The Panel with Kathryn Graham and Ed McKnight, Part 1
 
Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Kathryn Grham and Ed McKnight. 
 
First up, they discuss the latest turn in the Te Pāti Māori saga with Waatea News host and journalist Dale Husband. Does the expulsion of MPs Mariameno Kapa-Kingi and Tākuta Ferris end the stoush? 

Then, the panel talks to two people who have witnessed first-hand the terrible Tongariro fires over the weekend.

The Panel with Kathryn Graham and Ed McKnight, Part 2
 
In part two, supermarket competition is cause for much concern in New Zealand, with prices squeezing every cent out of shoppers. But what about a co-operatively run supermarket? Nelson based researcher and long-time social and economic activist Bruce Dyer says it's what we need.  

Then, a former editor of NZ Naturist magazine goes into bat for the 65-year-old man arrested for cycling nude along Tamaki Drive. What exactly has he done wrong?
