4:06 David Farrar and Richard Langston are on The Panel today - We'll discuss the findings of The Independent Police Conduct Authority's report into the Urewera raids, the grand plans of Solid Energy for rescuing the NZ economy, and kids who leave school early because it's just not for them, and while many of them are of course disadvantaged not all of them are. For some it's the complete opposite as we've found with the guy who started up Tumblr. But you have to have a plan, and determination. And a discussion on the cost of everything now.

- 15:30 Auckland Story for 22 May 2013 - Halfway Down
First it was just a road; twenty years ago it became a song, now its art. Composer Don McGlashan's song 'Dominion Road' has become the subject of a piece of guerrilla art, halfway down Dominion Road. Nobody's letting on 'who done it', but the handsome brass plaque was secretly installed in the pavement outside 788 Dominion Road proclaiming "You are standing halfway down Dominion Road". The organisation in charge of Auckland's footpaths, Auckland Transport, has agreed it can stay. David Steemson went on a hunt. (9′06″)

- 16:07 The Panel with David Farrar and Richard Langston (Part 1)
Topics - Police officers acted unlawfully in establishing road blocks and detaining people during Operation 8 raids in the Urewera Ranges nearly six years ago, according to a report by the Independent Police Conduct Authority. Treasury papers show Solid Energy's ambitious plans for growth were developed on a far more optimistic outlook for oil and coal prices than its industry peers - but it had no analysis to back those views.

- 16:37 The Panel with David Farrar and Richard Langston (Part 2)
Topics - a London woman says she has been unemployed for two years because her good looks caused "massive problems" in the workplace. Might the founder of Tumblr, David Karp, have something to teach us about education? The government-owned insurance company Southern Response is defending a $1150 bill that one of its contractors charged for a property salvage report. The question has bubbled up ever since Francis laid his hands on the head of a young man in a wheelchair after celebrating Sunday Mass in St. Peter's Square. (22′54″)
