Submissions close on David Seymour's End of Life Choice Bill tonight at midnight. It would allow people over 18, who suffer from a terminal illness or untreatable medical condition, to choose an assisted death. We ask the panelist what they would submit to support or change this euthanasia bill. National's finance spokesman, Steven Joyce has announced he's retiring from politics. He plans to go back to commerical life. It comes after his failed bid for leader of the party. He's the first to go under Simon Bridges leadership. We speak to former minister Peter Dunne about what this means for the party and why Mr Joyce chose now to step down. Yesterday we discussed ticket re-sellers scamming kiwis out of thousands of dollars for fake tickets. The Commerce Commission has since admitted there have been hundreds of complaints about one site in particular, Viagogo. to get the Commerce Commission to make head way on stopping these reselling sites. But expert legal advice is needed to see whether this Swiss company could be contorlled under New Zelaand law. Consumer NZ agrees the commission is taking far too long to stop this site. We ask the panelists their view. It's census day! We discuss a listener's experience where they received two census forms - despite only having one house. Not to mention the issues of New Plymouth residents in a new subdivision who still haven't received their forms. Manurewa Local Board member Angela Dalton tells us about the issues facing people in her community, where many don't have access to a computer - she says they're falling through the cracks each census.
