The Panel with Brian Edwards and Michelle Boag (Part 1)

From The Panel, 4:07 pm on 8 October 2014

Topics - on Waiheke Island, one man died in Monday night's fire; the boat owner John "Craka" Walker managed to escape, but suffered severe burns. Finance Minister Bill English has said it's illegal to build and sell a house in Auckland for under half-a-million dollars - he means that do do it any cheaper you'd have a sub-standard building. He's blaming the Resource Management Act - of which the government has long been a critic. So, is this Bill English stating a fact or preparing the public for a major shake up of the RMA?
