From The Panel, 4:40 pm on 13 December 2017

The 10 overdoses on the drug nicknamed 'drop dead', a mix of fentanyl and heroin, are thought to be the first deaths outside of North America. New Zealand Customs says they're monitoring the situation carefully, Investigations Manager Bruce Berry tells us more about why it's so concerning.
