The Panel

In part two, a private members Bill from New Zealand first MP Jenny Marcroft is aiming to legally define men and women by biology. But politics aside, barrister Graeme Edgeler says it misses the legal mark. Then, how far underwater can a human go? Professor Simon Mitchell's work is deepening that possibility, and a hydrogen 'rebreathing' technique, and he's just been awarded $1m to continue this research.

Wallace Chapman and producer Tessa Guest preview tonight's instalment of The Panel.

An extra half hour of The Panel with Wallace Chapman, where to begin, he's joined by Nights host Emile Donovan. Then: how do art thieves actually get rid of their stolen treasures and turn a profit? It turns out organised crime sometimes uses stolen art as bargaining chips. Anja Shortland from King;s College in London has studied the stolen art economy and guides us past the lasers and glass cabinets for a behind the scenes look at the art thieves world.

In part two, there's a campaign to ease the poly-crisis in fuel and general living costs by offering free public transport to young people aged 5 - 18. The Panel talks to Alicia Hall, the National Coordinator of Parents for Climate Aotearoa. Then, have you ever felt a deep desire to put on space suit and imagine what it would be like to walk on the moon? Look no further than Te Awamutu, where the local Space Centre offers dress ups, interactive exhibitions, and this week, a livestream of NASA's Artemis II mission.

Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Sarah Perriam-Lampp and Chris Wikira. First up, there is a stoush revving up on the motorcycle riding world. Riders say the increase in the cost of registration is unfair and they are putting their regos on hold. Then, housing minister Chris Bishop has lashed out at Christchurch City Council for rejecting a developer's heritage-inspired building design, saying it's 'nonsense'. Were they right to put a stop to the 'faux heritage' design?
