The Panel with Tim Batt and Aimie Hines, Part 1
Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Tim Batt and Aimie Hines. First up, rates caps are here. From 2027, councils won’t be able to increase rates by more than 4 percent per year. The Westland region has had the highest rates rises in the country over the last three years. Its Mayor, Helen Lash, joins the programme. Then, the public inquiry into how Tom Phillips children were supported by authorities has raised questions over who deserves an investigation. Some lawyers, including Canterbury University lecturer Rachel Evans, say children living at Gloriavale are being overlooked.
Head to the 15 min mark. Rachel Evans, law lecturer at University of Canterbury spoke on the Panel about Gloriavale and why the children have been let down for the past few decades.
