This week on the Sunday Panel, journalist and broadcaster, Wilhelmina O’Keeffe, and Coast Day host, Lorna Riley, joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more!

The Green Party has announced plans to introduce an overnight rail service between Auckland and Wellington, a passenger rail between Christchurch and Dunedin, and to extend the Te Huia train route to Tauranga. Do we support this? Will this be good for tourism? 

Price gouging is back in the news again, after the Electric Avenue music festival in Christchurch sold out. People were re-selling tickets at marked-up prices and one Airbnb property manager cancelled a client's booking and re-listed it - from $1032 to $9210. What do we make of this? Can we really regulate price gouging? 

Jobseekers are sounding the alarm over 'ghost interviews' that harvest data to train artificial intelligence. There's calls to ban these - how concerning is this development?
