Q + A This Week: Snapper, Local Elections, ACC, Iran
Q + A
SUNDAY 18TH AUGUST, 11AM, TV
ONE
On the programme this Sunday, fishing for a fight over snapper; recreational fishers push back over government plans to cut the snapper quota from nine to three.
Also on the programme, councils make decisions that affect our daily lives, decisions like fluoridating water, funding libraries, setting rates and embarking on costly projects so why don't more people care about their local body elections?
We also talk to head of ACC, Scott Pickering; after another security breach can government departments still be trusted with our information?
And as the Egyptian military clamps down on Muslim Brotherhood protesters, we talk to Iran's Ambassador about handling protests and about Iran's new president.
On the panel this week, political scientist Dr Raymond Miller from Auckland University, commentator and former ACT MP Deborah Coddington, and the Vice-Chancellor of Massey University, Steve Maharey.
