Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Richard Pamatatau and Deborah Hart. First up, they pick through the Melbourne Cup results with Rob Burnet. Then they head to Auckland Zoo, which is calling out for a halt on fireworks this Guy Fawkes. Then, a mental health recovery centre faces potential closure as a new report shows access to services is already fragmented. Whakamātūtū director Martin Quinn joins the show.
