The PanelThe Panel with Nalini Baruch and Alan McElroy, Part 1Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Nalini Baruch and Alan McElroy. First up, the former Prince Andrew has become the first senior royal in modern times to be arrested. He was taken in under on suspicion of misconduct in public office. It's an extraordinary turn of events in the Epstein saga; a saga that does not want to go away. Then, Te Huia, the Hamilton-to-Auckland train trial, has been extended to June 2027. Supporters of the trial are happy, but can Te Huia perform well enough to secure its permanent future?
