Back Benches 12 October 2011

THIS WEEK ON BACK BENCHES: Watch Wallace Chapman, Damian Christie, the Back Benches Panel and special guests discuss the week’s hottest topics!

RENA FAILURE: The Rena—the container ship stuck off of the coast of Tauranga threatens to become a huge environmental disaster. The oil from its tanks is floating towards shore, damaging wildlife along the way. Are we moving fast enough to fix the problem? What should be done? And with bad weather on its way—can we prevent further damage?

MMP, FPP, SM, PV, STV—WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY? WHAT TO CHOOSE?: How do you want to vote for your politicians? Mixed member? First Past the Post? Supplementary Member? Preferential Voting? Single Transferable? Do you even know what they all mean? What will provide the best governing body?

Join us for a night of LIVE pub politics from the Backbencher Pub: Wednesday, 12th of October. Our Panel: ACT Deputy Leader John Boscawen, Green Party MP David Clendon, Labour MP Kelvin Davis, and National MP Michael Woodhouse.
