The Panel with Denise L'Estrange-Corbet & Andie McCombs Part 1
Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Denise L'Estrange-Corbet and Andie McComb. First up, New Zealanders owe an eye-watering 16 billion dollars of student loan debt. The panel hears from special counsel Dave Ananth from law firm Stace Hammond. He says he's had clients so stressed out about the debt that they'd become suicideal or had their marriages break apart. Then they talk to Otago University Associate Professor Leah Watkins who is the auhtor of a new study that shows children are exposed to the marketing of unhealthy food, alcohol and gambling 76 times every day.
