Mike Houlahan, (Past Editor of Dunedin-based Fairfax newspaper D Scene, final edition published end of May 2013), Jinty MacTavish (Dunedin City councillor, youth-worker, film-maker and activist), Dr Nicholas Khoo (lecturer in Politics with a specialist knowledge of China and international relations), & Dr Selwyn Yeoman (Presbyterian minister, environmentalist, and Master of Knox College), with Professor Andrew Bradstock discuss questions submitted by prospective members of the audience relating to issues of current concern. Among the issues for discussion are: the Leveson report and press freedom in New Zealand, New Zealand and Kyoto, the Chinese leadership change and China-NZ relations, New Zealand's nuclear stance, and whether we're more obsessed by Hobbits than our own real 'little people'. 11 December 2012
