Tonight on The Huddle, broadcaster Paddy Gower and Tim Wilson from Maxim Institute joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more!

The Government is giving the green light to gene editing - and will overhaul laws that ban genetic engineering in NZ. How do you feel about that? Do we have to move with the times or is there danger for our exporters in being associated with GE?

The NZ Herald will not run a planned ad from the Hobson's Pledge lobby group - after massive backlash about last week's full page front page ad. Freedom of Speech campaigners are upset - does this show that the publisher of the Herald is pulling punches?
