Tonight on The Huddle, current affairs commentator Josie Pagani and Tim Wilson from Maxim Institute joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day- and more!
Prime Minister Chris Luxon revealed that a six-member Defence Force team will be deployed to the Middle East region to uphold maritime security. Is this the right move?

Several people were the victims of a parking scam at the Foo Fighters concert and had to pay hundreds of dollars to get their care back after they were towed. Do we think the towing company should reimburse them? Do we trust anyone in a hi-vis vest?
Surf Lifesaving is largely funded by donations and corporate sponsoring- does the Government need to step in and change this?
