Tonight on The Huddle, journalist Clare de Lore and Men's Health Week director Mark Sainsbury joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more!

It's been confirmed the Interislander's Aratere ran aground after someone accidentally pushed the autopilot button and couldn't switch it off. How bad does this look? Should the company stop hiding behind inquiries?

Does Joe Biden need to step down? George Clooney and Nancy Pelosi have recently added their voices to the growing list of people telling Biden he needs to drop out of the election. Do we agree?

Was it an inappropriate use of taxpayer money to spend $110,000 on 15 bikes for Kainga Ora tenants?

The knives appear to be out for Auckland Transport.

Wayne Brown's putting forward a proposal to strip AT of its policymaking functions and have elected representatives control it.

It also includes plans to abolish the council’s development agency and its events and economic development agency.

He'll need the backing of councillors, and in the case of AT's control, a law change.

Brown told Heather du Plessis-Allan that he’s sick of being blamed for things he doesn’t control.

He said that AT has had 12 years of complete independence to the point where the council almost seems to be more of a nuisance than an owner, and they’re not listening as much as he’d like.
