Tonight on the Huddle, Matt Heath from Radio Hauraki and Jack Tame from ZB's Saturday Mornings and Q&A joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more!  

David Seymour has raised some eyebrows after he was caught Snapchatting school-aged students back in 2016. Has the outrage been blown out of proportion?

The Government has introduced more standardised tests for primary schoolers - is this a good idea? Will tests help boost New Zealand's academic prowess?

President Joe Biden has blamed his shaky performance in last week's debate on jet lag. Do we buy this - or is Biden gaslighting voters?

Ryanair has caused quite a stir in the UK - from May next year, passengers will need to check in by smart phone only, meaning they will no longer be able to physically check in at a counter at the airport.

Currently 60 percent of their customers do check in online, but those who don't face a charge of $97 nzd.

For those without smartphones, they will have to find someone who has one. Ryanair does have a policy which lets passengers check-in online 60 days before their flights.

Aviation Commentator Irene Kind told Jack Tame that it's more convenient to check in online.

He says that it is the future and as a customer himself, the only focus is to get on that aircraft therefore, it is “very sensible” for that company.
