Today on The Huddle, we had Jordan Williams, Taxpayer Union executive director and Simon Wilson, NZ Herald senior writer here to talk about the following:

Is giving money to an organisation better than an individual homeless person?

Should 1st XV be televised? Auckland 1st XV principal say it will no longer be broadcast as it created at unhealthy level of scrutiny or pressure on students.

After four months detained, two influencers left Iran. It sounds like they were seasoned travellers in the Middle East. Should we feel for the couple or is it travel at your own risk?

Tim O'Connor of Auckland Grammar is threatening to withhold school reports if parents don't pay fees, is that okay?

Does being bipolar / being mentally unwell excuse Kanye West for his racism / other behaviour? Are you glad to see Adidas cut ties?

What is the Lower Hutt council up to? It couldn't find a huge rave in a bush when noise complaints were made, but journalists found out who was organising it and where it was after one phone call.

All of these and more got discussed on The Huddle!
