This week on The Sunday Panel, host of The Front Page podcast Damien Venuto and Coast Day host Lorna Riley joined in on a discussion about the following topics: 

We're less than a week away from King Charles' Coronation- Are we getting hyped for this historic event or are we victims of Coronation apathy?

Employers out of the UK have claimed Gen Z workers "lack motivation" and are "easily offended". Are Gen Z really our laziest generation yet, or is this an unfair stereotype?

National's Chris Luxon has promised if elected, newly graduated nurses and midwives will be paid back $22,500 thousand if they stay in New Zealand for five years. This will also apply to those who have graduated in the past five years. Is this helpful to our health workforce?

The Sunday Panel: Are Gen Z the laziest generation ever?

He won for his role in political thriller The Secret Agent, and he's also earned acclaim for his roles in Narcos, Dope Thief and The Gray Man.

On January 15, 2001, Wikipedia officially launched online, giving users a new platform to learn from.

While the site's credibility and reliability were questioned in the early days, it is now well-regarded as a globally trusted source of facts.

Wikipedia founder and internet entrepreneur, Jimmy Wales, has revealed the platform taught him a lot about trust and information in the digital age - and he's turned his findings into a new book The Seven Rules of Trust.

"I think's worked because of a lot of different reasons. And I think one of the main reasons is because we have a purpose, we have a very simple purpose, which is a free, neutral, high quality encyclopaedia."

Jimmy Wales: Wikipedia founder on the site turning 25 and what that means for technology

The Heir Apparent by Rebecca Armitage - I touched on this one in the fiction round up at the end of last year but given time constraints with a number of books in that piece, it really warrants a bit more attention. Lexi Villiers is a trainee doctor in Tasmania when she’s suddenly summarily summonsed back to London by her grandmother the Queen, after her father and twin brother are killed in a skiing accident -  meaning she’s now next in line for the throne. It’s fun, entertaining fiction based on the monarchy about which the author clearly knows quite a lot and followers of The Crown will love it.

The Uncool by Cameron Crowe - This is a memoir by a legendary rock and roll journalist. Back in the 70’s, Cameron Crowe began writing about bands and music, and was published by Rolling Stone magazine at the age of just fourteen. He really lived the dream - spending time with, and writing about Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, Joni Mitchell, The Rolling Stones and many many more. He went on to write the screenplay for the autobiographical movies Fast Times at Ridgemont High and then Almost Famous (which he also directed). This was an era we’ll never see again, and it’s wonderful nostalgia about a glorious time in music and a young man who took full advantage of it.
