We celebrated the launch of The Wireless with a panel discussion, gig and dancing emoji at Galatos, in Auckland, on Thursday November 14. Our panelists – comedian Rose Matafeo, Diane White of JustSpeak, doctor Anna Morrow, and Shortland Street actor and Generation Zero ambassador Cameron Jones – answered the question ‘Who do you trust?’, with their answers ranging from “no one” to “everyone, at least at first”, and every shade of grey in between. Radio New Zealand’s Noelle McCarthy moderated the discussion.
