	Description:		Today on The Huddle: Trish Sherson from Sherson Willis PR and Kaine Thompson, former Labour press secretary talk about the follwing issues of the day- and more! Parliament is drafting legislation to potentially allow 16-year-olds to vote, provided 75 percent of MP's vote in favour of the change. Does the voting age need to be lowered? Winston Peters recently said that NZ First is definitely planning a comeback- and that they won't work with the current Labour Government if they're in a position to do so after the last election. He also accused Labour of lying to their coalition during their previous partnership. What do we think of all this? After many debates, the Government has proposed one change to the Human Rights Act, with this amendment only being applied to religious communities. Does this feel like a watered-down compromise, even if the Government won't rule out applying these laws to other groups? Is Twitter still worth using?
