WILLING seller, willing buyer? Does it justify the price hikes of snacks and drinks at the cinema?

This week, our panellists talk about profiteering, consumer awareness – or lack thereof – and our willingness to be abused in our wallets in the choices we make on a daily basis.

Culture, religion and politics collide as we discuss the larger conversation of what the Bon Odori festival has brought to the surface.

Is faith so easily shaken? Are some politicians trying to establish their position? Are we letting this discussion be dominated by parties pushing an agenda?
