TV One's late evening news programme

New Zealand's flagship, in-depth current affairs programme covering a host of local stories. Presented by Richard Long, with reporters Kerryanne Evans, Rob Harley, Jackie Maher and Rod Vaughan.

Reporter: Rod Vaughan Producer: Linda Gollan How many tourists are too many? Assignment looks at what affect the increasing numbers of tourists are having on our environment. New Zealand is a tourist magnet, but increasing numbers of visitors mean increased development. Is the natural beauty of our country under threat? Rod Vaughan travels through the South Island where he investigates the preparations for two major new roads that could change the face of travel down South - but what are the dangers of such a project to our environment? Vaughan also looks at a major project near the Milford Sound to build the world's longest gondola - 12km if it goes ahead. And to find out what lessons we can learn from our neighbours across the ditch, Vaughan travels to Northern Queensland to visit two of the most popular tourist destinations, which created controversy initially - but are now being embraced readily.

Reporter: Jackie Maher Producer: Chris Harrington Assignment reveals new facts and never before seen footage of the game that never was - the second game of 1981 Springbok tour. It went down in history as the game that never was - the second game in the 1981 Springbok Tour of New Zealand, that was to be played against Waikato at Rugby Park in Hamilton. But what happened made history. Up to 400 protestors invaded the pitch and remained there until the game was called off. What many didn't know was that there was a lot more going on in the skies. Jackie Maher investigates the real reason the game was called off. Police were concerned that a light plane, piloted by a WWII fighter pilot, and hero, would crash into the grandstand at Rugby Park in Hamilton. Pilot, Pat McQuarrie had unsuccessfully tried to steal a plane to disrupt the first game, but did manage to steal a plane from Taupo and venture forth to disturb the second. Maher talks with the main protagonists, including Father Ted Dibble, a priest, and a leader of the anti-tour movement who negotiated with police on behalf of the protestors that day, as well as Bob Walton, the police commissioner involved 20 years ago.

Reporter: Kerryanne Evans Producer: Neil Parker Assignment looks at the human cost to sub-contractors in the building industry who have been hit hard in recent years, with the collapse of building contracting companies. Hartner Construction is the latest in a number of major building companies to go under in recent years. Their demise coming during the construction of the apartment/hotel complex on Auckland's Princes Wharf. Correspondent Kerryanne Evans talks exclusively with Wayne Hartner and project developer Dave Henderson about the situation. Hartner went into liquidation owing many millions of dollars. More than a thousand suppliers and sub-contractors may have been affected by the collapse. Assignment talks to a number of the subbies who have been affected about the financial and human cost.
