A daily, midday, news package which featured an in depth interview about a current news topic. Viewers could phone in and ask questions of the key interviewee.

  • 1ANZAC Day Thousands of New Zealanders - men and women- gave their lives during the World Wars to preserve New Zealand's way of life, as well as in Malaya, Korea and Vietnam. New Zealanders commemorate their memory on ANZAC Day. However, now the way ANZAC Day is commemorated has become blurred with a number of other activities, such as sport, gambling and drinking. What is the point of ANZAC Day? Should it be a public holiday? Was the reward for those soldiers who returned a land fit for heroes, or were the real heroes those who refused to go to war? Discussion and viewer talkback with peace campaigner Rinny Westra.

  • 11The South African Government has revealed details of how it is scrapping one of the most hated aspects of apartheid, the Pass Laws system and replacing it with a new non-racial urbanisation policy. However, existing measures which separate the living areas for various population groups in towns and cities will remain in force. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers rugby team has played its first match in South Africa, narrowly beating the Junior Springboks 22:21. But the real drama on this tour is occuring well away from the rugby field. The New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRFU) says the rebel players and their team management must be prepared to accept the consequences of their actions.
