1The Warehouse Profile of Stephen Tindall, founder of The Warehouse. Is he tearing small-town New Zealand apart? Correspondent: John Hudson Producer: John Shanahan Stephen Tindall is Mr Warehouse; the founder of 'The Warehouse' - a chain of stores that have been accused of selling junk, of importing trashy Asian products at the expense of Kiwi jobs, and damaging traditional mainstreet retail shops. But no one can accuse The Warehouse of losing money. It's now one of New Zealand's largest corporations - with more than 90 stores nationwide and sales in excess of a billion dollars, thanks to Tindall's determination. It's gone from a one man band store in Glenfield to the success it is today in less than 25 years. And now they're set to go global - following Tindall's vision of expanding into Australia - taking on a market dominated by Woolworths and Coles Myer. But not everyone is so enthusiastic about this idea. Many believe the company's financial success has come at a huge cost for small retailers, small manufacturers and small communities. John Hudson talks with them, as well as Tindall and Greg Muir, the new CEO of The Warehouse, who is driving the move into Australia. [29/04/01]
2Race Against Time Profile of New Zealand's new Race Relations Conciliator, South African Gregory Fortuin. Correspondent: Mike Valintine Producer: Melanie Jones Gregory Fortiun admits he used to hate whites - this is an extraordinary admission from a race relations' conciliator. But as a South African black man who was forced to live with apartheid, he saw many things that made him take this view and stick to it. He fought against apartheid and was involved in the reconciliation process in South Africa. Now he's doing one of the most difficult jobs in New Zealand - Race Relations Conciliator. This is a man who has a blind faith that he can win a 'Race Against Time' and turn race relations within New Zealand around within a couple of years. And after 10 years in this country, the man who has turned his back on the corporate world believes we will need to go through a similar process to South Africa. [29/04/01]
3Mammoni Handsome, well-dressed Italian businessmen are tending to stay at home with their mothers waiting on them hand and foot - even into their mid-forties. Correspondent: Lesley Stahl Producer: Shari Finkelstein Where else can you find the pasta, the vino, and the 'Mammoni' that you find in Italy? Mammoni, if you're not familiar with the term - are adult Italian men who continue to live at home with their Mums and Dads. But it's just not a natural fit - the idea of the Latin Lover, the Cassanovas and Romeos of Italy being tied to their mother's apron strings. But that's the way it is for many Italian men - handsome, dressed in the best, in well paid jobs - but still, each evening going home to mother, having their beds made, meals prepared - washing and ironing done. As Lesley Stahl reports more than half the young men in Italy do this. [29/04/01]
