1In His Own Defence The man who ran over and killed Christine Clark on the Bluff waterside picket line was this week found guilty of manslaughter but escaped a prison sentence. He speaks for the first time. Correspondent: Janet McIntyre Producer: Brent Fraser In December 1999, tragedy struck at a waterside workers' union protest. Mother of two Christine Clark was run over by Derek Powell in his four-wheel drive. She died of her injuries in hospital two days later. Powell has been found guilty of her manslaughter - but for him, it's not an open and closed case. 'In His Own Defence' he says he was attacked that day by picketers, and he doesn't remember seeing Clark - or running her over. But others dispute Powell's attack story and suggest he reacted in anger, not fear when he drove through the picket lines. Was he attacked or wasn't he? That was the question at the heart of his subsequent manslaughter trial. Just days before his sentencing (tomorrow Friday June 15) Powell talked exclusively with Janet McIntyre about what happened that day on the Lyttleton wharves. [17/06/01]

2Shutting the Gate People who come out of prison and continue to rape and murder. "Sensible Sentencing" campaigner Garth McVicar advocates locking society's worst offenders away for life and is determined to provoke a law change. Correspondent: John Hudson Producer: John Shaw New Zealand's crime statistics are staggering. Figures suggest violent crime has risen by 77 per cent in the last 10 years. For a group of Kiwis enough is enough. They are sick of repeat offenders being released to go on and reoffend. So, Garth McVicar, the leader of the group, 'Sensible Sentencing' is 'Shutting the Gate' at his farm and leaving his animals behind to campaign against crime. He and his wife Anne want to see more done about the rising crime rate - and they're prepared to go to extremes to further their cause. Among the membership are the victims of violent crimes who want to see society protected from people who are not ready to be released into society again. They say these offenders should be locked away for good. John Hudson talks with McVicar, who was motivated to start the group after watching - then attending in person, Mark Middleton's highly publicised trial, as well as members of the group who have been victims of violent crime themselves, as they prepare to lobby for their cause.

3ABBA The ABBA phenomenon - the stage show Mamma Mia! Currently in Melbourne. Would they reunite for a world tour for $2 billion? Correspondent: Richard Carleton Producer: Kathryn Bonella They were Sweden's biggest export, at one time even bigger than Volvo. They were 'Abba'. With their endearingly accented English and a string of pop classics like 'Waterloo', 'SOS' and 'Fernando', Abba was Sweden's answer to The Beatles. For many people they were the '70s. Then, they were gone. By the mid 80s the band and their marriages had dissolved, and Abba was decidedly uncool. Not anymore! As Richard Carleton reports, with surging album sales and a record-breaking London musical based on their songs, Abba are back in vogue - the most fashionable pop icons since - Abba. [17/06/01]
