Due to the live nature of Tonight, we apologise for the lack of captions for some items. We have Lindy Chamberlain's first big interview after a coroner's finding finally sets the record straight. We're in court as the grieving mother of farmer Scott Guy takes the stand. And the wonder drug that could stamp out addiction, so why is it banned in some countries? The mother of Feilding farmer Scott Guy admits she raised the possibility her son may have been shot before the cause of his death was known. Joanne Guy needed several breaks to compose herself at the trial of Ewen MacDonald, who's accused of murdering Mr Guy. Simon Bradwell has the story. Joanne Guy was on the stand for only three minutes when reliving her husband's words that their son was dead brought her to a standstill. He said, 'It's Scott. Something terrible's happened. You'd better get out here.' So, um... Ewen MacDonald's accused of killing his brother-in-law Scott Guy with a shotgun two years ago in a feud over the running of the family farm, Joanne Guy regaining her composure to give evidence that Ewen MacDonald had accused Scott Guy of 'skiving off' on the farm, until under cross-examination, it became too much. This is bad for my heart. Sorry. You wonder if you're gonna survive these things. Her distress causing Judge Simon France to call a temporary halt shortly afterwards. I can't remember anything now. < I think we should take a break. Yep, thanks. Take the jury out. Sorry. Joanne Guy had become upset when defence lawyer Greg King asked her to confirm what she said to Ewen MacDonald shortly after the murder. < READS: I said to Ewen, 'Did somebody shoot him?' < And he said, 'I don't know. I don't know. I think so.' Later agreeing she had used those words. The point is crucial because the Crown claims Ewen MacDonald said Scott Guy was shot before anyone had determined the cause of death, while the defence has tried to show that others raised the possibility of a shooting. Scott Guy's brother Callum told of going on night-time hunting trips with Ewen MacDonald... He'd mostly use shotguns, though there was a few times where he'd use... he got, like, a suppressed .22. ...and agreeing with the suggestion that Ewen MacDonald was a good shot. ACC's looking for a new chairman tonight. Crit I Criti I I Crit Critics say ongoing heat over serious privacy breaches has forced ACC minister Judith Collins says someone new will lead a change in culture at the corporation. Political reporter Jessica Mutch is following developments. Just last week, John Judge was fronting up, representing ACC as the chairman. He'd mostly use shotguns, though there was a few times where he'd use... he got, like, a suppressed .22. ...and agreeing with the suggestion that Ewen MacDonald was a good shot. ACC's looking for a new chairman tonight. and Mr Judge agreed with me that it would be appropriate, given his new role and the fact that... to bring in the new culture into ACC. Labour says John Judge is the fall guy. Well, I'd say that he's been pushed, and I'd say this is another National Party Cabinet minister who is not fronting up and taking responsibility for the things that have gone wrong in her portfolio. And somebody else has had to jump as a consequence. John Judge was chosen to be the new chairman of ANZ last month. But opposition parties say it's not his new banking career; it's ACC privacy breaches that have forced him out now. I think that it's important he takes some responsibility, significant responsibility for the debacle that has occurred in ACC around privacy breaches. One of those breaches centres on ACC claimant Bronwyn Pullar. Her supporter, former National Party President Michelle Boag, was at Parliament, but didn't have much to say about the Judge resignation. Probably my apology is gonna be a long time coming. Remember, Nick Smith also resigned from his ministerial portfolios over the issue in March. There are still two investigations into ACC ` one from the Auditor General and the other from the Privacy Commissioner ` and they're due back in the next few months. In the meantime, Paula Rebstock will be filling in until the minister announces a new chair. Jessica Mutch, ONE News. It's been 32 tragic years; a baby's death lead to her parents vilification and her mother's imprisonment. Four inquests later, the record has been set straight ` 9-week-old Azaria Chamberlain was killed by a dingo. Tonight Lindy Chamberlain gave her first major interview. Here's Steve Marshall. This is the death certificate, finally. Clutching her daughter's new death certificate, Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton was caught between celebration and vindication during her exclusive interview on her long fight for justice. I celebrate the final triumph of truth, but I don't celebrate her death. The two are so intertwined, I have no idea how I feel about that. during her exclusive interview on her long fight for justice. I celebrate the final triumph of truth, but I don't celebrate her death. The two are so intertwined, I have no idea how I feel about that. Azaria Chamberlain's death certificate now states the 9-week-old baby was attacked and taken by a dingo. It took three decades and four inquests to reach this point. During that time, Lindy Chamberlain was jailed for the murder of Azaria, a move she says was politically motivated at state level. When people are dead, you can tell the truth, but in Australia between now and then, until they're dead, you can't. You believe someone had it in for you? And I think at least on gentleman in particular could do with not being around so we could tell the truth. Lindy was exonerated by a royal commission in 1987, but the Chamberlains' fight for the truth continued, despite the break up of their marriage. Lindy and Michael Chamberlain received $1.5m from the government for their wrongful conviction, but their legal bills till now are understood to be seven times that. However, Lindy says she won't be seeking any more compensation. And I think there is a time when you say enough is enough, get on with your life and let it go. And after 32 painful and exhausting years, this mother can finally let go. Steve Marshall, ONE News, Sydney. A back-down by the government on a long-running family carers case could now cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars a year. The courts have repeatedly upheld a claim by a group of parents with disabled children, who insisted they were being discriminated against overpay. Political editor Corin Dann has more. For this family, today is the day that makes years of legal wrangling worthwhile. Hooray! BOTH: Yay! Victory at last! Victory at last and justice at last! They claimed they were treated unfairly by the Ministry of Health because they weren't being paid like other caregivers ` a legal argument upheld all the way to the appeal court. The Health Minister, Tony Ryall, says the government didn't think it could win in the Supreme Court either. We accept that the current Ministry of Health policy with respect to family members who are caring for their adult children is in need of being changed and the government has begun a policy process to change that. The families who took the original case back in 2001 will now be able to seek some compensation through the Human Rights Review Tribunal. Well, the government dragged it on for years and years, so the back pay will have to go back to when we first lodged the claim. However, the decision has much wider ramifications and could see the numbers of people receiving some state assistance jump from 30,000 to 50,000. We're in tight financial times, and we think that the best way we can deal with the court case is to accept there's a discrimination and change the policy, but the new policy will have to be affordable. The climb down from the government is being welcomed by opposition parties. It is another backdown, but a very good one. We are very pleased that the government has ceased the litigation against these families and agreed that it is a human-rights discrimination issue that cannot continue. The government will now establish a working group of experts to determine how the new policy will work. It expects payments could start flowing to eligible parents by next year. And response to the health minister's announcement has been positive tonight. Carers NZ says it shows the government's been listening. The battle's gone on for a very long time, but today is a real watershed moment when we can start looking at walking forward and making some progress, and so that's a tremendous development. A nine-month pay dispute between rest home workers and the Oceania Group has been resolved. The NZ Nurses Organisation and the service and food workers union have secured a 3.2% pay rise for 1500 staff. The nine-month employment dispute saw hundreds of workers walk off the job at Oceania rest homes in rolling strike action. A researcher in Dunedin is set to start up a nationwide observational trial of a controversial drug. He's going to follow more than 20 methadone addicts after they've taken a naturally occuring substance called Ibogaine. But as Renee Graham reports, it's banned in the USA, Australia, Sweden and France. Tanea Paterson battled a life-threatening addiction to morphine and then methadone for 10 years. But one dose of a little-known drug called Ibogaine stopped all that. I don't have any desire to touch methadone. I really don't. After a hallucinogenic journey that lasted several days, her cravings and withdrawal symptoms stopped. She'd taken a substance hailed by some underground addiction doctors, researchers or reformed addicts as a 'wonder drug'. It's claimed as little as one dose can provide a withdrawal-free, pain-free detox. I really do believe it did save my life. A nationwide observational trial of Ibogaine has just got the green light. It's a prescription-only substance here, but in other countries, like the USA or France, it's banned. A medical researcher will follow up to 30 methadone or opioid addicts after they've taken it. He aims to find out how successful Ibogaine is as a drug-addiction treatment. The potential is really quite significant, based on the, sort of, anecdotal evidence that we have. But really, you have to go beyond anecdotal evidence. But there's concerns about its safety. 19 deaths have been linked with its use overseas. Certainly, there's a number of adverse effects that have been reported, and these are rather serious. Some serious effects are changes to heart function and pressure on the liver. Lab rats who have taken a high dose have suffered brain damage. The trial is funded by an international organisation called MAPS, and this Kiwi legal-highs kingpin, Matt Bowden, he's known for bringing BZP party pills and the synthetic cannabinoid Kronic to NZ. When I first found it, the money had been sourced from Matt Bowden. I actually contacted Matt, and I said, you know, this is who this guy is, this is what his business interests are. Before I go further, I'd like you to confirm that there are no strings attached. Geoff Noller plans to publish his findings and if the evidence stacks up, apply for a clinical trial. Renee Graham, ONE News. An alleged gunman has been charged with the attempted murder of a policeman after evading authorities for almost five days. Murray Toleafoa was arrested after members of the Armed Offenders Squad swooped in on the 30-year-old in this Auckland supermarket car park. Six officers effected the arrest. He was not armed, and we have not located the firearm that was used on Friday night. Toleafoa allegedly shot at an officer and fled the scene after the car he was in was pulled over last Friday. Two others were with Toleafoa at the time he was found. Police still haven't ruled out if they'll face charges too. The man who fled the country after Westpac accidentally loaded $10m into his bank account has pleaded guilty. Leo Gao is set to be jailed in August after admitting seven charges of theft. But his sentence depends on what happens with more than $3m. Kate Lynch explains. Leo Gao arriving at the Auckland District Court ` bag packed in case he was taken into custody, because inside, he admitted stealing money from Westpac to the tune of almost $6.8m. According to police, this is how he did it. The struggling petrol station owner thought his prayers had been answered on April 21st when a Westpac banking error put $10m in his business account. Over the next week, Gao shifted over $6.7m to various places ` $500,000 to his ASB account; over $100,000 to his personal Westpac account. Police say he also shifted millions offshore. They believe it's in Chinese bank accounts in the names of Gao's mother and brother. But a legal expert says laying further charges would be difficult. If you've got evidence which clearly links the person to the money overseas, that's one thing. The next thing you'll need is evidence that they knew that the money was sent to them in order to conceal where it came from. Gao made 13 transfers to try to put his windfall beyond the reach of NZ authorities. However, police and Westpac have recovered nearly $3m. But more than $3m is still outstanding. According to police, Westpac are trying to recover some of the missing millions by having Gao pay reparation ` something the judge will consider when he's sentenced alongside his partner, Kara Hurring, in August. While it's likely the 31-year-old will serve time in prison, he didn't need his bag today. The judge remanded Gao on electronic bail until sentencing. Kate Lynch, ONE News. Motorists can expect to pay more to fuel up from August. Petrol excise duty will increase by 2c a litre, and road-user charges will go up by an average of just over 4%. The government says the changes will help pay for transport projects, and despite concern from road users about the increased cost, it's a move the AA says is inevitable. Usually, there's an inflationary adjustment every year or so, and it needs to keep pace with increasing costs, so unfortunately, it's a necessary evil. But motorists can expect to pay less to license and register their vehicles after a slight cut to administration fees. Prison guards are about to get training in how to use pepper spray. After a year-long trial in 10 jails, the new weapon will now be available to staff. Corrections Minister Anne Tolley says the trial's proven pepper spray helps protect staff and prisoners, but guards won't carry it on their belts in case prisoners steal the can to use against them. Just ahead, living on the edge ` how did Europe's third largest economy get itself in such a mess? And why staying out of the sun to avoid skin cancer could be bad for your health. The Kathmandu winter sale starts Thursday, with up to 60% off a massive range. There's huge savings on fleece, thermals, down jackets, rainwear, packs and much more. Don't miss the Kathmandu winter sale. It starts Thursday. 1 Investors are concerned that the huge bailout for Spain's banks has done nothing to address the country's massive government debt. But how did Spain get itself in such a downward spiral? The ABC's Jeffery Koffman explains how Spain gambled and lost. G There he is ` the matador, with his sensual dance, tempting fate, daring the bull with his red cape, or muleta. There's something typically Spanish about all this ` living on the edge. But now even Spain's prime minister says this country's been living on the edge for too long. Now the bailout. How did it happen? This is a country living way beyond its means. This little city on the outskirts of Madrid sure had big dreams ` a $200m arts complex, a music school, a circus. They ran out of money before they could finish it, and now vandals are destroying it. Not to be outdone, the nearby suburb of Parla spent $300m on an incredibly fancy tram system it can't afford to pay for, and on some days, can't even afford to operate. But wait, there's more. How about this? Parla spent $6m on a salt-water pool, complete with beach and palm trees imported from Egypt. The trees died, and sure is hot today, but the pool sits empty. We lost balance. There are too many bridges to nowhere here, if you want to use that metaphor from Alaska. All that and a massive housing boom that has collapsed, bringing down the banks. Unemployment 25%. And in Greece, it is much worse. Greeks vote this Sunday. The outcome could force them to leave the euro, destroying confidence in the currency. My Monday, US stocks would plummet, hurting your 401 K, US banks would be hit, making it harder for you to borrow, and US companies cutting jobs as Europe buys less. As for Spain, its best and brightest are learning a new skill ` German. These young engineers, architects and pharmacists all planning to move. I don't think I'm gonna find a job here. Even the beloved bull fight's affected ` too expensive. This year they'll be half the number there were five years ago. The perils of living on the edge. The UN's accusing Syrian troops of torturing children and using them as human shields on tanks to prevent attacks by opposition forces. The UN's special representative for children and armed conflict said in a report children were being tortured in detention and slaughtered in massacres. The report also accused rebel forces of using children on the front line. And a number of key opposition leaders in Russia have been hauled in for questioning by police ahead of a planned demonstration against president Vladimir Putin. Thousands have been gathering in Moscow for a rally demanding fresh elections and a new president. Mr Putin's taken a harder line against the opposition since returning to the presidency last month, signing a new law imposing crippling fines against those who violate protest laws. Aussies and Kiwis living downunder have long been warned to stay out of the sun. But new research has found Australians aren't getting enough vitamin D, sparking calls to add it to food. Channel Nine's Jessica Rich has more. For decades, we've been bombarded with the sun-safe message. Now our vitamin D levels are so low there's a push for it to be added to foods like bread, milk and cereal. Well, I think we need to act now. I think the government needs to look at the food regulations. Con Toulantas from Willoughby had a melanoma so kept out of the sun, until he was told he was vitamin-D deficient. He now walks and takes supplements. I feel better. Everything's working better. Some doctors say that's all we need to do, that putting vitamin D in food is overkill. There's been some studies out recently to show that excessive vitamin-D levels are also harmful for the body. A lack of vitamin D leads to poor bone health and diseases such as osteoporosis. It's also been linked to depression. Excessive amounts, on the other hand, can lead to clotting and heart disease. It's not so easy when you've been experiencing the sort of weather we have lately, but whenever you can, you should get outside for around 15 minutes a day, preferably outside of peak UV times. You should also get your vitamin-D levels tested. Legendary Cuban heavyweight boxer Teofilo Stevenson has died of a heart attack at the age of 60. Stevenson won three Olympic gold medals in the 1970s and was famous for his devastating right hand. American boxing promoters offered Stevenson more than $6m to turn professional and fight the then world heavyweight champion, Muhammad Ali. But the boxer stayed loyal to the Cuban revolution, which outlawed professional sports, saying he preferred the affection of eight million Cubans. Just ahead ` after weeks of fighting it out in the kitchen, find out who won this year's MasterChef NZ. In a tense final cook-off, Auckland marketing executive Chelsea Winter has won this year's MasterChef competition. Ms Winter and Ana Schwarz battled it out in four tough challenges. They were a taste test, an invention test using venison, a mystery dish challenge, and then they were given three hours to make a multi-layered trifle. This competition's just ignited a spark in me which has just gone 'whoosh!' And it's in full flame now. Winner Chelsea Winter now walks away with $100,000 worth of prizes including a deal to publish her own cookbook. Now to the weather. Little change for the next few days. Tomorrow a cold front within this flow gradually edges closer to eastern areas, moving onshore in the evening or at night. Meanwhile, the ridge remains anchored over the southern Tasman Sea. Auckland ` fine with areas of morning frost. A southerly breeze. Hamilton is fine and frosty too, light winds. Wellington ` cloudy periods and fine spells with southerlies. Christchurch ` cloudy spells, showers at night. Dunedin has showers in store, more frequent at night. Cold southwester. Thursday ` North Island, occasional showers in the east and about Wellington. South Island ` occasional showers, snow down to 200m in the south and 500m about the Kaikoura coast. And it's much the same forecast for Friday ` frosts south of Auckland, with the odd shower.
