ONE NEWS CAPTIONS BY RICHARD EDMUNDS AND SAM BRADFORD. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR. COPYRIGHT TVNZ ACCESS SERVICES 2013 DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF SEVEN SHARP, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. HI. WELCOME TO SEVEN SHARP. TONIGHT ` IF YOU'VE EVER LOOKED AT A RENTAL HOUSE YOU'D NOT LET YOUR DOG SLEEP IN, HAVE WE GOT A YARN FOR YOU. YES, WE MEET THE LANDLORD WHO NEEDED THE WHOLE TOWN BEHIND HIM JUST TO CLEAN UP WHAT HIS TENANTS LEFT BEHIND. AND LATER IN THE SHOW, OSCAR'S IN THE NEWS, AND WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE GUY WITH THE METAL LEGS AND AN OVERENTHUSIASTIC APPROACH TO HOME SECURITY. NO, WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT SOME ARE CALLING THE MOST RUBBISH ACADEMY AWARDS LINE-UP IN YEARS. YEP, A FILM ABOUT A FILM, OR A MOVIE WITH PI IN ITS TITLE, AND NOT A MATH PROBLEM OR MINCE AND CHEESE IN SIGHT. WE'VE GOT ALL THE BEST AND WORST FROM THE DOLBY THEATRE. AND LATER TONIGHT WE'RE WITH THE WINNERS OF TE MATATINI, THE OSCARS OF KAPA HAKA. OR MAYBE THAT SHOULD BE AMERICAN IDOL. ARE YOU THE SIMON COWELL OF KAPA HAKA? YEP. YEAH. CAN BE SIMON COWELL AND RANDY JACKSON... BOTH: ...AT THE SAME TIME. BOTH LAUGH BEFORE WE GET TO THAT, THOUGH, I'VE GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU. SINCE WHEN DOES TRYING TO START A MEXICAN WAVE AT THE CRICKET GET YOU CHUCKED OUT OF EDEN PARK? WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF SECURITY? I WANT TO KNOW. WAS IT THE FUN POLICE? YEAH, 84 PEOPLE WERE EVICTED FROM THE WEEKEND'S ONE-DAYER. OTHER CRIMES INCLUDED THROWING PAPER DARTS, HAVING A NAP AND DRESSING IN A BUNNY SUIT. IF THOSE ARE SERIOUS OFFENCES, MY 2-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER IS IN A LOT OF TROUBLE. (CHUCKLES) IT'S MONDAY. WELCOME TO SEVEN SHARP. WE HEAR IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN ` KIWIS LOVE INVESTING IN PROPERTY. AND YOU CAN DO WELL WITH A LITTLE RENTAL. OR YOU CAN HAVE THE KIND OF EXPERIENCE TREVOR SCHMIDT'S HAD. HE GOT THE SHOCK OF HIS LIFE WHEN HE FOUND THE FORMER FAMILY HOME, WHICH HE'D BEEN RENTING OUT, HAD BEEN TURNED INTO A TIP. JEHAN CASINADER TOOK THE GRAND TOUR, AND LUCKILY, HE TOOK A PAIR OF GLOVES AS WELL. LAID-BACK MUSIC WANGANUI ` HOME TO MICHAEL LAWS, STEWART MURRAY WILSON, AND A LOVELY MAN CALLED TREVOR. HELLO, JEHAN. COME ON THROUGH. THIS IS WHERE TREVOR'S FAMILY LIVED FOR 30 YEARS. IT'S A PRETTY GOOD PIECE OF REAL ESTATE. IT'S IN A SOUGHT-AFTER LOCATION, SOLID FAMILY HOME, CLOSE TO ALL AMENITIES, ALL THE SCHOOLS. THE HOUSE HAS BEEN RENTED OUT FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS, AND NOW IT COULD BE YOURS. OUTDOOR-INDOOR FLOW. OUTDOOR-INDOOR. IT'S DEFINITELY GOT A HISTORY. IT'S GOT HISTORY. SIMPLY BREATHTAKING? VERY BREATHTAKING AT THE MOMENT, INSIDE AND OUT. WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE ON A WEE TOUR AROUND THE PLACE? PAULA BENNETT, PROBABLY, AT THE MOMENT. PAULA BENNETT? MM. SHE'D BE INTERESTED IN SOMETHING LIKE THIS. (LAUGHS) WHY'S THAT? I'M SURE PAULA WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW BENEFICIARIES SPEND HER MONEY. WHEN TREVOR'S KIDS LEFT HOME, HE RENTED IT OUT TO A BENEFICIARY. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE TO HELP PEOPLE OUT. I USED TO THINK THERE'S GOODNESS IN EVERYBODY. BUT ONE DAY THE WOMAN AND HER KIDS WALKED OUT, LEAVING BEHIND THIS. THIS HERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE KITCHEN. BAGS AND BAGS OF RUBBISH. MY FAITH IN HUMANITY WENT OUT THE WINDOW AT THAT POINT. TREVOR HAD ALREADY WARNED THE TENANTS TO CLEAN UP. IT WAS NEVER WHAT I WOULD CALL TIDY, BUT IT CERTAINLY WASN'T IN THIS CONDITION. LAID-BACK MUSIC THE THING THAT'S MOST EXTRAORDINARY IS WHEN YOU WALK IN HERE, IT'S NOT THE SMELL OF URINE OR THE RAT POO OR WHATEVER ` IT'S THE FACT THAT THERE WERE YOUNG KIDS LIVING IN THESE CONDITIONS FOR UP TO TWO YEARS. I GUESS IT'S A SLICE OF LIFE THAT WE DON'T OFTEN GET TO SEE. TREVOR'S SON MATT IS ASTONISHED TO SEE HIS CHILDHOOD HOME LEFT LIKE THIS. BASICALLY, IT LOOKS LIKE THESE PEOPLE HAVE NEVER PUT RUBBISH OUT ON THE STREET ` THEY'VE STORED IT ALL IN HERE FOR TWO YEARS. THERE'S A DISHWASHER THAT SHOULD BE SITTING IN THE KITCHEN. I JUST DIDN'T KNOW THAT THERE WERE PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY THAT LIVED LIKE THIS. (CHUCKLES) AND ALL THE OLD CAR TYRES. HE PUTS ON A BRAVE FACE. YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN HIM CRYING ABOUT THIS. YOU DON'T LIKE TO SEE A GROWN MAN CRY AT ANY TIME. MUM'S DEVASTATED. MUM CAN'T EVEN COME ROUND TO LOOK AT THE PLACE. MATT ACCEPTS THAT HIS PARENTS WERE TOO TRUSTING. WHILE DEALING WITH ILLNESS, THEY DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO FULLY MONITOR THE PROPERTY. THEY SHOULD HAVE HIRED A RENTAL MANAGER. THEY DID HAVE INSURANCE, BUT THE COMPANY SAYS IT MAY TREAT EACH PIECE OF DAMAGE AS A SEPARATE EVENT, MEANING THE PAYOUT COULD BE SLIM. THIS IS WHY YOU PAY INSURANCE, SO WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS, YOU GET COVERED. IT'S LIKE DAD IS GETTING HIT WITH A DOUBLE WHAMMY. PEOPLE SAY, 'OH, PEOPLE LIVE IN SLUMS IN INDIA' OR BANGLADESH OR WHEREVER. (COUGHS) THIS IS HALF A YEAR'S WORTH OF TOILET ROLLS. THE DAMAGE IS DONE, BUT IT CAN BE FIXED WITH SOME LOCAL MIGHT. THE COMMUNITY HERE IS AWESOME. AND IT'S A REAL SHAME THAT PEOPLE LIKE THIS, WHO TRASHED THE PLACE, GIVE WANGANUI A BAD NAME, AND I THINK THIS IS A COOL WAY TO SHOW THAT ACTUALLY, WANGANUI DOESN'T DESERVE THE BAD RAP. A MASSIVE CLEAN-UP ON SATURDAY HAS LIFTED TREVOR'S SPIRITS. IT BROUGHT ME TO TEARS. I MUST HAVE DONE SOME GOOD FOR SOMEONE IN THE PAST BECAUSE THEY'RE COMING BACK TO DO SOME GOOD FOR ME, AND THAT'S QUITE TOUCHING. MY FAITH IN HUMANITY HAS BEEN RESTORED, ESPECIALLY WITH THE YOUNG PEOPLE. TREVOR'S GOT SOME LESSONS TO SHARE FROM ALL OF THIS. THE SLIGHTEST HINT THAT SOMETHING'S GOING AWRY, JUMP ON IT STRAIGHT AWAY. GET YOURSELF A RENTAL MANAGER, GET YOURSELF A STRONG BOND AND LODGE IT WITH THE TRIBUNAL. IF YOU'RE A RENTER, THINK ABOUT ` THIS IS SOMEONE ELSE'S PROPERTY. YOU KNOW, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR PROPERTY TO BE TREATED? AND IF YOUR PARENTS OWNED IT, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT TO BE TREATED? IT'S TIME FOR THIS PLACE TO GET A NEW LEASE OF LIFE AND SOME NEW TENANTS. SO YOU RECKON YOU'LL GET THIS PLACE ON THE MARKET AGAIN ONE DAY? WE CERTAINLY HOPE SO. WHAT ABOUT THE BEAST OF BLENHEIM? WHAT IF HE WANTED TO RENT IT? NO. NO. I DON'T THINK HE'S VERY HAPPY WHERE HE'S LIVING AT THE MOMENT. WELL, OBVIOUSLY NOT. WE SPOKE TO THE WOMAN WHO LIVED IN TREVOR'S HOUSE. SHE STRONGLY DENIES CAUSING THE MESS, DESPITE BEING THE TENANT. SHE DOES ACCEPT SHE'S RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME OF THE RUBBISH LEFT BEHIND. NOW, WHAT CAN YOU DO IF YOU'RE A LANDLORD IN A SIMILAR SITUATION? JOINING US IS ANDREW KING, THE PRESIDENT OF THE PROPERTY INVESTORS' FEDERATION. There's things that you can do to help prevent that kind of thing. Just make sure you get the right tenant in the first place. A lot of people can't afford property managers, so that's not an option. What should Trevor be doing? The skills necessary to manage a property if you don't have it, sell it. Make sure you can afford a property manager. Charge rent which means you can afford to get a property manager. There's plenty of people who have jobs and still treated like a pigsty. Beneficiaries can make very good tenants. There are problems with a wide variety of people. It does seem strange. We are providing people with a home. There is a prevailing trend that We are not to be trusted. There are things that landlords can do. If the tenants have kids, and offering you can tell before they even move in, if they are nice to their kids, they tend to be nice to the property. If they are not treating the kids well, if the car is in a bad condition, they are probably not good tenants. UNSURPRISINGLY, REACTION TO THIS STORY ONLINE HAS BEEN STRONG. ON TO POLITICS, Carla Sharp says Here's one for you, Andrew Some of the property investor associations have a list of tenants. Generally, people who have done a runner? AND TODAY LABOUR SHOWED US WHAT ITS CABINET WOULD LOOK LIKE IF IT WERE TO WIN NEXT YEAR'S ELECTION. WELL,... SORT OF. HEATHER DU PLESSIS-ALLAN GIVES THE RED RESHUFFLE A GREEN MAKEOVER. LOOK AT THESE HAPPY LABOUR MPS. THEY'VE JUST BEEN PROMOTED. THEY'RE NOW CABINET MINISTERS IN WAITING. I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT. HUGELY EXCITING. BAD NEWS, THOUGH. LABOUR'S FORGOTTEN TO SAVE SOME SPACES IN CABINET FOR THE GREENS. HANDS UP WHO'LL GIVE UP THEIR JOB. CLOCK TICKS HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF CATHERINE DELAHUNTY > TOOK THE PORTFOLIO OFF YOU? (CHUCKLES) I'M NOT GETTING INTO THAT TODAY AT ALL. < HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF KEVIN HAGUE TOOK IT OFF YOU? WELL, THAT WOULD BE A DECISION FOR THE FUTURE. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF HOLLY WALKER TOOK THE JOB OFF YOU? > YOU KNOW, THAT'S MMP. LABOUR ALMOST CERTAINLY CAN'T WIN THE NEXT ELECTION WITHOUT THE GREENS. ASSUMING 20 CABINET SEATS DIVVYED UP PROPORTIONATE TO CURRENT POLLING, YOU'RE LOOKING AT MAYBE FIVE GREEN CABINET MINISTERS. SO WHO WOULD THEY REPLACE? WHO'S YOUR EQUIVALENT IN THE GREENS? IN THE GREEN PARTY, I IMAGINE, UH, RUSSELL BRA... NOT RUSSEL BRAND. RUSSEL NORMAN! A POSSIBILITY FOR DEPUTY PM? < HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF ONE OF THE GREENS CO-LEADERS < TOOK THE DEPUTY PRIME MINISTERSHIP OFF YOU? OH, THAT'S A HYPOTHETICAL. IS IT, THOUGH? ON CURRENT POLLING, THE GREENS MIGHT BE THE LEAST OF THEIR PROBLEMS. AFTER THE BREAK ` OUR OSCAR AFTER-PARTY FEATURES COMEDIAN ROSE MATAFEO AND A KIWI ACTOR WHO KNOWS A THING OR TWO ABOUT HOLLYWOOD'S BIGGEST NIGHT. HE'LL TELL US WHY SOME FILMS WILL NEVER WIN. PLUS ` THE SONG AND DANCE WHICH PUT $12M IN ROTORUA'S BACK POCKET. TODAY'S OSCARS WERE THE 85TH, AND THEY'VE CHANGED A LOT SINCE THE FIRST CEREMONY IN 1929 WHICH COST FIVE BUCKS TO GET IN AND WAS ALL OVER IN 15 MINUTES. JOINING US TO CHAT ABOUT THE 2013 OSCARS ARE COMEDIAN AND FILM NERD ROSE MATAFEO AND IN WELLINGTON ONE OF THE HOBBIT'S DWARVES, ACTOR JED BROPHY. ROSE, FROM ONE COMEDIAN TO ANOTHER, HOW DO YOU THINK THE HOST, SETH MCFARLANE, DID? I was ready to hate him. It's a really hard job. Being an Oscar host. It was not a good fit. He's an edgy comedian. The start was all right. He joked about how Tommy Lee Jones never laughs. From there it went into a really weird song. It was really awkward. WHAT WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT FOR YOU? I was surprised Jennifer Lawrence won Best actress. She is 22. It was just cute. I don't know. WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE ACCEPTANCE SPEECHES? Apart from a lot of men with long white here doing really long acceptance speeches. Anne Hathaway was bad at the Golden globes. She interrupted a speech to thank agent. ARGO ` A FAIRLY PATRIOTIC FILM. NOT FOR THE FIRST TIME, AMERICAN MOVIES CERTAINLY WELL REPRESENTED Thank you so much to the Academy for this. And the nominating me with Helen Hunt, Jacki Weaver ARGO ` A FAIRLY PATRIOTIC FILM. I think it's great that he's made a comeback and has been given a second chance. He is a fine actor, and good on him. WHEN YOU LOOK BACK OVER THE LAST 20-OR-SO YEARS. BUT A MOVIE THAT IS SO EFFECTS-DRIVEN IS A RARITY, ISN'T IT? There have been very few nominations for actors, especially in the fantasy genre. Fantasy doesn't do that well. They need to wake up and understand that this is a genre. The audience love. They need to look at giving a few more nominations in that area. It's something that New Zealand is very very well. With had more Academy Awards winners in Wellington per capita above our weight. DANIEL DAY-LEWIS ` GREATEST ACTOR EVER AWARD-WISE. He'll only do a job of it something he wants to do. There is no one that takes it as seriously as he does. He deserves it. I have a very inappropriate crush on him. It's Rose's 21st birthday today. Someone on Twitter said this was the greatest shirt of all time. AT THE OTHER END OF THE OSCAR SPECTRUM, THE PEOPLE'S OSCARS. IN THEIR FIRST YEAR, THEY ARE THE PRODUCT OF TIM WILSON'S FERTILE MIND. WITH A ROLL OF CARPET UNDER HIS ARM AND SONG IN HIS HEART, HE VENTURED TO DOWNTOWN AUCKLAND. WHY DO THEY GIVE AWARDS TO PAMPERED, LOLLY-GAGGING ACTORS WHO GET MILLIONS OF BUCKS TO DO THEIR JOB ANYWAY? WHAT ABOUT THE BEST MUM, THE BEST MATE, THE BEST SUNTAN? THIS IS THE PEOPLE'S OSCARS. WE'RE ON A BIT OF A BUDGET, SO... OOH, DEFINITELY NEED SOME OF THOSE. CUT OFF AT THE KNEES; I CALL THIS OSCAR PISTORIUS. DRAMATIC MUSIC CAN YOU COME AND HELP ME? HARD TO GET GOOD HELP THESE DAYS. SHE JUST TOOK THE WHOLE THING OFF. DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU COULD WIN AN OSCAR FOR? BEST WIFE? BEST HUSBAND? YOU LOOK LIKE ELVIS PRESLEY. SHOULDN'T YOU BE AT SCHOOL? I THINK YOU DESERVE A PEOPLE'S OSCAR FOR THOSE SHOES. LOOK AT THOSE SHOES. ARE YOU WILLING TO WORK THE RED CARPET IN THE PEOPLE'S OSCARS? SURE. OH, THIS IS AWKWARD. HELLO. (LAUGHS) NEVER FILM IN FRONT OF A` WHOO! WHAT ARE YOU WEARING, MARIO? WHAT IS THAT? SHIRT AND A PANT. OH MY GOD, HAYLEY! (YELLS) NO, NO, WHAT'S THIS...? (MUTTERS) COME ON. OH, DEAN VEGAS. IS THAT YOU, DEAN VEGAS? OWN IT, RIGHT? LIKE... # YOU AIN'T NOTHING BUT A HOUND DOG, DOG, CRYING ALL THE TIME. # JIM, JIM, JIM! HEY, JIM! AMAZING! WHAT DO SHEEP SAY? UH, BAA. CHEERING THE OSCAR FOR THE BEST SHOES... FOR YOUR SERVICES FOR IMPERSONATING SHEEP... FOR YOUR SERVICES TO PETANQUE NZ... I GIVE YOU THE OSCAR. YOU KNOW HOW LONG I'VE WAITED TO GET THIS? BOTH YELL I WON THE OSCAR! HEY! CHEERING THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. (LAUGHS) STAY WITH US. AFTER THE BREAK ` WE'RE AT THE ACADEMY AWARDS OF KAPA HAKA, TE MATATINI. YOU'D THINK THAT A BIANNUAL EVENT THAT BRINGS IN $12M ROTORUA'S ECONOMY WOULD BE BIG NEWS. BUT DESPITE THE FACT THAT TE MATATINI IS THE OLYMPIC GAMES OF KAPA HAKA AND HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR 40 YEARS, THIS SPECIAL WEEKEND'S BEEN EXPERIENCED BY FAR TOO FEW OF US. HERE'S CRAIG STANAWAY TO CHANGE THAT. (SPEAKS MAORI) THEY'RE TE WAKA HUIA, ONE OF 41 TEAMS AT THE NATIONAL KAPA HAKA CHAMPS IN ROTORUA. YOU'VE SEEN ONE; YOU'VE SEEN THEM ALL. THAT USED TO BE MY ATTITUDE. I'M AN IGNORANT PAKEHA ABOUT TO GET A BIG SHOCK. PEOPLE ONLY SEE THE FINAL PRODUCT. THEY DON'T SEE THEY FIVE MONTHS, THE THOUSANDS OF HOURS THAT GO INTO IT. THAT'S JUST FOR THE PRACTICE SIDE. A WEEK AGO WE WERE AT THEIR FINAL PRACTICE, DONE IN TOP SECRET BECAUSE WITH FOUR NATIONAL TITLES, TE WAKA HUIA THE TEAM EVERYONE WANTS TO BEAT. WITH THE SECRECY ARE YOUR SURPRISED THEY'RE ALLOWING US TO FILM? (CHUCKLES) YES, I'M VERY SURPRISED, BUT, AGAIN, THIS IS ALL PART OF SHARING. THIS IS ALL PART OF SHOWING WHAT WE DO IN OUR CULTURE TO THE REST OF THE COUNTRY THAT AREN'T SO PRIVY TO WHAT KAPA HAKA IS ABOUT. THIS IS ABOUT EVERYDAY KIWIS ` SCHOOLTEACHERS, STUDENTS, DRAIN-LAYERS AND BUSINESS OWNERS ` TRAVELING TO AUCKLAND FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY EVERY WEEKEND TO PRACTICE. I'VE HEARD STORIES. SOME OF OUR MEMBERS HERE TRAVEL FROM WELLINGTON. THEY'VE PAID UP TO SIX GRAND EACH FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. THIS CURRENT CAMPAIGN'S BEEN GOING ON SINCE OCTOBER. NICA WAS UP TILL 2 O'CLOCK. ACTUALLY, PROBABLY MORE LIKE 3.30, BUT THAT'S ALL PART AND PARCEL OF WHAT YOU DO. THERE'S NO MONEY. BUT IF YOU SWAP THE WORD 'MONEY' WITH 'MANA', MANA IN THE MAORI WORLD IS BIGGER THAN MONEY. AND THE BIGGEST NAME IN KAPA HAKA WATCHES EVERY MOVE. PARKINSON'S NOW RAVAGES THE BODY OF NGAPO WEHI (78). FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS NGAPO AND HIS LATE WIFE, PIMIA, REVOLUTIONISED PERFORMANCE. THEY SAW KAPA HAKA AS A VEHICLE TO PASS ON STRONG FAMILY VALUES. SO, NGAPO, IS HE LIKE THE JEDI MASTER OF KAPA HAKA? YEAH, I'D SAY HE'S THE GODFATHER. HE'S THE GODFATHER OF KAPA HAKA. MAN CALLS IN MAORI AND THE GODFATHER HAS PASSED THAT ENORMOUS RESPONSIBILITY ON TO HIS SON TAPETA. COULD I JOIN? YEAH, 'COURSE YOU CAN. IF YOU LOOK AROUND, THERE'S PROBABLY PEOPLE WHITER THAN YOU HERE. WE'VE HAD AN OPEN-DOOR PHILOSOPHY ` PEOPLE WANT TO COME AND JOIN, COME INTO OUR DOORS. JUST KNOW THAT IT'S A LOT OF HARD WORK, IF YOU GOT WHAT IT TAKES. ALL CHANT IN MAORI LEGACY IS A WELCOME BURDEN FOR TAPETA. HOW GREAT WOULD IT FEEL TO WIN ANOTHER ONE FOR HIS AILING DAD? THIS IS MODERN WARFARE, MAN. WE'RE GOING TO WAR, YEAH. (CHANTS IN MAORI) IS TAPETA THE SIMON COWELL OF KAPA HAKA? YEAH. HE CAN BE SIMON COWELL AND RANDY JACKSON BOTH: ...AT THE SAME TIME! BOTH LAUGH ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IN THIS COUNTRY AT THE MOMENT IS WORK ETHIC. WE'RE JUST LAZY. HERE ARE YOU GUYS UP AT 5.30 IN THE MORNING. YOU'VE GONE FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF, YOU HAVE A BIT OF BREAKFAST, AND YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP GOING TILL 11 O'CLOCK TONIGHT. YEP, WE'RE ALL DAY, ALL NIGHT. WE JUST DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO. AND THEN YOU'LL WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND DO IT ALL AGAIN? AND DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, AND THEN GO BACK TO OUR NORMAL LIVES SUNDAY EVENING AND THEN BACK TO WORK ON MONDAY. IT IS ABOUT BRINGING IN YOUR PEOPLE, BEING A ROLE MODEL FOR THOSE NIECES AND NEPHEWS AND LITTLE COUSINS AND BROTHERS AND SISTERS THAT ARE AT HOME. AND IF THEY THINK THAT YOU'RE GOOD, THEN THAT'S SOMETHING THEY CAN ASPIRE TO AS WELL. ALL SING IN MAORI TE WAKA HUIA TOOK TO THE STAGE AT MATATINI OVER THE WEEKEND IN FRONT OF 15,000 PEOPLE. 30 JUDGES, FIVE CATEGORIES TO JUDGED ON. THEY WON. IT MADE ME PROUD TO THINK THEY'LL BE REPRESENTING US AT THE WORLD EXPO IN ITALY NEXT YEAR. THAT'S ALL FOR TONIGHT. SEE YOU TOMORROW AT SEVEN SHARP. CAPTIONS BY FAITH HAMBLYN AND VIRGINIA PHILP. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR. COPYRIGHT TVNZ ACCESS SERVICES 2013
