6PM CAPTIONS BY SAM BRADFORD AND ANNA BRACEWELL-WORRALL. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR. TVNZ ACCESS SERVICES 2013 DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF SEVEN SHARP, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. TONIGHT WE MEET A COLLECTOR OF EVERYTHING ` TONS OF IT. IT'S MADE HIM UNPOPULAR WITH SOME. WE'LL TELL YOU WHY SOME WANT HIM GONE. I HAD TILL DINNER TIME TO REMOVE MY POSSESSIONS, AND WHAT WAS LEFT WAS ALL HIS. WE PLAY YEAH, NAH. THIS HIPSTER DOESN'T THINK SO. YEAH, WE WORK REALLY HARD FOR OUR COMPETITIVE EDGE, AND I FEEL WE DO A GOOD JOB, BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE DISADVANTAGED. TIM WILSON AND BRODIE KANE WILL ARGUE IT. WE'RE LIVE AT THE BEEHIVE TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOUNG PEOPLE CAN LEARN FROM THESE GUYS AT THE ANNUAL YOUTH PARLIAMENT. DEAN BUTLER ALSO HAS THE HARD ISSUES. TONIGHT: SMALL FRUIT, BIG QUESTIONS. THERE'S ONE DEGREE OF SEPARATION IN OUR COUNTRY FROM GETTING FREE FEIJOAS, SO WHY ARE GOOD, HONEST, EVERYDAY KIWIS BUYING THEM? THAT'S ALL TONIGHT ON SEVEN SHARP. JUST WHERE IS THE LINE? SHOW OFF, COLLECTOR, HOARDER. You are a people can't open the door to your house. ABOUT TO MEET A GUY IN NORTHLAND WHO, FOR MANY, VAULTS OVER THE LINE. ACOUSTIC GUITAR MUSIC IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GET SOMETHING VALUABLE HOME AND ALL YOU HAVE IS A MOUNTAIN BIKE AND A SHOELACE, KEITH MONTREAL WILL SHOW YOU HOW YOU GET IT DONE. < WHAT HAVE YOU GOT? SOME GOODIES. A TOILET. KEITH'S FROM WHANGAREI. HIS THING IS THINGS. < HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A MAN MOVE A TOILET IN THIS WAY? BOTH: NO. YES, THEY DO STARE, BUT IT'S BECAUSE I'M AN UNUSUAL GUY. KEITH MONTREAL, TREASURING OTHER PEOPLE'S TRASH, IS A COMMON SIGHT AROUND WHANGAREI. BUT KEITH HAS ONE RATHER OBVIOUS PROBLEM. TO EVERYBODY ELSE THINKS IT'S ONE BIG PILE, BUT NO, I'M GETTING MYSELF SORTED OUT. ONLY PLACE I'VE GOT. I WAS THE GUARANTOR PREVIOUSLY, AND I LOST MY HOUSE BECAUSE THE MAN NEVER PAID THE BILLS COS OF THE BANK. KEITH HAS LIVED HERE SIX YEARS. HIS LOUNGE, KITCHEN AND BEDROOM ARE ALL IN ONE ROOM. I'LL MOVE THOSE TO ONE SIDE SO THERE'S ENOUGH SPACE FOR ME TO STRETCH OUT, AND I FALL TO SLEEP QUITE READILY. HIS BATHROOM HAS A VIEW,... THIS IS WHERE I HAVE A SCRUB UP WHEN I'M GOING OUT DANCING. ...AND HIS BACKYARD IS FULL OF WHATEVER HE CAN GET HOME ON HIS MOUNTAIN BIKE. THAT DEEP FREEZE, I BROUGHT IT UP FROM RAI VALLEY. KEITH'S HOARDING HAS MADE HEADLINES. PAUL HOLMES VISITED HIM JUST BEFORE HE LOST HIS HOUSE. TO THE NEIGHBOURS, THIS MIGHT BE NOT THE MOST VISUALLY PLEASING SORT OF SIGHT. IF I COULD GET A SHED OR PUT IT UNDER COVER, THERE WOULD BE NO MORE COMPLAINTS, AND THEN I WOULD BE AT PEACE WITH EVERYBODY. MORE MEDIA WHEN HE WAS KICKED OUT OF A STATE HOME. BUT REALISE THIS ` THERE IS MORE TO KEITH THAN JUST HOARDING. ON MONDAYS, HE GIVES HIMSELF AN EXTRA SCRUB, FOR TONIGHT HE HAS AN IMPORTANT APPOINTMENT. WALTZ MUSIC PLAYS WE MET EACH OTHER AT THE LIBRARY, WHERE SHE SAID SHE'S LOOKING FOR A DANCING PARTNER, AND I SAID, 'WELL, I'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU FOR A PARTNER.' KEITH AND CYNTHIA DANCE TOGETHER TWO NIGHTS A WEEK. I HAVE BEEN MARRIED. SHORT STINTS ` ABOUT SIX MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS. BUT I THINK IT WAS MY OWN FAULT. PERHAPS A BIT SELFISH. AND YOU'RE PROBABLY WONDERING ABOUT KEITH AND CYNTHIA. THE BAD NEWS IS FOR KEITH CYNTHIA IS SPOKEN FOR. IT'S A CINDERELLA SITUATION. I JUST MEET HER AT THE DANCE AND SAY GOODNIGHT, AND THEN MEET HER AGAIN AT THE FOLLOWING DANCE. THERE IS A COST TO LIVING THIS WAY, THOUGH ` KEITH CAN'T BE A HUSBAND OR A FATHER. HIS PARENTS ARE DEAD. HIS ONLY SISTER LIVES AN HOUR'S DRIVE AWAY. THEY HAVEN'T TALKED IN 10 YEARS. WELL, I'M A LONER. I'M QUITE HAPPY. I DON'T HAVE TV OR A RADIO. NOW, THOUGH, KEITH'S PIECE OF PARADISE IS ALL GONE. HIS LANDLORD HAS SAID 'NO MORE'. BUT I HAD TILL DINNER TIME TO REMOVE MY POSSESSIONS AND WHAT WAS LEFT WAS ALL HIS. SO I JUST HAD TO ACCEPT THAT AND WALK AWAY. SINCE THEN I'VE HAD TO LIVE UNDER A BRIDGE. THE GOOD NEWS IS KEITH NOW HAS A NEW HOME. BUT A MOTOR-CAMP CABIN IS NO PLACE FOR A HOARDER. WE HAVE A VERY COMFORTABLE BED, EXCEPT THAT I HAVE TO MOVE 24 ITEMS EACH MORNING. THIS TIME, THOUGH, KEITH IS NOT ALONE ` SHARON AND PHIL FROM THE SALVATION ARMY ARE HELPING. SO WE HAVE HELPED TO STORE SOME OF HIS STUFF; EVEN SIMPLE THINGS LIKE LEARNING TO WASH CLOTHES IN A WASHING MACHINE. BUT FOR ALL THEIR PLANNING, THEY HAVE NO LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS. THERE'S NO EASY ANSWER TO PROBLEMS LIKE HOARDING, AND OFTEN CASES OF ADDICTION. I FEEL IF IT WAS BEST POSSIBLE THAT I HAD A PLACE A LITTLE BIT OUT OF THE DISTRICT FOR ME TO DO MY OWN THING WITHOUT PEOPLE COMPLAINING. 21 YEARS AGO THEY TALKED ABOUT RELOCATING KEITH. WHAT DO YOU THINK OUGHT TO BE DONE? > OH, GET RID OF HIM. TODAY THE PROBLEM REMAINS. ONLY NOW, KEITH IS 80 YEARS OLD. HE'S AN INTELLIGENT, BEAUTIFUL GENTLEMAN. THIS IS A STORY WITH NO QUICK FIX FOR A GUY WHO ACTUALLY DESERVES A HAPPY ENDING. GETTING TO KNOW THE REAL KEITH, NOT JUST THE COLLECTOR, HE'S A PLEASURE TO SPEND TIME WITH. I INTERVIEWED HIM 15 YEARS AGO. DR SEAN SULLIVAN, PSYCHOLOGIST JOINS US. How would you define what he is and where he is? This new criteria that only came into effect in May this year, people understood what hoarders were, but there was no clinical description. He's a nice person. Is there any way the situation he is in could be channelled into something more acceptable? To be of order, you would have to be collecting items and reluctant to let go of them,but you'd have to have them filling up your house to such an extent that you can't operate or creating a fire risk that he can't perceive himself. It's getting towards the hoarder, but if he has no problem moving around, and anyone living in a normal house moves things around. Someone with a Twitter account tweeted and said this. Hoarders see things they collect as being an extension of themselves. They put value on things that we don't see as valuable, and it gives them comfort. Is it reasonable to expect any change? Unless it's affecting someone else, we can't ask for change. He enjoys dancing and seems to have a social life, which is inconsistent with being a hoarder. STAY WITH US. PLENTY TO COME AFTER THE BREAK. SHOULD YOU PAY GST ON ONLINE SHOPPING? I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SAY, BUT WAIT. WITH SO MANY FEIJOAS IN NZ, WHAT SORT OF MONSTER IS BUYING THEM? AND WE'RE LIVE WITH JEHAN CASINADER IN WELLINGTON. YEAH, NAH EXPORES UNDERPANTS. What were you thinking? I'm engaged now; it doesn't matter what I wear. THE GOVERNMENT IS LOOKING AT A PROPOSAL TO COLLECT GST ON EVERY OVERSEAS ONLINE PURCHASE. IS IT A GOOD IDEA? NOW, I'M A FAN OF ONLINE SHOPPING JUST AS MUCH AS THE REST OF YOU. IN FACT, THERE ARE 1.8 MILLION OF US WHO BOUGHT SOMETHING ONLINE LAST YEAR. BUT I THINK THAT SOMETIMES, THERE'S A CERTAIN GROUP THAT ARE GETTING SERIOUSLY RIPPED OFF ` THESE PEOPLE. NOW, WE WORK REALLY HARD FOR OUR COMPETITIVE EDGE. AND I FEEL WE DO A GOOD JOB, BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU ALWAYS` YOU'RE DISADVANTAGED. WE HAVE TO PAY GST ON LOCAL PRODUCTS, WHETHER THEY'RE ONLINE OR NOT, SO WHY SHOULDN'T WE HAVE TO DO THE SAME WITH OVERSEAS PRODUCTS? YEAH, BUSINESS IS GOING OFFSHORE. THE DOLLAR IS GETTING A CENT OVERSEAS. OH YEAH, AND DID YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU BUY ONLINE, YOU'RE NOT COVERED BY THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT? SO IF IT'S TOO BIG OR THE WRONG COLOUR, TOO BAD! SHOPPING IS ABOUT SENSES, RIGHT? IT'S ABOUT SMELL; IT'S ABOUT SOUND, MUSIC AND THE WAY PEOPLE TREAT YOU. YOU DON'T GET THAT ONLINE. OOH, HELLO. BACK TO THE ARGUMENT ` WHY WOULDN'T YOU COME INTO THESE LOCAL BUSINESSES AND SUPPORT THE PEOPLE THAT NEED IT THE MOST? LET'S BE HONEST ` WHO DOESN'T LOVE A GOOD BIT OF SHOPPING? AND THIS ISN'T JUST A LOCAL CRUSADE. RETAILERS IN AUSTRALIA AND THE UK ARE LOBBYING FOR SIMILAR MEASURES, AND THE US SENATE HAS JUST APPROVED A BILL FOR THE SAME THING. SO OUR BIG MATES ARE DOING IT. WHY SHOULDN'T WE? AND BESIDES, DO WE REALLY WANT OUR SHOPPING CENTRES LOOKING LIKE THIS? 'THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER' AS FOR THE SENATE PASSING THE MARKETPLACE FAIRNESS ACT, LOOK, JUST BECAUSE AMERICA DOES SOMETHING, DOESN'T MEAN WE DO IT. RIGHT? ACCORDING TO ONE SURVEY, YANKS SAY THEY WON'T SHOP AS MUCH ONLINE IF THAT HAPPENS. PUSH ONE OF MY KIDS, I WILL STAB ONE OF YOU! SO WHAT MIGHT THAT LOOK LIKE AGAIN? HEY, I LOVE KIWI FASHION AS MUCH AS THE NEXT MIDDLE-AGED GRUMP, AND YEAH, IT'S NOT FAIR THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE TO COLLECT GST. BUT FRANKLY, MOST PEOPLE LOVE THE IDEA OF PAYING A NEW TAX ALMOST AS MUCH AS THEY LIKE JOINING HANDS AND SINGING KUMBAYA. ALL: # OH, LORD, KUMBAYA. # EVEN THE GOVERNMENT'S IN TWO MINDS. HERE'S CUSTOMS MINISTER MAURICE WILLIAMSON. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE HAD SOME EASY MECHANISM. WOW, WAY TO SPIKE YOUR OWN WORKING PARTY, BRO. UNLIKE THE US SPY AGENCY THE NSA, BANKS CAN'T TELL WHETHER YOU'RE IN NZ WHEN YOU'RE BUYING ONLINE OR OUT OF NZ. TURN THEM INTO TAX COLLECTORS, AND THEY'LL LIKELY PASS ON THE COST. SO HUMAN NATURE'S AGAINST IT, POLITICIANS ARE MIXED, THE TECHNOLOGY'S NOT THERE. HEY, WHY DON'T WE JUST MERGE THE NSA WITH THE IRD? WOULD THAT WORK? NAH. I'M WITH BRODIE. IT'S CREATING A FALSE ECONOMY. YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE CONSUMER SOMETHING. I'M WITH TIM. I'M WITH NEITHER. I THINK ONLINE IS THE THING. I ASK ANYONE TO THINK ABOUT IT COMING FROM A SWEATSHOP. I'm still stuck on your underwear. JEHAN CHECKED OUT YOUTH PARLIAMENT. IT'S A BIT LIKE 'TAKE YOUR KID TO WORK' DAY, ONLY, WELL, IT'S NOT YOUR KID. THE INTRIGUE, IT'S WONDERFUL. THIS IS YOUTH PARLIAMENT, WHEN OUR POLITICIANS HAND OVER THEIR SEATS TO TEENAGERS. AS THE DAY BEGINS, THEIR NOSES ARE ALREADY IN THE TAXPAYER TROUGH. LOTS OF FOOD? LOTS OF FOOD, LOTS OF THINGS TO EAT. ARE YOU OLD ENOUGH TO DRINK? NAH. NOT OLD ENOUGH TO DRINK, BUT OLD ENOUGH TO RUN THE COUNTRY. GARETH HUGHES WOULD KNOW WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE. I'M SURPRISED I HAVEN'T BEEN APPROACHED AND ASKED IF I'M LOST, WALKING AROUND PARLIAMENT, THINKING I'M A YOUTH MP. YOUR WORDS, NOT MINE, GARETH. YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO BE A REAL MP TODAY. THEY'RE ALL STUCK ON THE BACKBENCHES TAKING SELFIES. HMM. MEANWHILE, THEIR MINI-ME'S ARE EYEING UP THEIR JOBS. < DO YOU LIKE THE IDEA OF A POLITICIAN'S SALARY? YES, IT DOES SOUND VERY NICE. YES. YES, BEING A POLITICIAN COMES WITH LOTS OF BIG PERKS. THAT'S THE SIZE OF KRIS FAAFOI'S SALARY, BUT WHAT ABOUT HAVING TO PUT UP WITH THE MEDIA? THERE'S A YOUTH PRESS GALLERY HERE TOO. HOW MANY PEOPLE'S LIVES HAVE YOU DESTROYED TODAY? > OOH, NONE YET, BUT I'M SUSSING IT OUT. THE YOUTH MPS ARE WILLING TO PLAY THE GAME. < WOULD YOU LEAK INFORMATION TO A JOURNALIST IF YOU WERE A POLITICIAN? I THINK I WOULD. < WHY? BECAUSE IT WOULD BE FUN. THIS IS MORE THAN JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS OFF SCHOOL; THE YOUTH MPS ARE DEBATING SERIOUS ISSUES. THERE'S A LOT OF WORK GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES THAT WE DON'T KNOW. BUT THE REAL MPS HAD BETTER WATCH THEIR BACKS. < WHO'S TRYING TO ROLL DAVID SHEARER? DO YOU KNOW? I BET HE KNOWS THE ANSWER. Michelle, you'll been here all day. A good experience? Could she do a better job than you, Peter Dunne? I have sent her an email. I'd like to go into Parliament down the track. Never take it too seriously. You have learned how to deal with those big issues? I'm sure we'll see some of these guys here in the future. I give Bill English a not achieved. I like Peter Dunne. STAY WITH US. JUST AFTER THE BREAK ` F-E-J-O-A. THAT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT RIGHT. F-E-J-O-I-S. CAN YOU SPELL 'FEIJOA'? UH, NO. SPELL IT? I CAN'T EVEN STOMACH IT! DEAN BUTLER ASKS WHY WOULD YOU BUY FEIJOAS.

FEIJOA SEASON HAS BEEN OVER LATELY. FOR SOME, THE LACK OF DROPPINGS ON THE LAWN IS A TRAGEDY. FOR SOME, IT'S A BLESSED RELIEF. IN THE FIRST OF AN OCCASIONAL SERIES, DEAN BUTLER EXAMINES THE LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIP. # WELCOME TO DEANO'S WORLD. # WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE WONDERS OF NZ? THE FIRST WONDER ` WHO BUYS FEIJOAS? IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY OF OURS, TWO THINGS ARE GUARANTEED FREE FOR LIFE: JUNK MAIL AND FEIJOAS. I NEVER HAD A FEIJOA TREE, BUT YOU KNOW HOW IT WORKS. YOU GET GIVEN A BAGFUL FROM NEIGHBOURS AND RELATIVES OR FRIENDS. YOU EAT HALF OF THEM, AND THE OTHER HALF GO ROTTEN. THERE'S ONE DEGREE OF SEPARATION IN OUR COUNTRY FROM GETTING FREE FEIJOAS, SO WHY ARE GOOD, HONEST EVERY KIWIS BUYING THEM? I WENT UNDERCOVER TO FIND OUT. SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC AND LIKE ALL GOOD SECRET OPERATIONS, IT HAD A NAME WHICH HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SUBJECT. WELCOME TO OPERATION BANJO. DID YOU BUY ANY FEIJOAS TODAY? I DID. YOU DID. AND WHY DID YOU BUY THE FEIJOAS? IT'S MY FAVOURITE FRUIT. DO YOU HAVE A FEIJOA TREE? I'VE GOT TWO. AND WHY ARE YOU BUYING AND EATING? BECAUSE THEY'VE FINISHED FRUITING. OK, BUT YOU LOVE YOUR FEIJOAS SO MUCH. YEAH. DID YOU BUY ANY FEIJOAS? NO. HOW DO YOU HAVE YOUR FEIJOAS? DO YOU JUST CUT THEM IN HALF AND EAT THEM? I JUST CUT THEM IN HALF AND EAT THEM. BUT FRIENDS MAKE PICKLE, AND I HAD A FRIEND FROM ENGLAND STAY RECENTLY, AND SHE'D NEVER SEEN FEIJOAS BEFORE, AND SHE THOUGHT THEY WERE WONDERFUL. AND SO I'M GOING TO MAKE SOME PICKLE AND SEND HER A JAR. YOU DON'T FEIJOAS? HATE THEM. WHY? JUST THE...? OH, NO, IT'S, UM,... THE TASTE OF 'EM. IT'S JUST... PERFUME-Y. MOST PEOPLE I KNOW LOVE THEM, AND IT'S ALL ABOUT FEIJOA CRUMBLES AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, ISN'T IT? SO IN MY RIGOROUS 30-MINUTE EXPOSE, ONLY ONE PERSON BOUGHT FEIJOAS. BUT I WASN'T FINISHED YET. WE MAY LOVE THE GREEN GLOBE OF GOODNESS, BUT CAN WE SPELL IT? F-E-J-O-A. THAT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT RIGHT, IS IT? F...? F-E-J-I-O-A? ...E... I... F-E-J-O-I-S. ...J... CAN YOU SPELL 'FEIJOA'? UH, NO. ...O... A. AWESOME. HIGH-FIVE. F-E-I-J-O-A. BOOM! YOU MAY LEAVE. THEY CAME FROM BRAZIL TO NZ IN 1920S. PLANTED SECRETLY IN EVERY BACKYARD. The word Feijo didn't used to be in the Scrabble dictionary until New Zealand lobbied them. AS YOU'LL HAVE NOTICED, DEAN IS LEFT FIELD. SEE YOU TOMORROW. CAPTIONS BY FAITH HAMBLYN AND AMY PARK. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR.
