28 October 2014 Coming up on Te Karere... Three people who've arrived in NZ have been put on Ebola watch. Teina Pora's legal team heads for Privy Council appeal. The Employment Relations Amendment Bill is set to go to its third reading this week. Want to win some money by doing a haka? Due to the live nature of Te Karere, some segments will not be subtitled. Tena koutou katoa, and welcome to Te Karere. There's been top-level confirmation this morning that three people who've arrived in NZ have previously been put on Ebola watch. 74 people have come to NZ from Ebola-stricken West African countries since August 10. No one is currently being monitored for the virus but Health Minister Jonathan Coleman says three people have been on temperature monitoring in that time, which is part of our Ebola screening process. Australia is considering cutting visas to people coming in from countries affected by Ebola, but our prime minister says that is not considered an option here yet. Twice convicted murderer Teina Pora is on his way to London to try to get his name cleared. Pora spent 21 years in jail for the rape and murder of Auckland woman, Susan Burdett. He flew out this afternoon with his legal team for a hearing before the Privy Council. Oriini Tipene-Leach reports. We're unable to provide subtitles. The Employment Relations Amendment Bill is set to go to its third reading this week. The Labour Party says it will affect the vulnerable workers including Maori and have called for the Maori Party to do something about it. But the Maori Party say they have been opposed to it from the start and the Government does not need them to pass the law. Changes to the Employment Relations Amendment Bill are going ahead. The opposition have slammed the changes and they're calling for the Maori Party to take a stand. Labour says the Maori Party agreed to parts of the bill, but the Maori Party say they've held one stance right from the beginning. One major concern of the union's is the impact on the employee and union's role in pay negotiations. However, the Government is adamant the changes benefit both sides. This is one of the Government's biggest issues, the bill is in front of the Select Committee and they're hoping to push it through quickly. Despite the Maori Party's opposition, the bill will go through with the support of ACT and United Future. It's an example of the relationship agreement with National, but in the end it could be Maori workers who pay the price. Irena Smith, Te Karere. If all Maori quit smoking life expectancy would increase by five years. We followed two women who are on the path to finally kicking their addictions to smoking cigarettes. Manwa Wright reports. Blowing into a breathalyser with a desire to become a non-smoker. Henry has been smoking for 20 years, Sheck four, and this organisation doesn't turn their back on those that wish to quit smoking. One way of combating impulses is to chew gum and lozenges. At the moment we live 7.3 years less than European Nzers. There are many motivations to quit smoking, and for some it's simple. Stoptober ends on Friday, Te Karere will present the most up to date statistics on smoking for the whole country, including Maori. Manawa Wright, Te Karere. After the break, the Waipareira Trust look to expand their services, and is Maori TV relocating its work place?

There's been wide speculation that Maori TV could be moving to Rotorua, but is there any truth to the speculation? Reports say Maori Television is in the middle of deciding whether to seek new premises or to stay put in Newmarket. The station refutes the claims, but people we spoke to say otherwise. Hinerangi Goodman with this report. There seems a great desire for Maori Television to be relocated to Rotorua. We have put in a bid to Maori TV. A few of us are working on it. There is so much for Maori TV to look at. From the beginning, this was the place we chose for the Maori Television station, this was the place chosen for the Maori Television station, but now we're looking for somewhere more permanent. Maori TV has been in its Auckland home for 10 years now, but our proposal says that there is no place better than Rotorua for its new home. Others who have also had talks with Maori TV are the Auckland Council's Maori Statutory Board, Hamilton City Council and this one in Rotorua. This community has always looked after all things Maori, as well as well Rotorua is closer to all hapu and iwi. A move to Rotorua will also mean paying a lot less than if the station were to remain in Auckland. Real Estate here in Rotorua is a lot cheaper than in Auckland. We have done our homework and have recorded it all. Real estate here in Rotorua is a lot cheaper than in Auckland. We have done our homework and have recorded it all. In time we will see who the successful applicant will be. Hinerangi Goodman, Te Karere. Let's take another look at today's top stories. Let's take another look at today's top stories.

Want to win some money by performing a haka? The Warriors' Feleti Maateo is off to the Manley Sea Eagles next year. In other news, a Kiwi player is facing some trouble ahead of their clash against Samoa on Saturday in Whangarei. Raniera Harrison has more. An early exit from training today for this descendant of Ngati Pikiao. Scary scenes as we might not see this again, against Samoa this weekend. And they're staying quiet on whether or not he'll make it in. The Kiwis have been bolstered by the inevitable addition of Issac Luke to the playing side for the Four Nations clash against Samoa, something the team is obviously excited about. And it was the defence that was being tested as they know the Samoan presence will be mighty. And it was the defence that was being tested as they know the Samoan presence will be mighty. And these two Kiwis set intent on the task at hand. We'll find out if Whare is named in the side at the announcement come 5pm. Raniera Harrison, Te Karere. $5000 is up for grabs if you win a haka challenge. But there's a catch - you have to be a US resident. It's to celebrate the All Blacks match against the USA Eagles on Sunday. People can learn the haka on the DoTheHaka.com web site People can learn the haka on the DoTheHaka.com web site then upload pictures or videos performing the haka onto social media using the hashtag #dothehaka. The prize money can then be used to attend a rugby match in 2015, plus there's a chance to win All Blacks gear. He may be all the way in the USA, but you can't take the NZ out of Steve Adams. He got in touch with home today, and Te Karere decided to take another look at the last time we caught up with him. Even though he has gone to America, he hasn't severed all ties to New Zealand. Adams, always keeping abreast of what's going on at home. When he was home, he spoke to Te Karere about dealing with stardom. And this descendant from the islands And this descendant from the islands still knows the significance of the culture of his adopted home. He hit back at NBA superstar Andre Iguadala over some negative comments he made about the haka. But he's also making friends on that side of the world. He also won't resort to trash talking, something that is common place in the NBA. It is thought that Adams has a good shot at being a starter this season. But he continues to stay humble. Adams' first game for the Oklahoma City Thunder, will be broadcast live in NZ on the 29th of this month. Heta Gardiner, Te Karere. That's all we have for today. Kia ora tatou katoa.
