Some of the feedback is OK. IT IS A DELAY ...COMFORTABLE THAT CABINET HAS ANY INFORMATION. ...DECISION THAT CABINET HAS MADE TO SIMPLY RULE A LINE... SO, HERE WE GO AGAIN. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET A DECISION ABOUT COMPENSATION FOR DAVID BAIN? PLUS ` UNTIL RECENTLY, THIS STUFF WAS GOING STRAIGHT BACK INTO THE GROUND. SO HOW COULD A WASTE PRODUCT HELP SHRINK OUR WAISTS? MOST OF US ARE EATING TOO MUCH. AND HE'S A GUY ON A SCOOTER WHO'S UP THERE WITH... ...PEOPLE LIKE BARACK OBAMA, PEOPLE LIKE MOTHER TERESA. SO WHY DO THESE SCHOOLKIDS THINK OUR MATE WAYNE'S SUCH A BIG DEAL? IT'S REALLY OVERWHELMING TO THINK MY RIDE HAS MADE THIS HAPPEN. ONE NEWS CAPTIONS BY FAITH HAMBLYN AND JAKE EBDALE. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR. COPYRIGHT ABLE 2015 DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF SEVEN SHARP, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. You said it was all positive. 120,000 comments wouldn't all be positive. I have something to add to the fruitfly saga. THERE HAVE BEEN NO CLEAR ANSWERS FROM TEAM NZ TODAY ABOUT WHETHER SKIPPER DEAN BARKER IS STAYING OR GOING. BUT IT WAS BUSINESS AS USUAL FOR HIS SUPPOSED REPLACEMENT, PETER BURLING, WHO WAS OUT TRAINING AHEAD OF THE NATIONAL CHAMPS. THIS IS A COMPLETE AND UTTER WASTE. ABSOLUTE WASTE. WERE THESE HUNDREDS OF DEAD GURNARD DUMPED OFF AUCKLAND'S WEST COAST? THIS VIDEO POSTED ON FACEBOOK HAS SPARKED AN INVESTIGATION BY THE MINISTRY OF PRIMARY INDUSTRIES. THE MINISTRY SAYS IT'S POSSIBLE THE FISH WERE DUMPED, BUT THEY COULD HAVE ALSO BEEN KILLED BY AN ENVIRONMENTAL DISEASE. TO ANOTHER MASSIVE DUMPING, BUT OF A DIFFERENT KIND. NIAGARA FALLS HAS FROZEN OVER THANKS TO PLUMMETING TEMPERATURE IN THE US. THE POPULAR TOURIST DESTINATION IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN ICY FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. AND IT'S ALL FUN AND GAMES, UNTIL THIS HAPPENS. THIS 14-YEAR-OLD BOY LOST A GAME OF CHICKEN AFTER BEING HIT BUT A 40-TON TRUCK, TRAVELLING OVER 80KM/H. LUCKY FOR HIM, HE ONLY RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES. They should rename that game Dickheads. SO HAVING DRAGGED THIS THING OUT FOR YEARS, WHY WOULDN'T YOU ORDER ANOTHER REPORT? THE GOVERNMENT TODAY, UNABLE OR, TO BE FRANK, PROBABLY UNWILLING TO MAKE A CALL ON DAVID BAIN'S COMPENSATION, HAS RETREATED TO THAT TRIED AND TRUE POLITICAL TOOL OF 'STALL AND DELAY'. OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN CLEARED OF A CRIME HAVE BEEN PAID OUT, SOME OTHERS HAVEN'T, BUT HAS ANYBODY ELSE'S CASE TAKEN THIS LONG TO RESOLVE? HERE'S JEHAN CASINADER. IT'S A QUESTION THAT'S DIVIDED US FOR 20 YEARS. DID DAVID DO IT? DID HE MURDER HIS WHOLE FAMILY? AFTER A THREE-WEEK TRIAL, BAIN WAS FOUND GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS, AND WAS JAILED. WHILE HIS SUPPORTERS CLAIMED THERE'D BEEN A MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE. THERE STILL IS AN APPEAL TO THE COURT OF APPEAL IN RELATION TO THE EVIDENCE. AFTER 13 YEARS, THE PRIVY COUNCIL AGREED. HIS CONVICTIONS WERE WIPED, AND A HIGH-PROFILE RETRIAL LEFT BAIN A FREE MAN. SINCE THEN, HE'S GOT MARRIED AND HAD A CHILD. BUT HE STILL WANTS COMPENSATION, POSSIBLY MORE THAN $1M OF IT, PAID FOR FROM THE PUBLIC PURSE. ARTHUR ALLAN THOMAS, FRAMED BY POLICE FOR A MURDER, RECEIVED $1M. TO ME, IT WAS A HELL OF A HARD STRUGGLE. DAVID DOUGHERTY, CLEARED FOR THE RAPE OF A CHILD, GOT 900,000. PRAISE GOD FOR THE FACT THAT I'M FREE. A RETIRED JUDGE DID A REVIEW OF THE BAIN CASE, TELLING THE GOVERNMENT HE SHOULD GET A PAYOUT. JUSTICE MINISTER JUDITH COLLINS REJECTED THAT REPORT. IT IS SIMPLY NOT CREDIBLE. TODAY THE LATEST TWIST ` ALL RIGHT, QUESTIONS. THE NEW JUSTICE MINISTER ANNOUNCED SHE'S STARTING FROM SCRATCH. WE DON'T HAVE INFORMATION IN FRONT OF US THAT IS CONSIDERED TO BE RELIABLE. YET ANOTHER REVIEW WILL DETERMINE IF BAIN WILL BE PAID OUT, BUT THERE'S A CATCH ` ON BALANCE, HE WILL HAVE TO PROVE THAT HE WAS INNOCENT. JOE KARAM IS WITH ME NOW. Good evening. Are you disappointed? I think is unnecessary. It is a political game. There is no question of Amy Adams integrity. She has to make a decision. They have the information they need? My team did submissions. All the people interviewed. The police in charge say was ineptitude. Are they going to find someone to give them the answer they want? That is one end of the spectrum. I hope not. What other explanation is there? Keep doing reports into you get what you want? I put this spin on it. This is a controversial case. The Minister has a sign off on it. She won something that is as controversial as what Collins left with. Yyou saw Collins is a hurdle. The taxpayer wanted everything over and done with with no more expense. The Fisher report is criticising Binnie. Justice Binnie is a Supreme Court justice in Canada who had never ordered heard of the case he was neutral. About your intro he proved his innocence to Justice Binnie. You have all you need. You've always had a. Do except that is now over? It will be for us. If the government don't like the answer, who knows? If it comes out your way, they will honour it. I agree. How was David coping? He's got a good job. He's had enough. He's been up. Suddenly his he has got not all with his life and people have forgotten imagine someone you love has been 13 years of his life in jail because of ineptitude and police investigation. THANKS, JOE. Interesting about the taxpayer. We have a poll on our Facebook page. We asked if David should get compensation. 60 percent say yes. Do people want to see this innocence proved? Approved it. How many reports do you want? That's Joe's great frustration. The public undecided. COMING UP ON SEVEN SHARP ` WE REALLY THINK WE'VE GOT THE ANSWER TO ONE OF THE WORLD'S BIGGEST PROBLEMS AT THE MOMENT. WASTE NOT, WANT NOT. COULD IT MEAN WEIGHT LOSS? WHEN IT COMES TO WEIGHT LOSS, THERE ARE SO MANY GIMMICKS OUT THERE. HOW IS THIS NOT JUST ANOTHER ONE? I THOUGHT, 'WOW, WHY ARE WE GOING TO THE WORLD 'WHEN WE'VE GOT GREAT PEOPLE LIKE WAYNE IN NZ?' HOW WAYNE AND HIS SCOOTER ARE GIVING SOME SOUTH ISLAND KIDS A REALLY VALUABLE LESSON. EVEN THOUGH WAYNE ONLY HAS ONE TO FOUR MONTHS TO LIVE, HE'S STILL DOING SOMETHING, AND NOTHING CAN STOP HIM. I will be glad when the pregnancy is over. We are about to talk about weight loss. I've had nine months of whining. You will say you're not in the mood. He thinks me getting in front of the bowling machine tomorrow is a good idea. Let's talk about the weight loss. IT'S THE PERFECT BUSINESS VENTURE ` TURNING A WASTE PRODUCT INTO PROFIT. THAT'S WHAT A BLENHEIM COMPANY IS DOING BY PRODUCING A REVOLUTIONARY DIET PILL OUT OF DISCARDED GRAPE SEED. MIKE THORPE WENT IN SEARCH OF THE ANSWER TO A GROWING PROBLEM. MILLION DOLLAR VIEWS OF A BILLION DOLLAR WINE INDUSTRY. NOW THERE COULD BE A NEW GOLD WITHIN THESE HILLS. WE REALLY THINK WE'VE GOT THE ANSWER TO THE WORLD'S BIGGEST PROBLEM AT THE MOMENT, AND THAT IS MOST OF US ARE EATING TOO MUCH. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THESE GRAPES MIGHT BE THE SECRET WEAPON IN THE FIGHT AGAINST OBESITY. POWERFUL EXTRACTS FROM GRAPE SEEDS AND SKINS BUNDLED INTO CAPSULES. SO THE WAY THIS WORKS IS IT DECREASES YOUR DESIRE TO EAT. BASICALLY - YOU TAKE THESE PILLS AND YOU FEEL FULL FASTER. SCEPTICAL? YOU SHOULD BE. WHEN IT COMES TO WEIGHT LOSS, THERE ARE SO MANY GIMMICKS OUT THERE. HOW IS THIS JUST NOT ANOTHER ONE? YEAH, LOOK, IT ISN'T ANOTHER GIMMICK BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN FOUR YEARS OF LABORATORY RESEARCH ON IT, AND WE CAN'T FIND ANOTHER PRODUCT THAT HAS HAD THAT IN-DEPTH RESEARCH DONE. CHRISTMAS IS THE SEASON OF GLUTTONY. IN THE LEAD UP LAST YEAR, GLEN INTRODUCED HIS PILL TO THE FAT MATES. 100 SUPER-SIZED HUMANS AGREED TO TEST THE PILL, BUT ONLY 81 COMPLETED THE TRIAL. THE BIGGEST LOSER SHED 13.3KG. THE AVERAGE LOSS WAS 2.9 KG. INTERESTINGLY THOUGH, 18 FAT MATES RECORDED NO WEIGHT LOSS WHAT SO EVER. ALTHOUGH 11 WERE A BIT SLACK WHEN IT CAME TO TAKING THE DAILY DOSES. THE RESULTS HAVE LEFT SOME UNCONVINCED, INCLUDING FITNESS GURU BEVAN EYLES. EXERCISE BRINGS ESTEEM, BRINGS LIFE EXPERIENCE, BRINGS CAMARADERIE, AND YOU DON'T GET THAT FROM A PILL? NO. WELL, NOT LEGAL ONES. BOTH LAUGH BUT THERE ARE ALSO CONVERTS. 40 YEAR JUDE GIBSON IS ONE OF THE POSTER GIRLS FOR THE FAT MATES ` LIVING PROOF, SHE RECKONS, THAT THEY WORK. SO ON THE TRIAL I LOST 8.8 KILOS. SINCE THEN WE'VE HAD CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR. GLEN IS ALSO ADAMANT HE'S ON TO A WINNER. FOUR YEARS AND $12M WORTH OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH SUGGESTS IT DOES WORK. OBVIOUSLY IN THE FUTURE WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING MUCH LARGER, AND OBVIOUSLY MORE EXPENSIVE AND THOROUGH. WHETHER OR NOT YOU BELIEVE THIS IS A NEW MIRACLE DIET PILL. YOU CAN'T BE DENY THE PRODUCT'S RESOURCEFULNESS, LITERALLY MAKING SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING. SO THINK ABOUT IT LIKE THIS ` FOR EVERY 20,000 BOTTLES OF WINE WE PRODUCE WE NEED 25 TONS OF GRAPES, AND FROM 25 TONS OF GRAPES, WE GET 1 TON OF GRAPE SEED, AND UNTIL RECENTLY THIS STUFF WAS GOING STRAIGHT BACK IN THE GROUND. NOT ANY MORE. IT COULD BE MARLBOROUGH'S NEXT BIG EXPORT. TO ME IT'S A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF NZERS THINKING SLIGHTLY OUTSIDE OF THE BOX, LOOKING AT WHAT WE'VE GOT LOCALLY, YOU KNOW, HOW CAN WE USE IT, AND THEN DOING SOMETHING THAT HAS POTENTIALLY A REAL IMPACT ON THE GLOBE. FOR JUDE THE DIET IS ALREADY A HIT, AND SHE'S GOT BIG PLANS FOR A SLIMMER FUTURE. I WANT TO LOSE ANOTHER, OH GOSH, 30. (LAUGHS) GOT A LONG WAY TO GO, BUT YEAH. Quick points. What happened to grapeseed oil? Did we decide it was just a seed? The problem is if you you're an overeater, you going to eat when you're not hungry. You put a lot in, you need to burn a lot out. I look at a doughnut, I put on weight. The French paradox they smoke, eat cream pies and pastry. Lots of red wine. Just here for health tips. The studio is crashing down around us COMING UP ON SEVEN SHARP ` WE'VE BEEN LEARNING ABOUT PAYING IT FORWARD. THE SMALL TOWN THAT'S CHANGED ITS NAME ALL BECAUSE OF OUR MATE WAYNE. IT'S REALLY OVERWHELMING TO THINK THAT MY RIDE HAS MADE THIS HAPPEN. We asked you what you reckon we should work on at Z. Sometimes, like today, I just need to keep them moving as fast as I can. So we've got pay at pump. UPBEAT MUSIC So come and see what you reckon now, as we help you Zip Thru Z. Grey Lynn saga part 2. Mike's final comments last night ` hundred and 40,000 people commented to us about that. Most people weren't supportive of you mocking Grey Lynn. 'don't tell me that Mike is an epitome of a Grey Lynn resident. What is the on his lapel? 'Great to see that the graduate of a decile 2 school in Christchurch can poke fun.' This is how Remuera rolls. This was Mike going to work. He gave a speech for radio. I said I had to get there quickly and they came up with that. What a view. Maybe TV as it can organise it for me. There is nothing wrong with chandeliers at the front door. NOW, IF YOU REMEMBER A BRIGHT ORANGE SCOOTER AND A GUY WITH CANCER WHO WAS EXTRAORDINARILY UPBEAT FROM THE SHOW LAST WEEK, YOU'LL LIKE THIS NEXT STORY. WAYNE BIGGS' JOURNEY WAS ALL ABOUT RAISING MONEY TO FIND A CURE FOR THE DISEASE THAT'S KILLING HIM. INSTEAD, IT'S RAISED A WHOLE NEW GENERATION OF PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DO GOOD. HERE'S HADYN JONES. WAYNE BIGGS, TERMINALLY ILL WITH CANCER, IS STILL SCOOTERING. HE'S IN GLENAVEY, OR WAYNE-AVEY, AS IT'S KNOWN TODAY. IT'S ALL BECAUSE ROOM FOUR AT GLENAVEY ` SORRY WAYNE-AVEY ` SCHOOL STARTED LEARNING ABOUT ROLE MODELS. PEOPLE LIKE MOTHER TERESA. THEN THEIR TEACHER, KATE MAINSFIELD, SAW SOMETHING ON THE TELLY. THEN ON SEVEN SHARP ON MONDAY I SAW WAYNE'S STORY AND THOUGHT, 'WOW, WHY ARE WE GOING TO THE WORLD 'WHEN WE HAVE GREAT PEOPLE LIKE WAYNE IN NZ?' YOU REMEMBER WAYNE BIGGS FROM JUST LAST WEEK, HE WAS SPENDING HIS FINAL DAYS SCOOTERING AROUND THE SOUTH ISLAND, RAISING MONEY TO HELP FIND A CURE FOR THE CANCER THAT'S KILLING HIM. SO ROOM FOUR STARTED LEARNING ABOUT WAYNE BIGGS. HE HAS DECIDED TO GO AND HELP OTHERS. WE HAVE BEEN LEARNING ABOUT PAYING IT FORWARD. EVEN THOUGH WAYNE ONLY HAS ONE TO FOUR MONTHS TO LIVE, HE'S STILL DOING SOMETHING, AND NOTHING CAN STOP HIM. THEN, CRUCIALLY, THEY DECIDED TO STOP TALKING AND START DOING. WE ARE HAVING A FUNDRAISER FOR HIM AND OTHER PEOPLE WITH LYMPHOMA CANCER. THE KIDS WENT AROUND LOCAL BUSINESSES ASKING FOR THINGS ORANGE. THE PUB SOLD ORANGE SAUCE. WE'VE SOLD $100 OF SAUCES DOWN AT THE PUB. THE KIDS YESTERDAY WENT WALKING AROUND THE COMMUNITY, AND PUT FLYERS IN EVERYONE'S LETTER BOX. THEY CAME UP WITH A SHOP OF ORANGE THINGS ` JUICE, JAMS, SAUCES, LOLLIES, EVEN CUPCAKES. WE WENT TO A TEACHER'S HOUSE THAT LIVES ACROSS THE ROAD, AND WE MADE THEM IN HER OVEN. THEY'RE PLAYING ORANGE GAMES. AND TODAY EVEN THE BIG KIDS HAVE JOINED IN. BORROWED HADYN. IT'S BORROWED. ALL THEY NEEDED NOW IS WAYNE BIGGS PEOPLE CHEER AS A COMMUNITY, WE FIND YOU A TRUE INSPIRATIONAL MAN. YOU ARE NOT ONLY CHANGING YOUR LIFE AND THE LIVES OF THOSE WITH CANCER, BUT YOU HAVE NOW CHANGED THE WAY WE THINK IN ROOM FOUR. IT'S REALLY OVERWHELMING TO THINK THAT MY RIDE HAS MADE THIS HAPPEN. THE KIDS LEARNT A LOT TODAY ABOUT GIVING AND A LITTLE ABOUT CANCER. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN SICK FOR? I'VE BEEN SICK FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. CANCER IS A DISEASE THAT HITS EVERY FAMILY IN NZ. SO IT'S A SUBJECT THAT CHILDREN ARE REALLY COMING TO TERMS WITH AND UNDERSTANDING MORE ABOUT. THIS MAN HAS BOWEL CANCER. HE CAME ALONG TOO. YOU KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, AND WE ALL SUPPORT YOU. WAYNE'S HAD RADIATION THERAPY THIS MORNING. IT MIGHT EXTEND MY LIFE BY A COUPLE OF WEEKS, SOME AMOUNT OF TIME. NO ONE KNOWS, BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T COMPLAIN. HE HAS NO PLANS OTHER THAN TO ENJOY THE TIME HE HAS LEFT AND HAS SET HIS HOPES ON APRIL. IT WOULD BE FANTASTIC TO GET ANOTHER ANZAC DAY IN. I DON'T WANT TO BE GREEDY, BUT IF I COULD HAVE THAT, THAT WOULD BE PRETTY SPECIAL. TODAY ROOM FOUR RAISED... IT'S THE BIG CHEQUE. ...$1900 FOR CANCER RESEARCH. TO ACTUALLY MEET WAYNE WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST EXCITEMENTS FOR THEM BECAUSE BEFORE IT HAD JUST BEEN ON TV AND IT HAD JUST BEEN A PERSON WE HAD EMAILED. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY ROOM FOUR REALISED THERE ARE HEROES IN YOUR OWN NEIGHBOURHOOD. THEY'RE PROBABLY WORTH FOLLOWING OR EVEN, IF YOU ARE FAST ENOUGH, OVERTAKING. The more people that you get the inspiration for kids, the better. It's not really. Well done. AS YOU MIGHT HAVE ALREADY WORKED OUT, AT SEVEN SHARP WE LIKE NOTHING MORE THAN TO CELEBRATE SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE, AND THAT EXTENDS TO MEMBERS OF OUR OWN TEAM WHO ARE ACHIEVING THINGS. THIS MIGHT NOT COME AS A SURPRISE TO MANY OF YOU, BECAUSE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT ON THE SHOW BEFORE, BUT OUR OLD FRIEND JACK TAME IS AN ELIGIBLE BACHELOR. TODAY THAT STATUS WAS ELEVATED TO ONE OF THE UNITED STATES' 41 MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELORS, ACCORDING TO ELLE MAGAZINE. SO WELL DONE, JACK, AND WE THINK YOU SAID IT BEST WHEN YOU OFFERED THESE WORDS OF WISDOM, AND I QUOTE, 'WHEN YOU'RE 65, AND YOUR LOOKS HAVE GONE, ALL ANYONE WANTS IS A HALF-DECENT CHARADES PARTNER.' SO AS WE'VE SEEN TONIGHT, JUSTICE RARELY MOVES QUICKLY AND IN DAVID BAIN'S CASE ITS GLACIAL. WHAT AMY ADAMS CALLED FOR TODAY HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE. IT'S CALLED THE BINNIE REPORT. THE FACT JUDITH COLLINS DIDN'T LIKE IT DOESN'T MATTER. THERE IS NOTHING NEW TO BE GAINED BY YET ANOTHER REPORT LOOKING AT EXACTLY THE SAME THING. YOU CAN SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE HIRING PEOPLE TO WRITE REPORTS, SOME WILL RECOMMEND BAIN GET COMPENSATION, SOME WON'T. UNLESS THEY'RE SUGGESTING SIMON POWER IN HIRING JUSTICE BINNIE JACKED IT UP, THEY HAVE ALL THEY NEED TO KNOW, AND GIVEN THIS IS A POLITICAL DECISION NOT A LEGAL ONE, YOU CAN ONLY CONCLUDE THAT THIS LATEST EPISODE IS DESIGNED TO FIND SOMEONE TO GIVE THEM THE ANSWER THEY REALLY WANT, WHICH IS TO NOT COMPENSATE. AND THAT IS WRONG BECAUSE HERE IS THE SIMPLE INDISPUTABLE TRUTH. HE SPENT 13 YEARS IN JAIL FOR SOMETHING THEY EVENTUALLY FOUND HIM NOT GUILTY OF. YOU DON'T TAKE THAT MUCH TIME OFF A PERSON WITHOUT TRYING TO MAKE IT RIGHT. FORGET THE POLITICS AND THE BLUSTER, IT'S SIMPLY THE RIGHT THING TO DO. CAPTIONS BY PIPPA JEFFERIES AND ANTONY VLUG.
