KIA ORA, WELCOME TO THE PROGRAMME. TONIGHT, A YOUNG WOMAN WHOSE PASSPORT PHOTO WAS OF A MAN. SO THEY LOCKED HER UP, AND NOW SHE FEARS FOR HER FUTURE HERE IN NZ. I JUST WANT TO BE RECOGNISED FOR WHO I AM. BUT FIRST UP TONIGHT, A STORY WHICH INVOLVES ANONYMOUS PHONE CALLS, A BULLET IN THE MAIL, A SECRET DUMP SITE AND NOW SOME SURPRISING TEST RESULTS. THIS IS A STORY WHICH IS FILLED WITH SUSPICION AND INTRIGUE, AND JENDY HARPER HAS BEEN GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF IT. FOR DECADES THEY'VE DIPPED THEIR LINES, DANGLED THEIR LURES, SIMPLY ENJOYED THE RIVER. IF YOU WANTED TO HAVE A DRINK, YOU WOULD DRINK OUT OF THE RIVER. TEMUKA'S FORMER PHARMACIST, ALLAN CAMPBELL. FOUR DECADES A BUTCHER, BARRY STONE. AND RAY BROKENSHIRE, COMMUNITY MAN. WE'D JUST GO OVER TO THE RIVER HERE ` FIVE MINUTES WALK ` AND CATCH TEN TROUT AND BACK IN HALF AN HOUR. BUT THE TALE THEY TELL TODAY IS OF THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY. NOT THE FISH, BUT THE RIVER ITSELF. WE'RE ANGRY RATEPAYERS THAT AREN'T GETTING WHAT'S BETTER FOR OUR RIVERS. ANGRY RATEPAYERS. WHAT IS GOING ON IS APPALLING. IT'S A TALE OF SECRETS SHARED, AND OF THREATS DELIVERED. I TOOK IT TO THE POLICE WHO INFORMED ME IT WAS THE KIND OF AMMUNITION THAT WOULD TAKE YOUR HEAD OFF AT 400M. THESE SMALL TOWN ECO-WARRIORS, MEMBERS OF OCEPS ` THE OPIHI CATCHMENT AND ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION SOCIETY ` WON'T ABANDON THEIR BELIEF THAT THIS WATERWAY HAS TURNED TOXIC. I WOULDN'T DRINK OUT OF THIS SHITHOLE, NO. SORRY, BUT THAT'S WHAT IT IS. THE WATER COMES FROM LAKE OPUHA. MAN-MADE AND FARMER-OWNED, THIS IRRIGATION STORAGE DAM IS FILLING UP NOW. IT RAN DRY FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS SUMMER, AND ITS CRACKED AND BROKEN BED THREW UP SOME DIRTY SECRETS. THERE'S A BOTTLE OF` AJAX BY THE LOOK OF IT. IRON ROPE. JUST A TOTAL DISGRACE TO BE IN THE BED OF A LAKE. CLEANS AND POLISHES. DIDN'T POLISH THE LAKE VERY WELL. BUT AJAX AND JANOLA AREN'T THE ISSUE HERE. WHISPERS THAT SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS, MORE SINISTER IS BURIED BENEATH, HAVE DOGGED THE DAM FOR YEARS. IN 2011, A FORMER LABOURER TURNED WHISTLE-BLOWER CLAIMED THAT DURING CONSTRUCTION, DRUMS OF BANNED AGRICHEMICALS WERE DUMPED HERE. THE AUTHOR OF THIS AFFIDAVIT IS NOW ELDERLY, FRAIL AND IN POOR HEALTH. HIS FAMILY WAS RELUCTANT TO GRANT ME ACCESS, BUT I DID SPEAK TO HIM OVER THE PHONE, AND HE TOLD ME, QUITE FIRMLY, THAT HE STANDS BY HIS STATEMENT. HE SAID HE WAS TOLD TO FORGET WHAT HE'D SEEN, AND THE DRUMS WERE BURIED. UP UNTIL IT WAS BANNED IN 1989, DDT WAS A WIDELY-USED INSECTICIDE. MANY FARMERS, AND OTHERS, WERE LEFT WITH AMPLE STOCKS IN THEIR POSSESSION. ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMIST GRANT NORTHOLT SPECIALISES IN ORGANIC CONTAMINANTS. HIGH RESIDUES OF DDT HAS BEEN LINKED TO INCREASED INCIDENCES OF BREAST CANCER AND OBESITY AND THE INCIDENCE OF DIABETES. CANTERBURY'S REGIONAL COUNCIL, ENVIRONMENT CANTERBURY, FOLLOWED UP ON THE WHISTLE-BLOWER'S CLAIM BY TESTING WATER, SEDIMENTS AND FISH FROM LAKE OPUHA. IT FOUND NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. SO NOTHING TO SEE HERE. WELL, NOT ACCORDING TO OUR THREE CAMPAIGNERS. THEY CLAIM THE SCIENTISTS WERE LOOKING IN THE WRONG PLACE. RAY, ALLAN AND BARRY NOW SAY THEY KNOW WHERE THE CHEMICALS WERE ALLEGEDLY DUMPED ` THEY HAVE THE GPS CO-ORDINATES. WHERE DID YOU OBTAIN THIS MAP? I RECEIVE A PHONE CALL FROM A WITHHELD NUMBER. HE SAID TO ME, 'I HAVE CONFIRMATION OF WHERE THAT DUMP SITE IS. 'HAVE A LOOK IN YOUR MAILBOX IN TWO HOURS' TIME YOU'LL HAVE ALL THE CONFIRMATION YOU WANT. 'THERE'LL BE GPS MARKING EVERYTHING TO GET TO IT.' I STILL DON'T KNOW WHO HE WAS. SO WITH MAP IN HAND, THEY MET UP AT THE DRY LAKE WITH AN ENVIRONMENT CANTERBURY, ECAN EMPLOYEE, TO WALK THROUGH THE MARKED LOCATIONS. THE DECISION WAS MADE TO SEND IN A GROUND PENETRATING RADAR. THE MEN SAY THEY WERE TOLD THEY'D BE INVOLVED, BUT IT WENT AHEAD WITHOUT THEM. AGAIN, NOTHING WAS FOUND. DID YOU ACTUALLY DIG DOWN AND TAKE SEDIMENTS TO BE SAMPLED? SEDIMENT SAMPLES WERE TAKEN IN 2011, NOT WHEN WE WERE DOING THE UNDERGROUND RADAR BECAUSE THAT WAS WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO FIND THE LOCATION OF A DUMP. YOU CAN SMELL THAT SMELL, CAN'T YA? FRUSTRATED THAT NOT A SINGLE SOD HAD BEEN TURNED OR TESTED, ALLAN, RAY AND BARRY DECIDED TO DIG THEMSELVES. DIG FOR BURIED TRACES OF PESTICIDES AND INSECTICIDES. THEY TOOK THEIR JARS OF MUD TO A SOUTH CANTERBURY SCIENTIST. WE HAVE FOUND DDT. IT'S METABOLITES, CHLORO-PESTICIDES. NOW FIRMLY IN THE OCEPS CAMP, NICK WALL IS AN INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMIST WITH WHAT HE REGARDS AS A STATE-OF-THE-ART TESTING KIT. HPLC, WHICH IS HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY, WITH TANDEM MASS SPECTROMETRY. BUT HE WON'T SHOW IT TO US. FOLLOWING THREATS, INCLUDING THIS GRAFFITI ATTACK ON HIS PROPERTY, NICK WALL DOES NOT WANT TO DIVULGE TO ANYONE HIS SECRET LABORATORY LOCATION. I WILL STAND BY THE SCIENCE, AND I'M QUITE PREPARED TO HAVE IT PEER REVIEWED BY ANYBODY. THEY CAN COME DOWN AND THEY CAN SEE THE RESULTS. SEDIMENT SAMPLES FROM THE LAKE BED WERE SENT TO LABORATORIES HERE AND OVERSEAS. WE ASKED OUR EXPERT TO REVIEW THE RESULTS. THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATIONS I'VE SEEN IN FRESHWATER OR MARINE SEDIMENT IN NZ. AND ENVIRONMENT CANTERBURY'S REACTION? THEY'RE STAGGERING. THEY'RE VERY VERY HIGH. SO WHAT DO THESE FIGURES MEAN? HOW MUCH DDT IS TOO MUCH? IF YOU LIVE IN SUBURBIA, PROPOSED SOIL CONTAMINANT GUIDELINES STATE LEVELS CAN'T EXCEED 70 PARTS PER MILLION. IN PLAYING FIELDS AND PARKS, 400 PARTS PER MILLION. BUT WHAT THEY CLAIM TO HAVE FOUND AT LAKE OPUHA FAR EXCEEDS ANY SAFE LIMITS. THE DDT CONCENTRATIONS ACROSS ALL LABORATORIES, AVERAGE AS HIGH AS 6000 PARTS PER MILLION. SO IF THESE RESULTS RING TRUE, HOW SAFE IS THIS VAST BODY OF WATER, AND THE WATER THAT LEAVES HERE? AND WATER DRAWN DOWNSTREAM, FROM RIVER AQUIFERS TO SUPPLY THE PEOPLE OF TIMARU? I'M VERY VERY PLEASED THE TIMARU DISTRICT COUNCIL MOVED VERY RAPIDLY TO SAMPLE THEIR WATER SUPPLY. I'M SATISFIED AT THIS STAGE THAT IT HAS NO RISK AT ALL. IF YOU TEST WATER, YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO FIND IT. TEST THE SEDIMENT, YOU WILL FIND IT. AND SO IF YOU HAVE FLOOD EVENTS WHICH BRING SEDIMENT DOWN THE RIVER CHANCES ARE YOU'RE BRINGING THESE CHLORO-CHEMICALS DOWN THE RIVER WITH YOU. HE CLAIMS HIS SOIL SAMPLING DOWNSTREAM SHOWS THAT'S ALREADY HAPPENED. WHAT IS THE LONG TERM EFFECT ON OUR HEALTH, OUR IMMUNE SYSTEMS? NOBODY KNOWS. NOW THAT'S MR CAMPBELL'S GOT SOME RESULTS, I'M CONFIDENT THAT WE'RE GOING TO MOVE REALLY FAST AND HARD TO WORK WITH THEM TO FIND OUT JUST REAL THIS RISK IS. YOU WILL INVOLVE OCEPS IN THE PROCESS EVERY STEP OF THIS PROCESS? COULD NOT DO IT ANY OTHER WAY. RIGHT NOW, NEITHER PARTY HAS FAITH IN THE OTHER'S INTEGRITY. ECAN HAS CAST DOUBT ON THE SAMPLING PROCESS. THE MEN ARE ADAMANT THEY'VE DONE IT ALL BY THE BOOK. AND THEY'D LIKE TO KNOW WHY THIS RUBBISH TIP WE FILMED WAS NOT CLEANED UP AS ECAN PROMISED. ALL OF THIS WILL GO BACK INTO THE WATER. LOTS OF PROMISES BROKEN HERE. AND THEN THERE'S THOSE DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY ALLEGATIONS OF BURIED TOXIC WASTE ` THE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO NEED THIS DAM TO DRAW A LIVELIHOOD. TENSIONS ARE SPILLING OVER. AND BASICALLY TOLD ME, 'YOU BUGGERS BETTER NOT FIND ANYTHING, 'BECAUSE THERE WILL BE A LOT OF RAMIFICATIONS FROM THAT.' WHAT'S THE MOST SERIOUS THREAT YOU'VE RECEIVED? RECEIVING A LIVE BULLET THROUGH THE POST SAYING THE NEXT ONE'S FOR YOU. RAY HAS BEEN ADVISED NOT TO GO FISHING IN THE BACK COUNTRY ALONE, AND BARRY WAS ALSO WARNED OFF AFTER HE PRESENTED AT A PUBLIC MEETING. I KNOW NOTHING, AND THAT'S VERY UNFORTUNATE IF IT'S THAT, BUT I GUESS THAT JUST REFLECTS THE IMPORTANCE, I GUESS, THAT THIS IS SEEN WITHIN THE REGION. BUT ANY BEHAVIOUR LIKE THAT IS TOTALLY UNWARRANTED. THE DAM COMPANY, THE SELF-PROCLAIMED RIVER GUARDIANS, THE REGULATORY AUTHORITY, WHAT EVERYONE IS IN AGREEMENT ON IS THAT 17 YEARS OF SIMMERING DISCONTENT OVER WHAT MIGHT LIE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS LAKE, MUST BE PUT TO BED ONCE AND FOR ALL. IT'S EXPENSIVE, IT'S TIME CONSUMING, BUT WITH DDT IT'S NECESSARY. THERE'S A REAL RISK HERE, AND WE ACCEPT THAT. I'M SURE THE PROBLEM CAN BE SOLVED. WE WOULD LIKE IT TO BE SOLVED SO THAT THE HEALTH OF OUR KIDS, GRANDKIDS, FUTURE GENERATIONS CAN BE ASSURED. YEAH, OK. WELL, IN THE LAST WEEK THE ACTIVISTS FROM OCEPS HAVE FINALLY HANDED OVER THE GPS CO-ORDINATES OF WHERE THEY TOOK THOSE SAMPLES AND WHERE THEY GOT THOSE QUITE REMARKABLE DDT READINGS, SO NOW IT'S UP TO ENVIRONMENT CANTERBURY TO DO ITS OWN TESTS. YEAH, IT'S NOT QUITE AS STRAIGHTFORWARD AS IT SOUNDS. IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE, BECAUSE THESE SITES ARE NOW SEVERAL METRES UNDERWATER, SO IT'S DIFFICULT. OK, NEXT UP ` THE WORLD'S FIRST TRANSGENDERED REFUGEE. NZ WAS THE ONLY COUNTRY WHO WOULD TAKE HER IN. IT WAS, LIKE, OH MY GOD. CAN'T BELIEVE IT. SO WHY WOULD WE KICK HER OUT? OK, THIS IS A STORY ABOUT ELIANA RUBASKYN ` A YOUNG WOMAN WHO WAS WELCOMED INTO NZ WHEN NO ONE ELSE WOULD TAKE HER. SHE'D BEEN IN CUSTODY OVERSEAS BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING DODGY WITH HER PASSPORT. HER PHOTO WASN'T OF A PRETTY YOUNG WOMAN. IT ACTUALLY SHOWED A BEARDED MAN. BUT THE THING IS HER PASSPORT WAS FINE, IT'S JUST THAT HER APPEARANCE HAD CHANGED. SO, AS PHIL VINE WILL TELL YOU, SHE'S NOW SETTLED IN AUCKLAND. SHE'S PRETTY HAPPY, EXCEPT FOR ONE BIG PROBLEM. RAISED AS A BOY, ELIANA HAD ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A WOMAN, SO BEAUTIFUL. BUT THE VERY MOMENT IT HAPPENED SHE CEASED TO EXIST. STOPPED AT THE AIRPORT, ARRESTED AND DETAINED. THEY TOUCHED MY BODY LIKE A TOY. THIS RESPECTED PHARMACIST WAS TURNED INTO A STATELESS REFUGEE. I LOST MY RIGHT TO EXIST. ALL BECAUSE SHE LOOKED LIKE A WOMAN, AND HER PASSPORT SAID SHE WAS A MAN. IT COST HER DEARLY. SO MANY THINGS ` MY PAST, MY CULTURE, MAY FAMILY. MY BELONGINGS, MY MEMORIES. WAS IT WORTH SACRIFICING ALL OF THOSE THINGS TO LOOK LIKE A WOMAN? I DON'T WANT TO LOOK LIKE A WOMAN, I AM A WOMAN. AND I JUST SACRIFICED ALL OF THOSE THINGS TO ACCEPT WHO I AM. NOW FINALLY IN NZ I'M JUST HAVING THE LIFE I ALWAYS WANTED TO HAVE SINCE I WAS 6 YEARS OLD. ELIANA GREW UP IN COLUMBIA, SPENDING HER CHILDHOOD AND ADULTHOOD AS A MALE. IN HER HOMETOWN, BOGOTA, RIGHT WING MILITIAS OPENLY ATTACK TRANSGENDERED PEOPLE IN THE STREETS. IT'S A VERY UNSAFE PLACE FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME. IT'S VERY UNSAFE. THREE YEARS AGO THE HIGH-FLYING PHARMACIST GOT A SCHOLARSHIP TO STUDY FOR AN MBA AT TAIWAN UNIVERSITY. FINDING AT A FAR MORE ACCEPTING SOCIETY THERE, SHE EMBARKED ON A COURSE OF HORMONE MODULATION. IT WAS THEN ELIANA DISCOVERED THAT ACTUALLY SHE WAS INTERSEX ` WITH BOTH MALE AND FEMALE CHROMOSOMES, SO THE HORMONES HAD A DRAMATIC EFFECT ON HER. THE STRUCTURE OF MY EYE CHANGED SO MUCH, EVEN THE EYEBROW, MY NOSE, MY CHEEKS, AND THE SHAPE OF MY FACE GET THINNER. AND ALL THIS KIND OF CHANGE THAT ARE ONLY POSSIBLE THROUGH SURGERY HAPPENED TO ME NATURALLY. THE CHANGE WAS VERY DRAMATIC, TO THE POINT NOW THAT IF I'M WALKING IN THE STREET, I SEE MY MUM FACE TO FACE, SHE WILL NOT KNOW WHO I AM. A TRANSFORMATION SO RADICAL, THE UNIVERSITY SAID SHE MUST UPDATE HER ID. ELIANA FLEW 90 MINUTES FROM TAIWAN TO THE NEAREST CONSULATE IN HONG KONG, SHOWING CUSTOMS A PASSPORT WITH THIS PHOTO ` HER OLD SELF, COMPLETE WITH BEARD. THE GUY ATTENDING ME, HE WAS THINKING I WAS JOKING, AND ASKED IF THIS WAS MY PASSPORT. I TOLD HIM YES, AND SAID SORRY IF I LOOK DIFFERENT. IM IN PROCESS OF CHANGING SOCIAL GENDER TO A FEMALE. HE DIDN'T BELIEVE HER, CALLED A SUPERVISOR, WHO TOOK HER TO AN INTERVIEW ROOM. SHE TOLD THEM ` IM A GENUINE PERSON. YOU CAN CHECK MY FINGERTIPS. THESE ONE NEVER CHANGED. MY SIGNATURE, WHATEVER. I AM THE PERSON IN THIS PASSPORT. THEY ARRESTED AND DETAINED HER. AND THEN THEY STARTED TO DO A BODY SEARCH, AND AFTER NINE HOURS THERE FULLY NAKED IN FRONT OF TWO GUYS, OFFICERS, THEY WERE VERY NASTY WITH ME. I WAS ASKING THEM, 'I AM A WOMAN. PLEASE RESPECT.' AND THEN... NOTHING GOOD HAPPENED AFTER THAT. DID THEY ASSAULT YOU? PHYSICALLY? SEXUALLY? I'M SORRY. POLICE DENY MISTREATMENT. THEY TOOK HER PASSPORT. SHE WAS STRANDED IN HONG KONG. I LOST EVERYTHING, BUT AT LEAST MY DIGNITY STAYED WITH ME, AND THAT'S` I AM WHO I AM. ELIANA MOVED FROM ONE SHELTER TO ANOTHER. SHE SLEPT IN HIV TESTING ROOMS, EVEN A SHIPPING CONTAINER ` STUCK THERE FOR NINE MONTHS. HER GENDER HAD RENDERED HER STATELESS. DID YOU BRING ANY OF THIS UPON YOURSELF BY DEMANDING TO BE ACCEPTED AS A WOMAN? NO. I THINK WHAT HAPPENED IN HONG KONG WAS BECAUSE MY PASSPORT SAYS MALE, AND I WAS A FEMALE. SO IF THEY GIVE ME A PASSPORT AGAIN WITH THE SAME CONDITIONS, I WILL FACE THE SAME CONDITIONS AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. EVENTUALLY THE UN GRANTED HER REFUGEE STATUS ` THE WORLD'S FIRST TRANS WOMAN TO BE RECOGNISED AS A FEMALE UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW, AND NZ INVITED HER IN. IT WAS LIKE, OH MY GOD. I CANT BELIEVE IT. I CANT BELIEVE IT. THAT WAS LAST MAY. SINCE THEN ELIANA'S GOT A JOB AND LIVES WITH HER SWEETHEART ` ISRAELI WELDER ITAMAR. THEY EEK OUT A MODEST EXISTENCE, TAKING PLEASURE IN JUST BEING. I FEEL VERY HAPPY, BECAUSE NZ NEVER HAS DISAPPOINTED ME. IN A WAY` IT'S NOT A PERFECT COUNTRY, BUT IT'S A COUNTRY THAT HAS ALLOWED ME TO EXIST. BUT JUST WHEN ELIANA FOUND A NATION AND A MAN THAT WOULD ACCEPT HER, IT LOOKS AS IF THEY MIGHT BE FORCED TO LEAVE. UPBEAT MUSIC Hi. Here's a great recipe, and it only needs three ingredients. With just these right here, you can make delicious peanut butter cookies. It's the same with having a warm, comfortable, healthy home. There are three ingredients ` insulation, ventilation and heating. The first ingredient is insulation to trap heat in. Insulate ceilings, walls and floors and stop draughts. The next ingredient, ventilation, is important keep air fresh and dry. Use externally vented fans to remove moisture from kitchens, bathrooms and laundries. Here's a tip ` the simplest way to ventilate is to open your doors and windows for just a few minutes each day. Our third ingredient ` heating. Efficient heaters use less energy, so it will cost you less to keep your home warm. Combining the three ingredients of insulation, ventilation and heating together is a recipe for warmer, drier, healthier homes, and that's better for all of us. IT'S AMAZING, REALLY THAT THESE TWO NEWCOMERS TO NZ EVER FOUND EACH OTHER. SHE'S A TRANSGENDERED WOMAN FROM COLOMBIA, HE'S AN ISRAELI BOY. THEY MET ON THE INTERNET WHILE ELIANA WAS STATELESS AND LIVING IN A SHIPPING CONTAINER IN HONG KONG. THE CONNECTION WAS SO BEAUTIFUL ` JUST TALKING TALKING AND TALKING ALL THE TIME, AND IT WAS IN NOVEMBER LAST YEAR THAT HE DECIDED TO MARRY ME. HE SAY, 'ELIANA YOU ARE THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS. IGNORING THE CONCERNS OF HIS ORTHODOX PARENTS, ITAMAR SENT HER A RING AND FLEW TO AUCKLAND. WHAT WAS IT LIKE MEETING HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME? I TRIED TO DRESS BEAUTIFUL ` FEMININE, HIGH HEELS, BEAUTIFUL DRESS` ONE MONTH AFTER ITAMAR ARRIVED IN NZ THEY HAD A REGISTRY WEDDING, BUT UNTIL NOW HE'S NEVER SEEN WHAT HIS WIFE LOOKED LIKE AS A MAN. ELIANA PLUCKS UP THE COURAGE TO SHOW HIM, BRINGING OUT THE ID PHOTO THAT TURNED HER INTO A REFUGEE. SO THIS IS THE ONE WHEN I STARTED TO STUDY IN THE TAIPEI MEDICAL UNIVERSITY. YOU WANT TO SEE IT, ITAMAR? YES. OK. OH MY GOD. YOU WERE WORRIED ABOUT HIM SEEING IT? BECAUSE HE SEES ME AS A WOMAN, AND I THINK HE WILL BE SHOCKED THAT I WAS LOOKING SO MANLY BEFORE. THAT'S LOVELY. WHAT A NICE MAN! BUT LAST WEEK WE WERE ON THE VERGE OF THROWING THIS NICE MAN OUT OF THE COUNTRY. HE'D APPLIED TO IMMIGRATION FOR RESIDENCY BASED ON HIS MARRIAGE TO ELIANA. THEY DON'T BELIEVE OUR RELATION IS GENUINE OR LIKELY TO ENDURE. TUESDAY, AND ELIANA AND ITAMAR ARE SUMMONED FOR IMMIGRATION INTERVIEWS. SO HOW DID IT GO? AND THAT'S SERIOUS FOR THEM. WITHOUT A PASSPORT, ELIANA'S UNABLE TO LIVE IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY OTHER THAN NZ. THAT AFTERNOON WE ASK IMMIGRATION FOR AN INTERVIEW. COINCIDENCE OR NOT, THE NEXT MORNING THERE'S SOME GOOD NEWS. ITAMAR HAS GOT A 12 MONTH VISA. I WAS SO AMAZED BECAUSE I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE TIMING. A FEW MINUTES AGO SHE WAS TELLING US THAT HE PROBABLY WOULD NOT GET HIS VISA. WERE YOU SURPRISED? WITH THAT IMMIGRATION SITUATION STABLE FOR A YEAR AT LEAST, IT MEANS ELIANA CAN PURSUE SOME LONGER-TERM DREAMS ` LIKE BEING A PHARMACIST AGAIN, AND GETTING A KIWI PASSPORT. I JUST WANT TO BE RECOGNISED FOR WHO I AM. AND WHAT IS THE MEANING OF BEING RECOGNISED FOR WHO I AM? I WANT TO HAVE CITIZENSHIP... BECAUSE THERE IS` THERE IS NOTHING LIKE BEING STATELESS. NOBODY CAN EVEN IMAGINE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO BELONG SOMEWHERE. WELL, ELIANA HOPES TO HAVE SEX CORRECTION SURGERY SOON. THE PROBLEM IS, THOUGH, NZ'S ONLY GENDER REASSIGNMENT SURGEON HAS JUST RETIRED, SO SHE'S GOING TO HAVE TO TRAVEL OVERSEAS FOR THE OPERATION ` IF, OF COURSE, SHE CAN RAISE THE MONEY. THEY ALSO HOPE TO HAVE A BABY ONE DAY. ELIANA HAS AN OVARY AND A UTERUS, SO THERE'S ACTUALLY NO REASON WHY NOT. OK, THAT'S ALL FROM US THIS WEEK. WE'LL BE BACK NEXT SUNDAY. WE'LL SEE YOU THEN. THANKS FOR WATCHING. THE INTELLIGENT CHOICE FOR YOU AND YOUR HOME ` FUJITSU HEAT PUMPS, PROUD TO HAVE BROUGHT YOU TONIGHT'S 3D. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR.
