Toni got pranked! I do not know why never learn because it often happens to me. But I did not think the Chief Executive would stoop to that level. TONIGHT ` I ASKED OUR MAN HIS ADDRESS, AND HE TOLD ME 1251... (CHUCKLES) HOLY COW ROAD. WE COULD ONLY BE IN AMERICA. EVERY TIME I SAY THAT ADDRESS TO SOMEBODY, THEY'LL SAY, 'WHAT?' PLUS ` HOW A SMALL ACT... WANT A FREE HAIRCUT, BRO? I'LL HOOK YOU UP. ...CAN DO A WHOLE LOT OF GOOD. YOU SEE THE SMILES ON THEIR FACES. AND IT'S STREETIE'S BIRTHDAY TODAY, WHICH MEANS PRANK TIME BIG TIME, AND WE'VE PULLED IN TVNZ'S CEO TO HELP US OUT. WHAT SORT OF CEO ARE YOU? WHY ARE YOU NOT BACKING ME? DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF SEVEN SHARP, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. That was when I knew I had been Pranked, and that was after its and we were having a funny moment. You ruined my 33rd birthday. ARe you claiming 33? LOok at the card he gave me. I will read it to you later. FIRST, THOUGH, SOMETHING THAT CAUGHT OUR EYE TODAY. A BUNCH OF WHANGANUI RESIDENTS ARE ROPEABLE AFTER FINDING ANTI-ISLAMIC PAMPHLETS IN THEIR LETTERBOXES. WE DON'T NEED TO GO INTO DETAIL; IT'S THE SORT OF BOLLOCKS YOU'D EXPECT ` 'MUSLIM REFUGEES ARE BACKWARD, BARBARIC 'AND WANT TO KILL US ALL.' YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE WHO'VE RISKED THEIR LIVES FLEEING THE DEADLIEST CIVIL WAR ON THE PLANET ARE ALL APPARENTLY HELL BENT ON KILLING US. NOW, IN AUSTRALIA ANTI-MUSLIM SENTIMENT IS A SERIOUS CONCERN, THANKS TO A SIMILAR SERIES OF MORONS LIKE THESE GUYS AND THIS WOMAN. WE HAVE TO TAKE A STRONG STANCE AGAINST MUSLIMS. IT'S NOWHERE NEAR THAT BAD HERE, SO YOU'VE GOT TO WONDER, WHERE DOES THIS STUFF COME FROM? JEHAN CASINADER: VAUGHN TOCKER, THE LEADER OF THE RIGHT-WING RESISTANCE. AROUND TOWN, HE DROPS OFF PAMPHLETS. YOU MIGHT REMEMBER VAUGHN AND HIS MERRY BAND OF WHITE SUPREMACISTS. NO SURPRISES ` THEY'RE BEHIND THE WHANGANUI MAIL DROP. ARE YOU RACIST? I WOULDN'T CALL MYSELF RACIST. BECAUSE YOU SOUND RACIST. WE MET VAUGHN LAST YEAR IN MASTERTON, BUT TODAY THEIR WHANGANUI CHAPTER WERE IN HIDING. THE LOCAL MULTICULTURAL COUNCIL CALLED THEM GUTLESS. AND, OF COURSE, THEY'RE RIGHT. THESE CLOWNS ARE COWARDS. THEY HIDE BEHIND FREE SPEECH TO PEDDLE HATE SPEECH, AND BECAUSE THE LAW ALLOWS IT, THEY'LL KEEP DOING IT. SO I AM HOPING, ASSUMING, WE ALL SEE THIS FOR WHAT IT IS, AND IF ONE OF THESE THINGS ENDS UP IN YOUR LETTER BOX, GO AHEAD, MAKE A FUSS, BUT I'VE ALWAYS OPERATED ON THE PREMISE THAT LIFE IS SHORT AND YOU GIVE PEOPLE AND ISSUES THE WEIGHT THEY DESERVE, WHICH, OF COURSE, HERE IS NONE. IT reminds me of the story that was done on that group. We still have it on demand somewhere. It deserves a watch. THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING. SURELY THERE'S NO GREATER WAY OF OVERCOMING ADVERSITY. CASE IN POINT IS QUADRIPLEGIC BRAD SMEELE, WHO WE HAD ON THE SHOW ON MONDAY. BUT WHILE TRAVELLING WITH BRAD IN FLORIDA, MICHAEL HOLLAND CAME UPON ANOTHER KIWI EXTREME SPORTSMAN WITH A SIMILAR ATTITUDE AND A RECOVERY FROM A POTENTIALLY LIFE-CHANGING INJURY TO MATCH. COUNTRY MUSIC I ASKED OUR MAN HIS ADDRESS AND HE TOLD ME, '1251 HOLY COW RD' HOLY COW ROAD. WE COULD ONLY BE IN AMERICA HOLY COW, BATMAN? HOLY COW, BATMAN. AND WHAT DO WE FIND DOWN SAID HOLY COW? WATER SKIING, OF COURSE. AT THE HELM HERE ON THE RURAL FRINGE OF ORLANDO, FORMER AUCKLANDER KYLE EADE, A WORLD-RANKED PRO JUMPER UNTIL BREAKING HIS NECK IN ASHBURTON CANTERBURY SIX YEARS AGO. FOURTH AND FIFTH VERTEBRAE DOWN FROM THE SKULL. THE PROGNOSIS WAS UNKNOWN. HIS SPINAL CHORD INJURY POTENTIALLY AS DEVASTATING AS THAT SUFFERED BY KIWI WAKEBOARDER BRAD SMEELE WHO WE TEAMED UP WITH IN FLORIDA EARLIER THIS WEEK. BUT IN THIS MEDICAL REALM WHERE FRACTIONS CAN BE CRUCIAL, KYLE IS NOW BACK IN THE SPORT HE LOVES. THIS IS MY LIFE, SKIING. I THINK IT HAS BEEN A SAVIOUR TO BE ABLE TO STAY INVOLVED WITH IT. THE FATHER OF TWO IS NOW INTEGRAL TO THE NURTURING OF OUR UP AND COMING TALENT, AS THEY STOP OVER IN THESE WARMER CLIMES ON THEIR WAY TO INTERNATIONAL EVENTS. IT WASN'T ALL PERFECT, BUT YOU'VE GOT TO GET SET OUT OF YOUR TURN BETTER. SO, HE KNOWS HIS STUFF? OH, YEAH. HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST SKIERS IN THE WORLD, ESPECIALLY FOR JUMP. WHAT HE'S BEEN THROUGH IS PRETTY INSANE AND HE'S SO POSITIVE AND SUCH A GOOD COACH. A FUTURE THAT SEEMED REMOTE, AT BEST, AS HE LAY IN THE BURWOOD SPINAL UNIT IN CHRISTCHURCH, WITH DOCTORS LOATHE TO COMMIT TO THE EXTENT OF HIS RECOVERY. I STARTED TO GETTING A LITTLE BIT OF TOE FLICKER, THE LEG MOVEMENT. WHEN I KNEW I HAD SOME MOVEMENT GOING ON DOWN THERE I THOUGHT, 'HEY, THAT'S A START, THAT CAN GET STRONGER.' AND THAT KEPT ME POSITIVE, KEPT ME GOING. INTENSIVE REHAB FOLLOWED BOTH IN CANTERBURY AND THE U.S, WITH KYLE NOW CLASSIFIED AS AN INCOMPLETE QUADRIPLEGIC, WHICH MEANS HE HAS SOME LIMITATION IN THE MOVEMENT OF BOTH HIS ARMS AND LEGS. MIRACULOUS? YEAH, SOME SAY SO. UNFORTUNATELY, WITH SPINAL CORD INJURIES, YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW. EVERY INJURY IS SO DIFFERENT. I'M VERY FORTUNATE WITH THE RECOVERY I HAVE HAD. I HAVE WORKED HARD AT IT. I SOMETIMES DON'T KNOW HOW HE DOES IT, TO GET OUT THERE EVERYDAY TO WATCH US SKIING WHEN HE CAN'T SKI, THAT MUST BE PRETTY HARD FOR HIM AND SHOWS HOW MUCH HE LOVES THE SPORT. ALTHOUGH THE MAN HIMSELF HAS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE 'NO MORE SKIING' LINE. I HAVE BEEN ON THE SKIS, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN BUT I CAN GET UP ON TWO SKIS OR ON A TRICK SKI AND DO A FEW TRICKS HERE AND THERE. IT'S NOT THE PRETTIEST, IT'S NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE. I JUST WANTED TO TICK THAT BOX OFF AND SAY, 'YEAH.' FOR THESE YOUNG KIWIS ON THEIR WAY TO THE WORLD UNIVERSITY SKIING CHAMPS IN JAPAN, THOUGH, THEY'RE TICKING A DIFFERENT SORT OF BOX FOR STAYING UPRIGHT. WE JUST SAW A GATOR. SOMETIMES YOU CAN SEE THE EYES POP UP, THEN THEY GO BACK UNDER AND YOU CAN'T SEE THEM. JUST CONFIRM FOR ME THERE ARE NO GATORS IN THIS LAKE? CONFIRM FOR YOU... I'M NOT SURE IF I CAN DO THAT. I DON'T WANT TO FALL OFF, WHICH IS PROBABLY A GOOD THING, BUT IT'S A BIT DISTRACTING. ON THAT BASIS JUST MAYBE 'HOLY COW ROAD' NEEDS A NEW NAME. The power of positive thinking. I let this week about going back to what ruined it for you. I do not think I would. I would just walk away from it. But imagine if that was just your absolute passion. For You, what if it was wine or cars? WE ALL KNOW THE BENEFITS OF RECYCLING. WE HAVE TO USE EVERY BIT OF MATERIAL THAT WE CAN. BUT DID YOU KNOW IT'S ALSO DOING GOOD THINGS FOR OUR UNEMPLOYMENT RATE? WAKE UP IN THE MORNING, YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING. YOU'RE GETTING UP TO GO TO WORK. TONIGHT WE'RE WITH THE HOODCUTS, GIVING AWAY FREE HAIRCUTS TO THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN THE HAIRDRESSER IN A WHILE, AND YOU SHOULD SEE SOME OF THE BEFORE AND AFTERS. ONE, TWO, THREE. OH BAD. AND BEING PRANKED ON MY BIRTHDAY, IT'S A DREAM COME TRUE. AND BEING PRANKED ON MY BIRTHDAY, IT'S A DREAM COME TRUE. IS THERE ANY TRUTH TO IT? NO, NOT AT ALL. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THESE GUYS. BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT, TIM AND OUR CEO GOT ME GOOD TODAY. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WENT TO THESE EXTREMES. # SHERRY. # SHERRY, BABY. # SHERRY. # SHERRY, BABY. # SHE-E-E-E-RRY, # BA-A-BY. You look very confused. Great camerawork. This is a viewer pick. The viewer tonight is Toni. I get that for my birthday. That is my favourite musical, Jersey boys. He has been mocking me for it all afternoon. It is a great musical. I don't do shows. You have a beautiful night plan tonight. She says that tonight she is going out for dinner and she is going to eat her body weight and raw fish. What a wonderful romantic evening (!) I thought that was in my head but then I said it. You did actually buy me a few gifts. Your wife did. We are team. And then I read is little blurb. 'Birthdays are time to reflect on all the things in your life and all the things you are grateful for.' #WorkingWithMe. WE'VE ALL HEARD THE BENEFITS RECYCLING CAN HAVE ON OUR ENVIRONMENT, RIGHT? BUT HAVE YOU GIVEN MUCH THOUGHT ABOUT THE POSITIVES IT CAN ALSO HAVE ON EMPLOYMENT? WELL, IN LOWER HUTT, THE IMPACT HAS BEEN HUGE, WITH ONE CHARITY USING RECYCLING PROJECTS TO PUT LOCALS STRUGGLING TO GET JOBS BACK TO WORK. HERE'S REBECCA EDWARDS. THAT'S TWO READY TO GO TO BE SEWN. THESE LADIES KNOW A THING OR TWO ABOUT SEWING. THEY ALSO KNOW THE VALUE OF HAVING A JOB. GETS YOU OFF THE DOLE. WAKE UP IN THE MORNING, YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING. YOU'RE GETTING UP TO GO TO WORK. ALL THREE WERE UNEMPLOYED... AT THE TIME, I'D BEEN LOOKING FOR A JOB FOR OVER A YEAR. ...UNTIL WINZ CONNECTED THEM WITH RECYCLING CHARITY EARTHLINK, WHERE THEY NOW TRANSFORM OLD CORPORATE UNIFORMS... THESE COME IN FROM KIWIBANK. ...INTO CUTE,... WE TURN THEM INTO DRESSES. ...AFFORDABLE... THIS ONE HERE'S CALLED AN ENVELOPE TOP. ...CHILDREN'S CLOTHES. WE HAVE TO USE EVERY BIT OF MATERIAL THAT WE CAN. BEFORE I CAME HERE, I WOULD NEVER HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT REMAKING SOMETHING OUT OF SOMETHING I ALREADY HAD. BY REPURPOSING WHAT WOULD OTHERWISE END UP IN OUR LANDFILLS, EARTHLINK'S ALSO PROVIDING TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES TO GET PEOPLE BACK INTO THE WORKFORCE. YEAH, THEY JUST OPEN UP A LOT OF DOORS AND OPTIONS ON HOW TO HELP. SUFFERING MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, ROBERT HAD BEEN UNEMPLOYED FOR NEARLY SEVEN YEARS. THEY MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE STARTING TO ACHIEVE THINGS AGAIN BUT IN, LIKE, SMALL STEPS. IT'S A GOOD JOURNEY TO BE ON. 85% OF THOSE EMPLOYED HERE SUFFER SOME FORM OF HEALTH PROBLEM. AND WHILE ROBERT'S ONLY BEEN HERE A FEW MONTHS, IT'S ALREADY BEEN A POSITIVE STEP. I COULDN'T EVEN THINK OF MYSELF DOING... THIS STUFF A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO BECAUSE OF THE PLACE THAT I WAS IN. THERE'S NOW INTEREST FROM AUSTRALIA TO SELL SOME OF THESE RECYCLED OUTFITS. AND WITH NEW PURPOSE FOR THE CLOTHES, COMES NEW LIFE FOR THOSE MAKING THEM. IT GAVE ME LOTS MORE SELF CONFIDENCE KNOWING THAT I HAD A PLACE TO GO TO AND THINGS TO DO. YEP, IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE A JOB, AND I'M QUITE HAPPY HAVING THIS ONE. Damn straight. You are one of these women... Donever study sentence like that. 33% of women think that a piece of clothing that has been one more than six times as old. A sweatshirt, you wear it more than six times. But a dress, maybe not. Go eat your bodyweight in raw fish. I'm going to be scared to talk about this tomorrow. IT'S A SIMPLE CONCEPT, A SIMPLE GESTURE, THAT THEY HOPE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE'S LIVES. AND THE BEST THING ABOUT IT ` IT'S A GOOD NEWS STORY TO COME IN A WEEK THAT'S SEEN GOVERNMENT ADMIT THE NUMBER OF HOMELESS HAS INCREASED UNDER ITS WATCH. IT TAKES JUST THREE GUYS HITTING THE STREETS OFFERING THOSE LESS FORTUNATE A NEW LOOK. ERIN CONROY CAUGHT UP WITH THE HOODCUTZ. CHAIR. MIRROR. IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH ` GENERATOR. IT WAS JUST A SIMPLE IDEA THAT THE THREE OF US CAME UP WITH. SPRAY BOTTLE. CLIPPERS. YOU SEE THE SMILES ON THEIR FACES. THREE GUYS, THEY'VE KNOWN POVERTY, DRUGS AND GANGS BEFORE, BUT MET AT CHURCH AND FORMED 'HOODCUTZ.' WANNA A FREE HAIR CUT, BRO? I'LL HOOK YOU UP. SWEET, I WOULDN'T MIND A FREE HAIR CUT THERE, BROTHER. YEAH. WHOO-HOO! THEY'RE USING THEIR SKILLS THEY HAVE TODAY ON AUCKLAND'S QUEEN STREET, OFFERING A FREE BARBER EXPERIENCE. WHAT'S LIFE LOOKING LIKE FOR YOU AT THE MOMENT? NOT BAD. JUST TRYING TO GET SOME MONEY TO GET SOME FOOD. WE DON'T KNOW THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT LED THEM TO BE ON THERE, BUT WE JUST WANT TO PUT A SMILE ON THEIR FACE. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WENT TO A HAIRDRESSER? OH, IT'S A WHILE. KEPS IS KEEN FOR A CUT. NUMBER ONE ON THE SIDES, TRIM THE TOP AND FADE THE BACK. NICE. YOU'RE A MAN WHO KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS. (CHUCKLES) O.T. GENASIS FT. YOUNG DOLPH'S 'CUT IT' ONE, TWO THREE. NOT BAD. THAT'S NICE I LIKE THAT. I LIKE THAT. THEY CAN SEE MY SMILE. IT DIDN'T ONLY FEEL LIKE THEY DIDN'T SEEM ME, BUT IT FELT LIKE THEY TRIED NOT TO SEE ME. A RECENT KIWI DOCUMENTARY DELIVERED A POWERFUL MESSAGE ABOUT PEOPLE'S ATTITUDES TO THOSE LIVING ON THE STREETS. I'M LOOKING AT YOU. DO YOU SEE ME? NOT WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND ME, BUT DO YOU SEE ME? EVEN IF IT'S, 'HEY, HOW ARE YOU? HOW'S YOUR DAY? IT DOES SO MUCH FOR PEOPLES PERCEPTIONS OF THEMSELVES, ESPECIALLY. I THINK ACKNOWLEDGEMENT IS THE KEY. THERE ARE PLENTY MORE READY FOR A MAKE OVER. WHAT ARE YOU AFTER TODAY? UH, FADE. JUST IT ALL OFF. ALL OFF? YEAH. YOU'RE A BRAVE MAN, ALL RIGHT. LATEST RESEARCH SAYS THERE ARE MORE THAN 40,000 KIWIS WHO ARE CONSIDERED HOMELESS ON QUEEN ST THE AMOUNT OF HOMELESS PEOPLE YOU CAN FIND LATER ON AT NIGHT IS TREMENDOUS. 26 YEARS, 27 YEARS, NOW, HERE ON THE STREETS OF AUCKLAND. I'VE GOT A FLAT. I'VE BEEN THERE FOR 5 YEARS. I'VE HAVE BEEN HOMELESS. WOULD YOU LIKE TO GET OFF THE STREETS? YEAH. YEAH. TODAY A SIMPLE GESTURE ` OH, NICE! ...THAT CAN MEAN SO MUCH. AWESOME, BROTHERS. AWESOME. THANKS FOR THAT, GUYS. IT MAKES ME FEEL YOUNGER NOW, (CHUCKLES) BETTER. SHARP. WHAT SIGNS DO YOU SEE THAT PEOPLE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE DOING? OH, IT'S GOT TO BE THE SMILE. HAS TO BE THE SMILE. WE USUALLY GET A HUG OR A HIGH FIVE. THAT'S THE BEST REWARD THAT WE CAN GET, YEAH. PRETTY SUAVE, EH? Very suave. The power of a haircut. Their confidence, their demeanour changes. ONE OF THE THINGS WE LOVE ABOUT TONI IS HOW TRUSTING SHE IS. I'M NOT ON DIET PILLS, AND I NEVER ENDORSED DIET PILLS. AND SHE MORE THAN PROVED THIS IN HER BIRTHDAY PRANK. STARTING TO FEEL A BIT HOT AND, LIKE, RASHY. # Happy birthday to you # you were just joshing me. He was pretending to not know what the next song would be. I didn't know it. We love to celebrate birthday occasions with pranks. AND SOMETHING TONI DID ON THIS SHOW EARLIER IN THE WEEK GAVE US THE PERFECT IDEA. NOW, YOU MAY HAVE SEEN MY FACE ALL OVER YOUR FACEBOOK FEEDS ENDORSING A MIRACLE WEIGHT-LOSS CURE. THERE ARE IMAGES OF ME ` STOLEN IMAGES, I MIGHT ADD ` AND MADE-UP SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS THAT MAKE IT LOOK LIKE I'M REALLY INTO WHATEVER THIS STUFF ACTUALLY IS. SO TO BE COMPLETELY CLEAR, THE WHOLE THING IS A FAKE, A COMPLETE AND UTTER SCAM. SO ALTHOUGH ALL OF THAT IS STILL TRUE, TIM WILSON, WITH THE HELP OF OUR CEO KEVIN KENRICK, REALLY HAD ME SWEATING TODAY. IT'S STREETIE'S BIRTHDAY TODAY, WHICH MEANS PRANK TIME BIG TIME, AND WE'VE PULLED IN TVNZ'S CEO TO HELP US OUT. I FEEL REALLY MEAN. (CHUCKLES) SORRY, TONI. HELLO. TONI SPEAKING. HI, TONI. IT'S NATALIE HALL HERE FROM KEVIN KENRICK'S OFFICE. HOW'S IT GOING? OH, HI, NATALIE. HOW ARE YOU? I KNOW THIS IS A BIT SHORT NOTICE, BUT KEVIN WAS WANTING TO CATCH UP WITH YOU THIS AFTERNOON. YEAH, SURE. THAT'S NO WORRIES AT ALL. I'LL BE IN BY THEN EASILY. HEY, LOOK, THIS THING'S COME UP, AND I JUST WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU DIRECTLY. THE DIET... YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. THIS IS FROM THE LAWYERS FROM THE GARCINIA DIET LTD. SO THEY'VE SAID YOU'VE COME OUT AND YOU'VE SAID THESE THINGS, THEY ARE DEFAMATORY. EH? WHAT THEY'RE SAYING IS WE'VE GOT EVIDENCE THAT PROVES THAT TONI HAS RECEIVED MONETARY PAYMENT FOR HER INVOLVEMENT AS AMBASSADOR FOR OUR CLIENT'S BRAND. FOR THE DIET PILLS? I KIND OF WANTED TO HAVE A CHAT WITH YOU TO SAY, 'WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?' I'M NOT ENDORSING PILLS, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ASKING ME. IS THERE ANY TRUTH TO IT? NO, NOT AT ALL. I HAVEN'T HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THESE GUYS. I'M NOT ON DIET PILLS, AND I'VE NEVER ENDORSED DIET PILLS. SORRY TO INTERRUPT. CAN I JUST GRAB YOU FOR TWO SECONDS? OH. ONE MOMENT. SHE'S READING THE LETTER. SO WHAT WAS THE EVIDENCE THAT THEY PRODUCED THAT I SUPPOSEDLY TOOK MONEY FOR DIET PILLS. IT'S SO RIDICULOUS. THAT IS LIKE THE BIGGEST JOKE I HAVE EVER SEEN. APPARENTLY THEY'RE GOING TO RELEASE THIS TO OTHER MEDIA. I JUST CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE THIS. # HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. # HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. # OH MY GOODNESS. I WAS STARTING TO GET REALLY FLUSTERED HERE. HOT AND, LIKE, REALLY RASHY. 'ARE YOU SERIOUS? WHAT SORT OF CEO ARE YOU? 'WHY ARE YOU NOT BACKING ME?' ALL LAUGH THANKS FOR PUTTING ME UNDER STRESS ON MY BIRTHDAY. REALLY NICE OF YOU (!) WOULD YOU LIKE A PIECE OF CAKE? NO! I'M ON A DIET. 'I was getting so hot and rashy.' WHo likes to get called in to the CEO's office? He wanted me to go on the six o'clock news. Was that not a good idea? I guess it was if you are cruel, heartless person. And we have to thank Kevin, who came to the party. He did a good job. I have had several meetings with him in the past and he was exactly the same way. I am writing this down as leverage with our next pay discussion. IT'S NO SECRET WE DO A PRETTY AVERAGE JOB OF KEEPING OUR KIDS SAFE IN THIS COUNTRY. YOU ONLY HAVE TO LOOK AT OUR HORRENDOUS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE STATS TO CONFIRM THAT. BUT TODAY THERE WAS A POSITIVE STEP THAT MIGHT JUST HELP. A REGISTER OF CHILD SEX OFFENDERS WILL NOW BE AVAILABLE TO POLICE, CORRECTIONS, SOCIAL SERVICES AND HOUSING NZ. WHY THIS WASN'T ADOPTED LONG AGO I CAN'T GET MY HEAD AROUND, GIVEN WE KNOW THAT A HIGH NUMBER OF THESE TYPES OF OFFENDERS DO RE-OFFEND. BUT WE'VE GOT IT NOW. IT'S NOT PUBLIC, WHICH I THINK IS PROBABLY THE RIGHT CALL, AS LONG AS THOSE THAT DO HAVE ACCESS ARE VIGILANT. THESE OFFENDERS WILL HAVE TO PROVIDE THEIR PERSONAL INFORMATION, INFORM THE AUTHORITIES IF THEY CHANGE HOUSE OR JOBS, AND EVEN THOSE WITH NAME SUPPRESSION WON'T BE EXEMPT. IT'S THE RIGHT CALL AND IT'S ABOUT TIME. SO, DIDN'T WE SEE IT COMING, EH? LAST NIGHT AT THIS TIME I SAID NZ RUGBY SHOULD HAVE PUT THIS CHIEFS THING TO BED WITH A BIT OF DEFINITIVE LEADERSHIP INSTEAD OF ALL THE OLD BUZZ WORDS ABOUT 'LEARNINGS' AND HOW THEY WONT DO IT AGAIN. THERE WASN'T ENOUGH 'FRONT AND CENTRE' ABOUT IT. AND, SURE ENOUGH, TODAY IT'S GOT POLITICAL WITH THE LABOUR PARTY WEIGHING IN AND CALLING THEM OUT FOR NOT TAKING IT SERIOUSLY ENOUGH, THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSIONER WEIGHED IN AND THEN CAME THE EMBARRASSMENT OF STEVE HANSEN REITERATING THAT, MAD MONDAYS NEED TO END. YET HIS EMPLOYERS DIDN'T DO IT. HOW IS IT HANSEN SEES THE MADNESS, BUT THE UNION DON'T? AND WHO WOULD YOU RATHER BACK WHEN IT COMES TO UNDERSTANDING ELITE ATHLETES AND THE IMAGE OF THE GAME? THE MOST SUCCESSFUL COACH AND MOTIVATOR IN THE WORLD, OR HEAD OFFICE WHO ARE STILL CLEARLY BOGGED DOWN IN CLIPBOARDS AND CONSULTANCY SPEAK. THANKS FOR WATCHING. GOODNIGHT. ONE NEWS CAPTIONS BY ASHLEE SCHOLEFIELD AND SHRUTIKA GUNANAYAGAM SEVEN SHARP CAPTIONS BY DESNEY SHAW AND TOM PEDLAR. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR.
