Over to Seven Sharp now. A bit of a health scare for one of your reporters. Bone, you are this headline yourself. It was a scary weight. TONIGHT ON SEVEN SHARP ` THE TIME THAT MELANOMA STORY BECAME SLIGHTLY PERSONAL. YOU'LL FEEL SOME TUGGING. PLUS ` YOU READY FOR THIS? BUT WHAT GILL DOESN'T KNOW IS SHE'S ACTUALLY UP AGAINST A SECRET WEAPON. THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I'VE WON ANYTHING. AND NORAH JONES IS BACK. # LET'S JUST FORGET. # LEAVE IT BEHIND. # SO WHY DOES THE NINE-TIME GRAMMY WINNER OWE A LOT OF HER SUCCESS TO A CAR? DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF SEVEN SHARP, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. Good on Carolyn for doing that. I she don't think the shower Was on her mind. T is an interesting story. How often do you talk about melanoma? Et's come back to the transportation. This is an electric bike, and it's part of modern transport. You can turn the electrics on when you get bored. Isn't it beautiful? $3000 worth of bike. I didn't pick you as an electrical bike fan. His is the reason for the story ` You'll be pleasantly surprised. AND THIS ELECTRIC BIKE COULD BE ALL YOURS BY THE END OF THE SHOW. THE RECENT WET WEATHER MAKES IT HARD TO BELIEVE SUMMER'S JUST AROUND THE CORNER. BUT IT IS COMING, AND WITH IT, THE TIMELY REMINDER ABOUT JUST HOW DANGEROUS THE SUN IS HERE IN NZ. SO WHEN WE GOT WIND OF A DOCTOR OFFERING SKIN CHECKS FOR A FRACTION OF THE USUAL PRICE IN AN EFFORT TO TRY AND GET OUR SKIN CANCER RATES DOWN, WE ASKED CAROLYN ROBINSON TO GO AND CHECK IT OUT. BUT HER SHOOT QUICKLY TOOK AN UNEXPECTED TURN. AND A WARNING ` THERE ARE A FEW SLIGHTLY UNCOMFORTABLE SHOTS IN CARO'S STORY. BRIGHT MUSIC IT'S TAKES A SUNNY PERSON TO DO ERICA WOOD'S JOB. HI. IT'S ERICA WOOD SPEAKING FROM SEVEN SHARP. SHE MAKES CONSIDERED DECISIONS EVERY DAY ON THE CONTENT OF THIS VERY PROGRAMME. SHE'S SUPER-ORGANISED AND LEAVES LITTLE TO CHANCE. YEAH, NO, I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD HAVE THAT LINE IN THERE. EXCEPT, HERE'S THE THING ` SHE GREW UP IN SUNSHINE CAPITAL NELSON AND HAS NEVER EVER HAD A SKIN CHECK. WHEN I WAS A KID, IF MY NOSE WASN'T PEELING IN SUMMER, THEN IT WASN'T A SUMMER. LIKE, I WAS REGULARLY SUNBURNT. SO SHE'S A PERFECT CANDIDATE TO TAKE TO DR MARIA REEVES. SHE CAME HERE FROM COLOMBIA SEVEN YEARS AGO AND WAS APPALLED AT BOTH THE COST OF PROFESSIONAL SKIN CHECKS AND OUR STATS. SKIN CANCERS ARE VISIBLE, AND THEY LOOK UGLY. THEY DON'T LOOK NORMAL, IN RESPECT TO ANY COLOUR ` EITHER PINK OR BROWN OR PURPLE OR BLACK OR WHITE. IT COMES IN DIFFERENT SKIN COLOURS. IF IT'S SOMETHING ABNORMAL, JUST SEEK HELP. BUT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE NOT SEEKING HELP,... NELLY'S 'HOT IN HERRE' ...SO A FEW MONTHS AGO, SHE BEGAN OFFERING $50 APPOINTMENTS AND SINCE THEN HAS CAUGHT NINE MELANOMAS. AFFORDABILITY, OBVIOUSLY, MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE. AND THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED TO OPEN THE CLINIC. DO I THINK I'M GOING TO GET SOMETHING? PROBABLY HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING DODGY. THAT $50 CHECK IS A COMPREHENSIVE ONE. LOOK IN YOUR EARS, BEHIND THE EARS, ON THE SIDE OF YOUR FACE, IN YOUR NAILS, IN BETWEEN YOUR TOES, UNDERNEATH YOUR TOES AND ALSO ON YOUR GENITALS. YOU KNOW, OUR PRIVATE AREAS NOT SUPPOSED TO GROW MOLES. UPBEAT MUSIC AND FOR ERICA, IT'S GOOD NEWS. THE WOMAN WHO USED TO COMPETE WITH HER SISTERS TO PEEL OFF THE BIGGEST PIECE OF SKIN IS FINE. I THINK IT'S OK. (LAUGHS) GENETICS AND LUCK COLLUDING IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY. THEN, OFF CAMERA, I ASKED DR REEVES TO CHECK JUST ONE SPOT ON MY NECK, AND A FEW MINUTES LATER, UNBELIEVABLY, I'M OFF TO THEATRE. YOU'RE GOING TO MEET... LET'S MARK THIS THING UP, AND THEN TAKE IT FROM THERE. THE MARK HAS RECENTLY CHANGED IN COLOUR, BUT GIVEN MINE AND MY FAMILY'S HISTORY, IT'S DECIDED TAKING IT OUT IS BEST. THIS IS NOT HOW I THOUGHT THIS STORY WAS GOING TO GO. I DON'T THINK ANYONE WAS WONDERING ABOUT THAT, ACTUALLY. AND WHILE I'M IN HERE,... YOU'LL FEEL SOME TUGGING, WHICH IS NATURAL. ...ERICA HAS PHOTOS TAKEN OF EVERY SPOT, EVERY MOLE, TO HAVE SOMETHING TO COMPARE WITH NEXT TIME. NOT CAPTURING ANYTHING ON THAT DAY DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING. IT MEANS YOU'RE HERE, AND I'M LOOKING AT YOUR SKIN, AND THEREFORE, WHEN YOU WALK OUT THAT DOOR, WE JUST SAVE A LIFE. THEN LOOKING AS THOUGH WE'VE SPENT THE DAY AT A SPA, WE'RE ALL DONE. DIDN'T QUITE GO AS WE PLANNED, DID IT? NO, NOT QUITE HOW WE PLANNED. I WAS EXPECTING THAT I WAS GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING CHOPPED OUT, BUT INSTEAD IT WAS YOURS TRULY! AROUND 11 PEOPLE WILL BE DIAGNOSED WITH MELANOMA TOMORROW, SO DR REEVES' GOAL IS AN AMBITIOUS ONE. HAVING AFFORDABLE SKIN CHECKS OR SEEING OUR NATION TO HAVE ONE DAY FREE SKIN CHECKS, THAT WOULD BE LOVELY. THAT'S WHAT I REALLY WOULD LOVE TO SEE. THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE FOR ` TO SAVE LIVES. $50 is still a lot of money for a lot of people. I paid250or 280. It is tremendous amount of money. It's like dentistry. It is a barrier to most people going and doing it. I got this thing about the medical profession. They won't answer my question. Given you have checked me every year, what are the chances I'm going to get melanoma next year? They can't answer it. They are on thiscampaign. But they can't answer it. The reality is the damage is done. And there are different forms of melanoma as well. 300 Nzers die every year of melanoma. We have very high rates. Good news about Caroline, though. Yes,although she had to wait a week or two. Hey have a test, and they said they will give your call. And in the meantime you're freaking out. DON'T THINGS SEEM SO SIMPLE WHEN KIDS EXPLAIN THEM? IT'S JUST PEOPLE WHO NEED OUR HELP. WE'RE GONNA HELP THEM. MEET THE 6-YEAR-OLD REALLY PUTTING HIS MONEY WHERE HIS MOUTH IS. CAN I PLEASE HAVE SIX MUFFINS? WE'RE GETTING SIX MUFFINS FOR SOME HOMELESS PEOPLE. PLUS, PUTTING THE 'POWER' IN PEDAL POWER. FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I'VE WON ANYTHING. (CHUCKLES) THE BIKES GETTING PEOPLE WHO CAN'T EXERCISE BACK UP AND RUNNING. AND HOW YOU COULD GET YOUR HANDS ON ONE TOO. WE'RE GIVING THIS AWAY BEFORE THE END OF THE SHOW. It's going viral. AND THIS IS ART. IT'S USEFUL. SO WHY DID IT GET TRASHED? YOU CAN'T LIE ON THE BENCH, AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO RELAX UNDER A` UNDER A BIT OF PLASTIC. I DON'T SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. 1 Are you sure it's OK if I get a ride? Yeah, yeah. Dad said it's fine. I'm putting on some music. OK. BOTH CHUCKLE, CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS Dad! OK, I'm gonna change it. Sorry, but... Yeah. OK. Ooh yeah. Yeah. Turn it up. DUB MUSIC PLAYS, PHONE PINGS Hey, the others wanna hang out. Um... Hey! BOTH LAUGH ALL: # It's time to cut and run. It's time to... TYRES SCREECH # It's time to cut and run. It's time to cut and run. # Oh my God. Get off! Yeah! It's so obvious. So wasted. TRUCK HORN BLARES, GIRLS SCREAM, LAUGH (LAUGHS) TV BEEPS I'll probably drop Libby home after dance so she doesn't have to walk home in the dark. Thanks, Dad. I'll be home a little bit after 10, not too late. I love you guys. Yeah, all good, love. # IS IT TOO LATE NOW TO SAY SORRY? # COS I'M MISSING MORE THAN JUST YOUR BODY. I still love that video, nd it is up for video of the year at the American music awards. Remember the banana seats? The beautiful banana seat. And a little basket on the front? Tassles? Spokey dokeys. Wwe're trying to portray that this is a cool thing. A lot of you think you deserve the bike. ONE OF THE THINGS YOU LEARN AS A PARENT AS YOU WATCH YOUR KIDS AND THEIR MATES IS MOST OF THEM ARE OK, AND BY IN LARGE, THE MEDIA GIVE THEM A BUM WRAP. CASE IN POINT ` TY ROBERTSON (6) WAS SO UPSET AFTER SEEING TWO HOMELESS PEOPLE THAT HE WANTED TO DO SOMETHING, SO WITH HIS DAD'S HELP, TY SPENT HIS HARD-EARNED POCKET MONEY, ABOUT $12, TO BUY SOME FOOD FOR THE CHRISTCHURCH CITY MISSION. HIS DAD WAS FILMING AS TY HANDED THE TREATS OUT. FIVE AND FIVE MAKE 10. PUT THOSE TOGETHER. THAT'S TWO. UPLIFTING MUSIC CAN I PLEASE HAVE SIX MUFFINS? WE'RE GETTING MUFFINS FOR SOME HOMELESS PEOPLE. WHY ARE WE DOING THAT? COS IT'S REALLY NICE, AND THAT'LL CHEER THEM UP. THANK YOU. IT'S VERY SAD THAT HOMELESS PEOPLE HAVE TO BE OUTSIDE. THAT` THAT'S VERY SAD. IT'S JUST PEOPLE WHO NEED OUR HELP. WE'RE GONNA HELP THEM. IS THIS A SCHOOL COMPETITION? NO. HE JUST` HE WANTED TO DO THIS, YOU KNOW, WITH HIS OWN POCKET MONEY. LOOK AT THAT, EH? YUM. VERY GOOD. SHAKE MY HAND. (CHUCKLES) THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. DID YOU MAKE THEM? THEY'RE GOOD. NO. I BUY THEM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, EH? I REALLY ENJOYED THAT. THAT WAS REALLY FUN, AND I'M ALWAYS GONNA DO THAT FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED HELP. UPLIFTING MUSIC CONTINUES That's one of those ` ones where you think ` did he save one for himself? $12 was meant to be for a watch, Buddy decided it needed to go to the homeless people. SO, A SUPER SWEET EXAMPLE OF SOMEONE LOOKING OUT FOR OUR HOMELESS, BUT IN AUCKLAND, IT'S A DIFFERENT STORY. IT ALL BEGAN WITH AN ARTIST WHO MADE A PIECE FOR COUNCIL ART WEEK. IT WAS EVEN PUT UP IN A PUBLIC SPACE ` COMPLETELY LEGIT ` THEY EVEN HAD A PERMIT. SO DID COUNCIL RUBBISH CONTRACTORS TAKE IT AWAY? TIM WILSON INVESTIGATES. UPBEAT MUSIC CHRIS BERTHELSON AND SHIN CHENG ARE REBUILDING A PIECE OF ART. I GOT A STRESSED-OUT PHONE CALL FROM THE LADY THAT'S THE ORGANISER. SOMEONE SAYING THEY WERE POLICE CALLED AUCKLAND COUNCIL COMPLAINING THE WORK WAS SHELTERING THE HOMELESS, WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW, WHICH HAS THE ARTISTS BEMUSED. I GUESS THE POLICE IS PART OF THE COLLABORATION. SO COUNCIL RUBBISH COLLECTORS TOOK IT AWAY. PROBLEM IS THAT THE COUNCIL ALLOWED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. HERE'S THEIR PERMIT. SO, ARE YOU ANGRY? NO, DUDE. I'M SORRY I CAN'T PROVIDE YOU ANY RAGE. COULDN'T YOU JUST TRY? DUDE, I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN MAKE SOMETHING ON THE STREET THAT A HOMELESS PERSON WON'T EVEN` THEY'RE NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO USE ANYTHING. YOU CAN'T SLEEP THERE, YOU CAN'T LIE ON THE BENCH, AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO RELAX UNDER A BIT OF PLASTIC. I DON'T SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. LET'S SCORE THE PROBLEM ` ART, ONE; COUNCIL, NIL. THE GAMES RESUME. Is there really aren't? 3 AM in the morning and you drive your rubbish truck. You see that, and what do you think? I remember that question from sixth form art history. The eye of the beholder of the truck driver thinks that is a bit of rubbish. I feel sorry for them. CYCLING'S TAKEN OFF, HASN'T IT? AND IT'S OFTEN A PACK MENTALITY ` THE LYCRA, THE CREW, THE CAFE STOPS. THAT, OF COURSE, ISN'T THE CASE FOR OUR RESIDENT LONER HERE, WHO WE'RE STILL NOT ENTIRELY SURE ACTUALLY RIDES EVERY DAY LIKE HE CLAIMS. I wrote today. You have to cycle alone. It's about the mind. YES, IT'S NOT ONLY GREAT EXERCISE BUT IN SOME CASES ` NOT MINE ` IT'S A GREAT SOCIAL ACTIVITY TOO. BUT FOR JILL DAVENPORT (74), GETTING ON A BIKE WASN'T AN OPTION. THAT WAS UNTIL SHE FOUND A SECRET WEAPON. SO SHE CHALLENGED OUR GILL HIGGINS TO A RACE. STRETCH THE BACK OUT. WE'RE TWO GILLS. BIT OF LEG? NO, I'LL FALL OVER. (LAUGHS) JILL WITH A J HAS A FEW YEARS ON ME, AND SHE'S HAD THE BIG C. YOU READY FOR THIS? YES, I'M READY. OK? BUT IT DOESN'T HOLD HER BACK. GO! I'VE GOT THIS. FUNKY MUSIC I WON. FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I'VE WON ANYTHING. (LAUGHS) WHAT'S YOUR SECRET? MY SECRET IS THIS LITTLE THING ` THIS E-BIKE. QUIRKY MUSIC GO BACK A FEW YEARS, AND BIKES DIDN'T FEATURE IN JILL AND PAUL'S LIVES. WE TRAMPED FOR YEARS, AND THEN WHEN YOU START GETTING ARTIFICIAL LIMBS, YOU CAN'T REALLY TRAMP, SO WE NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING. THEY TOOK TO CYCLING ON NORMAL BIKES, AND IT BECAME THEIR LIFE, STARTING A 50S-PLUS CLUB IN WAIHI. I FEEL QUITE PROUD OF THE FACT WE'RE THIS AGE AND WE'RE RIDING OUR BIKES. AND IT MUST BE DOING US ALL GOOD. THE GROUP'S CYCLED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL VIEW, ISN'T IT? IT IS. EVERYWHERE YOU GO DOWN THERE, THE VIEWS ARE SPECTACULAR. THEY'RE HUGE. SO IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU COULD DO IT WITH YOUR HAIR BLOWING IN THE BREEZE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TOUGH FOR ME WHEN I DIDN'T HAVE ANY HAIR. BECAUSE JUST AS THEY'D FOUND THEIR PERFECT PASTIME, CANCER STRUCK. I GOT DIAGNOSED WITH LYMPHOMA ` BLOOD CANCER. SHE HAD AGGRESSIVE SESSIONS OF CHEMO AND RADIOTHERAPY. SO THINGS THEN STARTED TO GET QUITE A BIT HARDER? YES. I FOUND THAT I WAS ONLY DOING PART OF RIDES OR I'D WALK IT OR SOMETHING OR JUST MEET FOR THE COFFEE. BUT THERE'S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT JILL. SHE'S NEVER GIVEN UP. SHE'S BEEN A FIGHTER ALL HER LIFE. I LOOK FOR SOLUTIONS. AND SHE SAW ONE ON THIS AD ` MERCURY ENERGY WAS OFFERING 500 BUCKS OFF AN E-BIKE TO CUSTOMERS, BUT AT A COST OF BETWEEN 2000 AND 5000,... I KNEW THAT WE COULDN'T AFFORD ONE. WE'RE PENSIONERS. ANYWAY, TOLD THEM ABOUT MY STORY, AND THEY GAVE ME A PHONE CALL AND SAID TO ME, 'WE WANT TO GIVE YOU A BIKE.' LEFT ME SHAKING AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY. WITHOUT IT, I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CARRY ON. SHE SAYS IT'S STILL EXERCISE. YES, YOU'RE STILL DOING THE ACTIVITY, BUT IT ENABLES ME TO GET UP THE HILLS. NOW IT'S HER BUDDIES' TURN, BECAUSE THEY'RE FINDING NORMAL BIKES TOUGH TOO. I HAD A FALL LAST YEAR DOWN STEPS AND WAS AWAY FROM WORK 12 MONTHS. I'M NOT AS FIT AS I WAS WHEN DID THE OTAGO RAIL TRAIL. YOU'VE SEEN JILL ON HER BIKE. ARE YOU KEEN TO GIVE IT A GO? YEP, ABSOLUTELY. I'M REALLY EXCITED. # SO I'M TAKING MY TIME ON MY RIDE. # TAKING MY TIME ON MY RIDE. # WOMEN CHEER WE CAN'T GET YOU OFF IT. I KNOW. I'M JUST GONNA HAVE... YOU KNOW, POSSESSION'S 9/10THS OF THE LAW. LAUGHTER YOU JUST HAVE TO PUT IT IN ONE AND IT JUST TAKES OFF. (LAUGHS) I LOVE IT. I'M IN LOVE WITH IT. IF THEY SAVE UP THE MONEY, THEY COULD BE CYCLING FOR YEARS TO COME. I MUST ADMIT, I WAS A BIT SCEPTICAL TO START WITH. I WAS KINDA LIKE, 'OH, THAT MIGHT BE A BIT NANA PANTS.' BUT, NO, IT'S NOT. IT'S JUST LOVELY. I'M GONNA SEE HOW FAST I CAN GO. # TAKING MY TIME ON MY RIDE. # Haven't heard that phrase for ages. SO THAT BIKE LOOKS PRETTY AMAZING, Wick in an electric model, and suddenly it's three grand. The other point that was made was commuting. You are not supposed to get hot and sweaty and exercise. You need to get a limegreen 50+ bike. This one is up for grabs. I'm in two classic design, so good on then. TO ENTER, GO TO OUR FACEBOOK PAGE, WHERE YOU'LL FIND THE DETAILS. WE'LL BE ANNOUNCING THE WINNER BEFORE THE END OF THE SHOW, SO MAKE SURE YOU KEEP WATCHING. WHAT KEEPS NORAH JONES UP AT NIGHT? WHEN I THINK ABOUT MUSIC, I CAN'T SLEEP. IT WILL KEEP ME UP TILL I FIGURE OUT WHAT I'M THINKING, YOU KNOW. PLUS, WHAT CHANGED HER LIFE FOREVER. I HAD TO MOVE. (LAUGHS) # ...LEAVE IT BEHIND AND CARRY ON. # NORAH JONES' 'DON'T KNOW WHY' PLAYS # MY HEART IS DRENCHED IN WINE. A very rare album where every single track is good. It change the world, that music. It changed her life. THAT'S A BIT OF OLD-SCHOOL NORAH JONES, WHO WE HAVEN'T HEARD MUCH OF FOR A WHILE. THAT IS UNTIL NOW. THE NINE-TIME GRAMMY WINNER'S JUST RELEASED HER NEW ALBUM, 'DAY BREAKS', AND I CHATTED TO HER ABOUT HER NEW SOUND. # AND AFTER ALL'S BEEN SAID AND DONE... NORAH, HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR NEW MUSIC? I'M PRETTY PARTIAL TO MOODY` MOODY SOUNDS. # LEAVE IT BEHIND AND CARRY ON. TELL US HOW YOUR LIFE CHANGED AFTER THAT INCREDIBLE GRAMMY SUCCESS. I GUESS MY LIFE CHANGED. I HAD TO MOVE. (CHUCKLES) NORAH JONES! NORAH JONES. NORAH JONES. I GOT A LOT OF FREEDOM FROM ALL THAT TO, SORT OF, DO WHAT I WANT FOR THE NEXT MANY YEARS. # SO CARRY ON. # AND I HEAR YOU'RE A MIDDLE-OF-THE-NIGHT SONG WRITER. I WAS UP LATE AT NIGHT OFTEN, AND SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, WHEN I THINK ABOUT MUSIC, I CAN'T SLEEP. IT'LL KEEP ME UP TILL I FIGURE OUT WHAT I'M THINKING, YOU KNOW? # WHEN I SEE WE MADE IT THROUGH ANOTHER DAY. # WHEN YOU THINK OF NORAH JONES, I THINK MOST PEOPLE THINK OF THAT PIANO, AND YET IT WENT MISSING THERE FOR A WHILE. WELL, I'VE ALWAYS PLAYED PIANO, BUT I'VE DEFINITELY WRITTEN A LOT ON GUITAR OVER THE LAST 15 YEARS AND BEEN MORE INSPIRED BY THAT. I'VE DEFINITELY BEEN PLAYING A LOT MORE PIANO IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, AND THIS WHOLE ALBUM IS VERY PIANO-BASED, SO I'M EXCITED TO PLAY THE PIANO AGAIN. # SAW YOUR REFLECTION ALL OVER THE NEWS. HOW DO YOU THINK YOU'VE CHANGED SINCE THAT EARLY SUCCESS? I THINK YOU GROW AS A MUSICIAN THE OLDER YOU GET AND HOPEFULLY GET BETTER AT WHAT YOU DO, SO CERTAINLY I THINK I'VE DONE THAT. WHAT SORT OF MUSIC'S ON YOUR PLAYLIST? I LISTEN TO A LOT OF OLD MUSIC. I ALWAYS HAVE. I JUST SOUNDS SO GOOD. # I CAN'T STAND # WHEN YOU TELL ME TO GIVE BACK. # I LISTEN TO NINA SIMONE OR BILLIE HOLIDAY OR ARETHA FRANKLIN OR, GOSH, YOU KNOW, THE LIST GOES ON ` WILLIE NELSON, HANK WILLIAMS. WHEN YOU HAVE A FIRST ALBUM THAT'S SO INCREDIBLY SUCCESSFUL, HOW DO YOU POSSIBLY FOLLOW ON FROM THAT? YOU KNOW, WHATEVER PRESSURE THAT THE LABEL FELT I LUCKILY DIDN'T FEEL MYSELF. I KNEW THAT IT WAS KIND OF ON ME TO JUST STAY INSPIRED AND MAKE WHATEVER MUSIC WAS CALLING ME, AND I THINK TIMING ALSO HAS A LOT TO DO WHEN YOU GET` I MEAN, THERE'S ONE THING TO BE SUCCESSFUL, BUT THEN THAT WAS THIS CRAZY, WEIRD THING. # I DON'T KNOW WHY I DIDN'T CALL. # YOUR BACK STORY INVOLVES A WONDERFUL STORY ABOUT A CAR, DOESN'T IT? I MET JESSIE HARRIS, WHO WROTE 'I DON'T KNOW WHY'. I MET HIM WHEN I WAS 19` 18 OR 19, AND I MET HIM BECAUSE I HAD A HUGE 1971 CADILLAC IN TEXAS, AND IT'S COS I HAD THAT CAR THAT I MET A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT, SORT OF, BECAME A BIG PART OF MY LIFE AND CAREER, COS MY CAR WAS BIG ENOUGH TO GO PICK UP THESE MUSICIANS FROM THE HOTEL (CHUCKLES) AND FIT ALL THEIR GEAR. # COME AWAY WITH ME, AND I WILL WRITE YOU A SONG. # That song is probably one of the greatest songs of all time. She is a lovely woman. Incredible, isn't it? TIME TO ANNOUNCE THE WINNER OF THIS ELECTRIC BIKE NOW. AND THE LUCKY VIEWER IS GREG GOLDFINCH, WHOSE WIFE IS LIVING WITH THE PAIN DISORDER FIBROMYALGIA AND WANTS TO EXERCISE BUT NEEDS A WEE REST ALONG THE WAY. GREG, WE HOPE THIS HELPS GET HER MOVING AGAIN AND YOU JOIN HER FOR SOME OF THE RIDES. Congratulations. Brilliant. Send us a picture of you would like to. YOU SEE ALL THIS CONTROVERSY AROUND SPIT HOODS TODAY? POLICE SAY THEY'VE HAD TO USE THEM 300 TIMES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS TO AVOID BOTH SALIVA AND BLOOD BEING FLUNG ON THEM. THE RISKS ARE TUBERCULOSIS, HEPATITIS AND OTHER INFECTIOUS DISEASES. NOW WE'VE GOT A GROUP OF PEOPLE SAYING THESE HOODS ARE UNFAIR TO THE DETAINEES, THEY'RE SCARY AND DISTRESSING, AND THEY WANT OTHER OPTIONS USED. ARE WE SERIOUSLY DEBATING WHAT'S FAIR IN THIS SITUATION? COS I'LL TELL YOU WHAT'S UNFAIR ` THAT THE PEOPLE WE AS A SOCIETY RELY ON TO KEEP US SAFE HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THIS LOW-LIFE BEHAVIOUR. SPITTING IS THE ULTIMATE DEGRADING INSULT, ISN'T IT? AND POLICE SAY IT'S HAPPENED 900 TIMES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. I'D LOVE TO SEE THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT THESE THINGS STAND THERE AND HAVE SOMEONE SPIT BLOOD AND SALIVA IN THEIR FACE, AND THEN GIVE THE SAME OPINION. SO, THE GOVERNMENT HAS READ THE TEA LEAVES TODAY AND ACTED ON IMMIGRATION. IT'S POLITICAL AS OPPOSED TO SENSIBLE. THEREFORE, IT'S A MISTAKE. THERE IS NO DOUBT THERE ARE LARGE NUMBERS OF US THAT THINK WE HAVE TOO MANY ARRIVALS. I'M NOT ONE OF THEM. MIGRATION BRINGS SKILLS, JOBS, GROWTH AND MONEY, AND THE AREA THEY'RE TRIMMING IS IN THE SKILLS DEPARTMENT ` THE VERY AREA EMPLOYERS ARE CRYING OUT FOR HELP IN. LORD KNOWS HOW MANY TIMES I'VE HEARD INDUSTRIES TELLING US THEY CANT GET GOOD PEOPLE. HOW DO YOU THINK CHRISTCHURCH IS GETTING REBUILT? WHO'S BEHIND THE BUILDING BOOM IN AUCKLAND? WHO'S FILLING OUT THE TOURISM NUMBERS? THIS COUNTRY IS NOT A FORTRESS, AND TO ACT LIKE IT IS IS NAIVE AND WILL HURT US, NO MATTER HOW MANY BROWNIE POINTS IT MIGHT GIVE THE GOVERNMENT FROM THE SHORTSIGHTED AND AGGRIEVED. 1 NEWS CAPTIONS BY JAKE EBDALE AND CATHERINE DE CHALAIN.
