Nirvana for us petrol heads. TONIGHT ` TAKING A LEAP OF FAITH... I'M SO SCARED RIGHT NOW. ...IN ORDER TO JUMP-START THEIR FUTURE. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE FUTURE HAS TO OFFER. PLUS ` WE DON'T HAVE AN EIFFEL TOWER, WE DON'T HAVE GREEK RUINS. BUT WE DO HAVE SOMETHING JUST AS SPECTACULAR. BIRDS CHIRP AND HE'S A HEADLINE ACT,... STILL BEING MAD, AND THAT'S WHAT I REALLY ENJOY. ...BUT MAD MIKE'S CHASING A NEW CHALLENGE. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF SEVEN SHARP, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. Just a quick question ` have a look at Toni. What does Toni remind you of this evening? ALSO TONIGHT, FROM LAS VEGAS TO AUCKLAND. THERE'S A BIG SHOW ABOUT TO GET UNDERWAY, AND ERIN CONROY IS THERE. ERIN, TELL US MORE. I've got a full backstage access to the Parris Project show. I sat down with Parris Goebel herself. I'll tell you all about it soon. THANKS, ERIN. CATCH YOU A BIT LATER. I love the way we talk together. A lot of people don't know about the rehearsals. THERE'S ALL SORTS OF WAYS TO CELEBRATE GRADUATING. AT CAMBRIDGE AND OXFORD, IT'S JUMPING OFF A BRIDGE INTO A RIVER. IN QUEENSTOWN, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS JUMP FROM A MUCH HIGHER BRIDGE WITH A BUNGY ATTACHED. THAT SYMBOLIC GESTURE HAS NOW COME TO AUCKLAND, THANKS TO THE JUMPSTART PROGRAMME OFFERING BUNGY JUMPS FOR FREE. GILL HIGGINS WENT TO SEE WHY THE FIRST ROUND OF JUMPERS WERE SO SPECIAL. IT'S FUNNY THE THINGS WE PUT OURSELVES THROUGH. I'M SO SCARED RIGHT NOW. I WAS SHAKING COMING UP. I'M SO SCARED RIGHT NOW. I WAS SHAKING COMING UP. VERY VERY SCARED. NOT A FAN OF HEIGHTS, TO BE TOTALLY HONEST. BUT THEY SAY PUSHING YOURSELF OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE CAN BE WORTH IT. IT'S ALL ABOUT TAKING ON THAT CHALLENGE, GIVING THEM THE ATTITUDE WHERE THEY CAN WALK OUT OF SCHOOL AND GO, 'YOU KNOW WHAT? 'IF CAN DO THIS, I CAN DO ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING IN LIFE.' THIS IS BASICALLY MY ROOM. THIS IS PRETTY MUCH MY WARDROBE. DON'T HAVE MUCH, BUT IT WORKS. LOGAN IS ONE OF 13 STUDENTS WHO'VE HAD THIS ATTITUDE ALL THROUGH THEIR HIGH SCHOOL LIVES... THIS THE LOUNGE WHERE ALL THE BOYS KINDA HANG OUT. ...AT INZONE. INZONE EDUCATION FOUNDATION IS HOME AWAY FROM HOME FOR MAORI AND PI STUDENTS WHO WANNA ATTEND EITHER AUCKLAND GRAMMAR SCHOOL OR EPSOM GIRLS GRAMMAR SCHOOL. IT'S ABOUT GIVING OUR YOUNG PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY BE IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT WHILST GETTING THAT EDUCATION SO THEY CAN FLY IN THE WORLD. GUITAR PLAYS I GENUINELY WANTED TO COME HERE COS IF YOU'RE FROM SOUTH AUCKLAND, THE TREND IS YOU'RE EXPECTED TO GET ON DOLE, DON'T MAKE MUCH MONEY. I WANTED TO CHANGE THAT AND SHOW MY NEIGHBROUHOOD THAT IT'S EASY ENOUGH TO DO WELL ` YOU JUST HAVE TO GO OUT THERE AND GRAB IT. AND KIND OF SIMILAR TO LEAPING OFF A BRIDGE, THE SHIFT FROM HOME WASN'T EASY ` LIGHTS OUT AT 9, LOTS OF CHORES AND RULES. IT WAS PRETTY DAUNTING WHEN I FIRST CAME. TO THIS DAY I DON'T KNOW WHAT PUSHED ME TO TRY AND GET IN. I'D SAY I'M A PRETTY DRIVEN PERSON, JUST QUIETLY. AND GIVING DRIVEN YOUNG PEOPLE A CHANCE CAN PAY OFF. IT'S JUST GIVEN ME A WAY TO HARNESS WHAT I'M GOOD AT AND MY STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES. THEY PUSH YOU AND PUSH YOU AND PUSH YOU. THE WORKLOAD IS REALLY HEAVY, BUT WHAT THEY DO IS SUPPORT YOU MORE. THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS ARE MAKING THEIR FAMILIES PROUD. NEXT YEAR GOING TO STUDY A BACHELOR OF ARTS IN POLITICAL STUDIES AND MAORI STUDIES. I GOT OFFERED A SCHOLARSHIP TO VICTORIA. I'D STUDY ARCHITECTURE AND CRIMINOLOGY. I'M LOOKING AT DOING AN AUDIO ENGINEERING COURSE AT MAINZ. AND THEY'RE ABOUT TO GO FOR ANOTHER TRIUMPH IN LIFE. JUMP OFF AUCKLAND HARBOUR BRIDGE WITH AJ HACKETT BUNGY AS PART OF THAT TRANSITION ` IN SYMBOLIC WAY ` OF TRANSITIONING INTO ADULTHOOD. YOU ARE GOING TO DO A JUMP, AREN'T YOU? NO WAY. YOU NEARLY GOT ME, THOUGH. IT'S FREE THANKS TO THE JUMPSTART PROGRAMME. BUT CAN THEY DO IT? DON'T LOOK. DON'T LOOK. BRO, IT'S ONLY 40M. WITH A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT... ALL: VAUGHN, VAUGHN, VAUGHN. ...EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM CAN. OH YEAH! (SCREAMS) SENSE OF ACHIEVEMENT AT ALL? YEAH, OF COURSE. I'M SCARED OF HEIGHTS, SO I FEEL LIKE I REALLY ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING. I WANNA DO IT AGAIN, EH. IT'S PRETTY COOL. Big ups. That's a hard thing to do. AJ Hackett was in the news. He's going to build the biggest bungee in the world in Singapore. Can you stand up one more time? Just because I want to humour you. Bing bong! See? There actually is a little bit of A likeness. You are an Emirates air hostess. Can you fetch me a wine? An Emirates plane is coming into Christchurch on Monday. It's being flown by a mate of mine from school. We were all the basketball team together at school. You will get to see a picture on Monday. At least one of us did okay. I don't know about you. WE'RE ABOUT TO HIT THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. COMING UP ` WE JUST NEED AS MANY VOTES AS WE CAN. TO HELP THE KOKAKO MAKE HISTORY. THAT SOUND RIGHT THERE, ACTUALLY ` THAT, SORT OF, ORGAN-FLUTE-LIKE CALL. PLUS ` HE'S GOING FROM ONE EXTREME TO ANOTHER. I'M DEFINITELY GOING BACK TO SCHOOL, BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING I'VE NEVER LEARNT. SO WHAT'S STRAIGHTENED MAD MIKE OUT? The stage is set. We are going to get a sneak peek of this soul-out show. Sold-out # WHAT DO YOU MEAN? # OH, OH. # WHEN YOU NOD YOUR HEAD YES BUT YOU WANNA SAY NO, WHAT DO YOU MEAN? A bit of Justin Bieber there. He's just bought a place in London. ERIN'S AT THE SHOW FOR US. ERIN. Hi! TheY are are about to kick off. When I first did a story about Parris Goebel, the producer wanted me to participate in the story and audition. Thank God I didn't. Look how amazing they are. BASSY MUSIC PLAYS amazing, eh? And these are the youngest of the dancers. Everyone on this stage tonight has had one amazing year. # ...BETTER HAVE MY MONEY. # WHAT TIME DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA WRAP UP TONIGHT? UM, WE'RE TRYING TO BE POSITIVE AND THINKING 1AM OR 2AM. IT'S BEEN A CRAZY LAST FEW MONTHS. SUPER CRAZY. WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING? WE JUST CAME BACK FROM NEW YORK. WE PERFORMED WITH RIHANNA AT THE VMAs. # ...STILL GOT MY MONEY. # CALL THE SHOTS... # SHE'S LOVELY. SHE'S SO DOWN TO EARTH. SHE'S LIKE A NORMAL PERSON. SHE WAS, LIKE, OUR BIGGEST FAN TO REQUEST. WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW SHE EVEN KNEW WE EVEN EXISTED, REALLY. WOW. DID YOU GET THE CHANCE TO MEET JUSTIN BIEBER AT THE VMAs? NO, SADLY. HE DIDN'T COME TO THE VMAs, BUT, TO BE HONEST, HAVING, LIKE BEYONCE AND SEEING KANYE WEST AND, LIKE, KIM KARDASHIAN, THAT JUST TOPPED OFF JUSTIN BIEBER. (LAUGHS) AND HOW OLD ARE YOU? AND HOW OLD ARE YOU? 11. ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR... DANCE IS YOUR CAREER NOW. JUST DOING, LIKE, RIHANNA, AND IT JUST OPENED ALL OUR EYES THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY MAKE DANCE AS A CAREER. I DON'T THINK ANY OF US WOULD REALLY BE HAPPY, LIKE, SITTING AT A DESK. # I KNOW YOU KNOW THAT I MADE THOSE MISTAKES MAYBE ONCE OR TWICE... # AFTER BEING IN ALL THESE VIDEOS, ARE YOU STARTING TO GET A LITTLE BIT FAMOUS, STARTING TO GET A LITTLE BIT RECOGNISED? BOTH: SOMETIMES. LAUGHTER (PANTS) YOU A BIT PUFFED? YES. LAUGHTER IT'S GONNA BE CRAZY, AND I HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYS IT. # YEAH, IS IT TOO LATE NOW TO SAY SORRY? # I'm sure they will. Erin will be back soon. DID YOU KNOW THERE'S AN ELECTION THIS WEEKEND? IT'S THE COMPETITION TO CROWN OUR BIRD OF THE YEAR, AND IT CAN GET QUITE COMPETITIVE. YOU SEE, THE KOKAKO'S NEVER WON, AND OSCAR THOMAS (16) IS ON A CRUSADE TO CHANGE THAT. SO CAROLYN ROBINSON WENT ON A DAWN MISSION TO TIRITIRI MATANGI TO FIND OUT WHAT MAKES THE KOKAKO SO SPECIAL. IT STARTED WITH A 3AM WAKE-UP,... IT'S A BIT EARLY. ...A 4.30 FERRY RIDE, A 5AM MEETING,... IT'S A BIT LIKE SITTING IN CHURCH, WAITING FOR THE SERMON TO BEGIN. IF WE'RE VERY LUCKY, WE MIGHT GET THE KOKAKO AT THE END. ...A 10 PAST 5 HIKE IN UTTER SILENCE... FOR THIS ` OVERLAPPING BIRDSONG THE DAWN CHORUS AT TIRITIRI MATANGI. BIRDSONG CONTINUES IT STARTS WITH THE TOUTOUWAI, THEN THE TUI, THE KORIMAKO AND, AFTER A SMALL SLEEP-IN, THERE IT IS ` LILTING BIRDSONG THE KOKAKO. BIRDSONG CONTINUES TO MOST, IT'S A CACOPHONY OF BIRDSONG, BUT OSCAR THOMAS (16) CAN HEAR EACH AND EVERY BIRD DISTINCTLY. SINCE THE AGE OF 10, HE'S HAD A FIRM FAVOURITE, AND WHILE WE ALL FACE FORWARD, HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE THAT FIVE-NOTE OPERATIC SONG IS COMING FROM. KOKAKO SINGS WHILE MOST TEENS HAVE THEIR EYES ON SCREENS, OSCAR HAS HIS ON WINGS. HE'S ONE OF THE YOUNGEST GUIDES ON TIRITIRI MATANGI, AND IF ANYONE CAN FIND THE ELUSIVE GREY GHOST, IT'S HIM. THAT SOUND RIGHT THERE, ACTUALLY ` THAT ORGAN-FLUTE-LIKE CALL, QUITE LOW AND QUITE A LOT LOUDER THAN ALL THE OTHER BIRDCALLS. THAT'S A KOKAKO. WHISPERS: REALLY? OK, LET'S GO SEE IF WE CAN FIND THEM. DISTANT BIRDCALL OH, I HEARD IT. THAT WAS THE KOKAKO. THAT'S IT. I WANT TO ASK OSCAR WHAT IT IS ABOUT THE KOKAKO THAT'S CAPTURED HIS ATTENTION, BUT FIRST I HAVE TO GET HIS ATTENTION. IT'S DEFINITELY GOT THE BEST BIRD CALL, AS YOU HEARD THIS MORNING ` THE LOUDEST IN THE FOREST AND, SORT OF, A DEEP ORGAN-FLUTE-LIKE CALL. I THINK THERE'S ONE OVER THERE. THE KOKAKO HAS NEVER WON BIRD OF YEAR. OSCAR SAYS THIS HAS TO BE THEIR YEAR. WE JUST NEED AS MANY VOTES AS WE CAN. IT'S ALL ABOUT RAISING AWARENESS ` NOT JUST FOR THE KOKAKO, BUT ALL BIRDS OF NZ AND HOW SPECIAL THEY ARE AND THE FACT THAT ALMOST 80% OF THEM ARE ENDANGERED AT THE MOMENT. THEY NEED ALL THE HELP THEY CAN GET. WE THINK THERE'S ABOUT 3000 LEFT IN NZ. THAT'S THANKS IN PART TO PEOPLE LIKE MARY-ANN ROWLAND. SHE LOOKS AFTER THE VISITORS TO TIRI AND WISHES EVERYONE COULD HEAR THAT DAWN CHORUS. WE DON'T HAVE AN EIFFEL TOWER, WE DON'T HAVE GREEK RUINS, BUT WE DO HAVE THE MANU ` THE BIRDS. THEY'RE REALLY IMPORTANT. IT'S WHAT COOK WROTE ABOUT WHEN HE ARRIVED IN NZ. OSCAR SAYS THERE'S SO MANY THINGS TO LOVE ABOUT KOKAKO ` THE LONG LEGS IN THE FOREST, THEIR BLACK BANDIT MASK, THE BLUE WATTLES, BUT MOSTLY THE VOICE. IT MAKES THE TUI SOUND LIKE AN ELABORATE TRAIN WRECK SOMETIMES. (COOS SOFTLY) THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CALL OF ALL THE BIRDS HERE. LILTING BIRDSONG The kokako was winning by five at last check. It until Sunday you can vote. Bird of the year website. You don't want to break the heart of Oscar by voting for another bird. THERE'S NO DENYING MAD MIKE IS A SEASONED PRO. SO WHAT'S GOT HIM SO HOT UNDER THE COLLAR? I'M DEFINITELY GOING BACK TO SCHOOL, Who recommended Adele tonight? Sam Wallace. I'm so excited about the fact that Adele could be coming here. Could be. To Dunedin. Dunedin have done brilliantly with that stadium. Would you go to Adele? No, I don't like her. LET'S GO BACK TO ERIN, WHO'S AT PARRIS GOEBEL'S SHOW IN AUCKLAND TONIGHT. ERIN, YOU MANAGED TO GET A FEW MINUTES WITH THE VERY BUSY PARRIS. We did. It's a miracle. She was here last night rehearsing. Next she is flying to London to choreograph a video for little mix. It's a miracle she had time to sit down with me. We are nowhere near seeing the end of Parris. PARRIS GOEBEL'S 'FRIDAY' YOU RECENTLY LAUNCHED YOUR MUSIC CAREER. HOW'S ALL THAT GOING? GOOD. # MAKE THEM HIPS GO ROUND, ROUND. # WE'VE ONLY HAD THREE SINGLES SO FAR, AND THEN WE HAVE THE REST OF THE EP DROPPING IN, LIKE, TWO WEEKS. SO THIS SHOW ` WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT? IT'S THE PARRIS PROJECT SHOW. IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE PUT ON IN VEGAS ALREADY. IT WAS SOLD OUT. WE HAD AMAZING FEEDBACK. DID YOU GO TO LAS VEGAS? YES. WHAT WAS THAT LIKE? IT WAS SO COOL, BEING MY FIRST TIME. IT'S QUITE INTENSE. WE JUST THOUGHT WE SHOULD DO IT IN NZ AND DO IT FOR OUR COMMUNITY HERE. YOUR WORK WITH JUSTIN BIEBER WAS NOMINATED FOR THREE VMAS... JUSTIN BIEBER'S 'WHAT DO YOU MEAN' ...BUT ON THE NIGHT, THAT BLOODY BEYONCE TOOK IT OUT. BLESS HER. I MEAN, SHE'S BEYONCE. OF COURSE. I WAS JUST HAPPY TO BE THERE AND TO REPRESENT MY COUNTRY AND MY CULTURE AND EVERYONE THAT I DANCE WITH. YEAH, IT WAS A REALLY SPECIAL NIGHT. WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU? MORE MUSIC? DANCE? SOMETHING NEW? I STILL FEEL LIKE I'M JUST GETTING STARTED, WHICH IS CRAZY. I JUST FEEL LIKE I HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO OFFER, WHETHER IT'S FILM OR MUSIC OR DANCE. I THINK NEXT YEAR'S DEFINITELY GOING TO BE THE YEAR FOR ME TO DO IT. # BRING YOU FRIENDS AROUND, ROUND. Sold out in Vegas. WHEN YOU THINK KIWI SPORTS STARS, YOU INSTANTLY THINK OF RICHIE, DAN, AND MAYBE LYDIA. BUT YOU NEED TO THINK OF 'MAD MIKE' WHIDDETT, BECAUSE HE'S GOT A COOL TWO MILLION FOLLOWERS ON FACEBOOK ` TWICE AS MANY AS DC ` SO HE'S KIND OF A BIG DEAL. BUT THIS WEEKEND AT HAMPTON DOWNS, MAZDA'S MAD EXPONENT OF DRIFT IS STEPPING WELL OUTSIDE HIS COMFORT ZONE. HERE'S MICHAEL HOLLAND. ENGINE REVS HE'S THE MAD MASTER OF SIDEWAYS. 10 YEARS SMOKING IT UP ROUND THE WORLD. MY NATURAL INSTINCT IS TO SCARE MYSELF. THAT'S THE BUZZ. THESE HAVE HAD THEIR DAY? YEP, THOSE ARE BUGGERED. THEY LIVED A GOOD LIFE. THAT WAS SIX CORNERS. BUT FOR ALL HIS WILD RUBBER-DESTROYING WAYS,... THIS IS LIKE THE OLD GIRLFRIEND YOU KEEP COMING BACK TO? THIS IS AN RX-7, 1992. I JUST LOVE IT, YOU KNOW. THIS WEEKEND MAD MIKE'S A MAD KEEN BEGINNER AS HE COURTS A NEW COMPANION MORE BEAUTY THAN BEAST. DOWN HERE, SHE AWAITS? YEAH. WE'RE GOING FROM ONE EXTREME TO ANOTHER. HOW FRIGGING GOOD DOES THIS CAR LOOK? THIS IS THE PINNACLE. THIS IS THE HOLY GRAIL OF GT SPORTS CAR RACING. MCLAREN 650S ` INSANE MACHINE. AND WHAT A MAGICAL NZ NAME ` 'MCLAREN'. THIS IS FAR BEYOND A DREAM COME TRUE. I'M JUST HUMBLED AT THE OPPORTUNITY. THAT HUMBLENESS REFRESHING FOR A SPORTSMAN WHO'S A HEADLINE ACT INTERNATIONALLY. SWEATY PALMS? SWEATY PALMS, YEAH, OF COURSE. YOU'RE ALMOST GOING BACK TO SCHOOL. I DEFINITELY AM, BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER LEARNT. NO HANGING OUT THE BACKSIDE HERE ` THIS PIECE OF ELEGANCE ALL ABOUT FAST AND STRAIGHT. JUST TRY AND BECOME ONE WITH THE CAR AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. YOU HAVE A TOOL AND YOU WANT TO MAKE IT PART OF YOUR BODY. THAT'S AN INSANELY EXPENSIVE TOOL. YOU CAN'T BE THINKING ABOUT THE VALUE OF A CAR WHEN YOU'RE RACING. SO I'LL JUST SAY $1.3M TO MYSELF THEN? OK, THAT'S A VERY EXPENSIVE CAR. MOTORSPORT MOGUL TONY QUINN OFFERED MAD MIKE THE DRIVE ALMOST ON A WHIM. HE KNOWS IF HE GOES SIDEWAYS, THAT'S SLOW. HE'LL BE FINE. TRUST ME. HE'S LIKE, 'HEY, YOU WANNA JUMP IN THE MCLAREN 'AND RACE THE GT CHAMPIONSHIP?' I WAS LIKE, <BLEEP>! INSTANT GOOSEBUMPS. IF SOMEONE'S DOING SOMETHING THAT'S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, DON'T WORRY. HE'S A THRILL SEEKER AND HE'S GOT AN AMAZING SKILLSET ALREADY. HE'LL ADAPT TO IT, NO PROBLEM AT ALL. SO ENOUGH OF THE TALK. BRING IT ON. MAD MIKE'S FIRST EVER LAP IN THE MCLAREN... AMID EQUALLY EXOTIC MACHINERY. BLIPPED IT OFF AND THEN TRIED TO CATCH IT WITH THE THROTTLE. THIS THING IS JUST BEAUTIFUL. FEELS AMAZING, SUPER FAST, SO RESPONSIVE. WHAT A MACHINE. GREG MURPHY JUST CAME UP AND GAVE US THE WORD THAT, 'THAT WAS FRIGGING IMPRESSIVE,' SO I THINK WE'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK. 'MAD MCLAREN MIKE' ` IT HAS A CERTAIN RING TO IT. IT'S ALL KIWI, RIGHT? HAPPY BOY? SUPER HAPPY, MAN. I'VE GOT A WHOLE WEEKEND OF THIS. AWESOME. Love it. That's at Hampton Downs. Tony Quinn Hampton Downs. It's going to be a racetrack for the first time. Amazing. We crashed the site on the bird voting. Birdoftheyear.Org.NZ fingers crossed the kokako wins. SO THE LATEST HEADLINE TODAY SURROUNDING THE DREAMWORLD TRAGEDY ` 'EBONY GOODCHILD BLAMES HERSELF FOR HER MOTHER'S DEATH.' WHEN I FIRST READ THIS, IT MADE ME FEEL EXTREMELY SAD THAT THIS WAS BEING PUT OUT IN THE MEDIA. IT WAS A COMMENT MADE BY A GOOD FRIEND OF THE DAUGHTER'S FAMILY, AND IT DETAILED HOW EBONY WAS DESPERATE TO GO ON THE THUNDER RIDE, THE OTHERS DIDN'T WANT TO, AND SHE INSISTED. I'M SURE THE COMMENT WAS MADE IN GOOD FAITH, BUT I COULDN'T HELP BUT FEEL THAT IT'S A PIECE OF INFORMATION NONE OF US NEEDED TO KNOW. SHE'S A 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL GRIEVING FOR HER MOTHER. THIS IS SUCH A PAINFULLY PUBLIC TRAGEDY ANYWAY, WITHOUT US KNOWING THE INS AND OUTS OF A CHILD'S GRIEF. SO DUCO, JOE PARKER'S PEOPLE, APPLY TO THE GOVERNMENT FOR TAXPAYER MONEY, THEN TODAY PULL THE APPLICATION BECAUSE IT GOT TOO 'POLITICAL'. WHAT ELSE WERE THEY EXPECTING? IT SHOWS A DISTURBING AMOUNT OF NAIVETY, AND I HOPE THEY'RE SLICKER IN OTHER AREAS OF THEIR OPERATION. BIT TRICKY FOR THEM NOW AS THEY TEASE US WITH NEXT WEEK'S ANNOUNCEMENT AS TO WHETHER THE FIGHT STAYS HERE OR GOES TO THE STATES. I CAN MAKE THE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THEM ` IT'S GONE. WHY? BECAUSE IF IT STAYS HERE, HOW COME THEY NEEDED TO ASK FOR GOVERNMENT HELP AT ALL IF THEY COULD FUND IT THEMSELVES? IS THERE A FINANCIAL MIRACLE BETWEEN NOW AND NEXT FRIDAY? I DON'T THINK SO. THE UPSIDE IS WE STILL HAVE A TITLE FIGHT, WHICH IS WHAT REALLY COUNTS. HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND. GOODNIGHT. ONE NEWS CAPTIONS BY TOM PEDLAR AND FAITH HAMBLYN.
