TONIGHT ` A DRAMATIC NIGHT IN MORRINSVILLE. POLICE SURROUND A HOUSE AS THEY TRY TO LOCATE A GUNMAN WHO'S BEEN ON THE RUN FOR 48 HOURS. WHY THE AUSTRALIAN DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER'S KIWI CONNECTION COULD GET HIM TURFED OUT OF PARLIAMENT. PLUS THE NEW MISS UNIVERSE NEW ZEALAND IS CROWNED, BUT IT'S THE CEREMONY THAT HAS YOU TALKING. 'COME OUT. YOU'RE SURROUNDED.' THAT'S THE MESSAGE FROM POLICE TO A GUNMAN WHO'S BEEN ON THE RUN FOR NEARLY 48 HOURS. HE'S BEEN NAMED AS ROLLIE JAMES HEKE (36). HE ALREADY HAS WARRANTS OUT FOR HIS ARREST. REINFORCEMENTS FROM AROUND WAIKATO WERE CALLED IN AFTER HE OPENED FIRE ON POLICE WITH A SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLE YESTERDAY. SAM KELWAY IS IN MORRINSVILLE, WHERE THE STREETS ARE CORDONED OFF. SAM, WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING THERE? THERE'S STILL A BIG POLICE PRESENCE,. THIS ROAD IS STILL CLOSED WHILE THEY CHECK OUT PROPERTIES. THERE ARE TWO HOUSES POLICE WERE SURROUNDING. THERE WAS NO ONE IN EITHER HOME. THE MAN IS WANTED IN RELATION TO THE FIREARMS INCIDENT ON SUNDAY NIGHT WHEN HE SHOT AT POLICE VEHICLES. WE HAD A NUMBER OF POLICE CARS LEAVE THE STATION. THEY RACED HERE AND HAVE BEEN HERE EVER SINCE. STILL ARMED POLICE HERE ON THE SCENE. WE'VE HAD NO UPDATE BUT WILL GIVE INFORMATION LATER ON THE WEBSITE. THANKS, SAM. HEAVY RAIN'S EXPECTED TO KEEP BATTERING PARTS OF CANTERBURY TONIGHT, WHERE AUTHORITIES ARE ON HIGH ALERT. TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS HAVE ALREADY CAUSED SLIPS AND FLOODING. LISA DAVIES REPORTS FROM ONE OF THE HARDEST HIT AREAS ` LEESTON. RUSHING TO SALVAGE WHAT THEY CAN... AS THE FLOODWATERS CONTINUED TO RISE IN LEESTON. IT'S COMING FROM ALL ANGLES. IT'S COMING RIGHT AROUND THE HOUSE. MUM SLEEPS OUT THERE. HER SLEEP-OUT'S BUGGERED. JUST DOWN THE ROAD, FIREFIGHTERS WERE TRYING TO SAVE ANOTHER PROPERTY FROM A SIMILAR FATE. IT'S GREAT TO SEE THEM OUTSIDE. I WAS OUT GIVING THEM A HAND BEFORE WITH MY SHOVEL OUT. ONE FIRE SERVICE VOLUNTEER TOLD ME BECAUSE THEY'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH A SITUATION LIKE THIS THREE TIMES IN THE LAST THREE YEARS, THEY'RE GETTING FRUSTRATINGLY GOOD AT FILLING SANDBAGS. REBECCA GILMOUR'S BEEN HIT REPEATEDLY BY FLOODING AND HAS HAD ENOUGH. HONESTLY, NOT VERY IMPRESSED, COS IT'S THE THIRD TIME WE'VE HAD IT IN A VERY SHORT TIME. MAUREEN POWER'S MUCH LOVED GARDEN IS AWASH. TERRIBLE. IT'S THE WORST WE'VE HAD, I THINK. AND THE FLOODWATERS ARE LAPPING AROUND THE LOCAL SCHOOL TOO. WE'RE A BIT OF A MOAT. BUT WE'RE NICE AND WARM AND DRY INSIDE, SO THAT'S GREAT. BUT IT WASN'T JUST LEESTON LEFT WATERLOGGED. THE ROAD TO SHEFFIELD HAD ITS FAIR SHARE OF WATER HAZARDS, AND IN CHRISTCHURCH, SEVERE SURFACE FLOODING CLOSED A NUMBER OF ROADS. BUT DESPITE HIS LAWN BECOMING A POND, JONESY IS LOOKING ON THE BRIGHT SIDE. ANYHOW, IT'LL GET RID OF THE DROUGHT. THIS LEESTON RESIDENT SUMMING UP THE SENTIMENT FOR MOST PEOPLE TODAY ` SICK OF RAIN. HAD ENOUGH OF RAIN. LISA DAVIES, 1 NEWS. AUSTRALIA'S PARLIAMENT IS UP IN ARMS AFTER THE BOMBSHELL REVELATION THEIR DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER IS A NEW ZEALAND CITIZEN. BARNABY JOYCE WAS SURE HE WAS AN AUSTRALIAN THROUGH AND THROUGH, BUT DIGGING BY KIWI OFFICIALS FOUND HIS FATHER WAS BORN HERE, MEANING HE HAS DUAL CITIZENSHIP. AND THAT COULD FORCE HIM OUT OF HIS JOB. EMILY VAN VELTHOOVEN REPORTS. FIRST IT WAS THE PAVLOVA. THEN IT WAS PHAR LAP. NOW IT SEEMS WE COULD LAY CLAIM TO AUSTRALIA'S DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER. OUR OWN INTERNAL AFFAIRS MINISTER, PETER DUNNE, CONFIRMING MR JOYCE HAS NEW ZEALAND CITIZENSHIP, WHICH TECHNICALLY MAKES HIM INELIGIBLE TO SERVE IN AUSTRALIA'S PARLIAMENT. LAUGHING OFF THE MATTER ONLY WEEKS AGO, EVERYONE'S HAD THE CONVERSATION WITH THEIR MOTHERS AND THEIR FATHERS ` 'WHEN I WAS ASLEEP, ARE YOU SURE YOU DIDN'T MAKE ME A CITIZEN OF... 'BOTSWANA?' (LAUGHS) I AM AN AUSTRALIAN. HE'S NOW HAD TO CONCEDE. UNWITTINGLY OR NOT, HE'S A NEW ZEALAND CITIZEN. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS SHOCKED TO RECEIVE THIS INFORMATION. BUT AN IMMIGRATION LAWYER HERE SAYS PETER DUNNE HASN'T DONE HIS HOMEWORK. SO, THE 1977 ACT REPEALED THE 1948 ACT, SO ALTHOUGH HE WAS A CITIZEN UP UNTIL THE AGE OF ABOUT 10 AND DECLARED TO BE A CITIZEN BY THE OLD ACT, UNDER THE NEW ACT, HE'S CEASED TO BE CITIZEN. MR JOYCE'S OPPOSITION MPS HAVE CALLED FOR HIM TO STAND DOWN. SOME REPORTEDLY MAKING SHEEP NOISES AT HIM IN PARLIAMENT TODAY. ONE EVEN ASKING HIM TO DO THE HAKA. JOKING ASIDE, IF THE HIGH COURT RULES AGAINST MR JOYCE, THERE'LL BE A BY-ELECTION IN HIS SEAT, CAUSING A MAJOR HEADACHE FOR PRIME MINISTER MALCOLM TURNBULL AND HIS ALREADY RAZOR-THIN MAJORITY GOVERNMENT. I WONDER WHY AN AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENTARIAN, THE DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER, DOESN'T ALSO OPEN THE BOOKS AND HAVE A LOOK AT IT. (LAUGHS) THIS PROUD AUSSIE NOW HOPING THOSE BOOKS SPELL OUT 'GIDDAY', INSTEAD OF 'KIA ORA'. EMILY VAN VELTHOOVEN, 1 NEWS. ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER POLICY ANNOUNCEMENT AS THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN HEATS UP. THE GOVERNMENT'S PLEDGED $100M FOR MENTAL HEALTH IN RESPONSE TO GROWING CALLS FOR MORE ACTION ON THE ISSUE. THE INJECTION OF CASH PROMISES NEW INITIATIVES AND WILL FOCUS ON IMPROVING CURRENT SERVICES. POLITICAL EDITOR CORIN DANN HAS THE DETAILS. DEMAND FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES HAS SOARED OVER THE LAST DECADE, PUTTING OUR HEALTH SYSTEM UNDER HUGE PRESSURE. IN 2007, 96,000 PEOPLE USED SPECIALIST MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND ADDICTION SERVICES. IN 2017, THAT NUMBER HAS INCREASED TO 168,000. TODAY THE GOVERNMENT HAS RESPONDED WITH A $100M PLAN THAT INCLUDES 17 NEW INITIATIVES FOCUSING ON AT RISK YOUTH AND EARLY INTERVENTION. THE PACKAGE PROVIDES A MIX OF INITIATIVES DESIGNED TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO EFFECTIVE AND RESPONSIVE MENTAL-HEALTH SERVICES, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME STARTING TO TRANSFORM OUR APPROACH TO MENTAL HEALTH. AMONG THE PROPOSALS ARE $5M TO GIVE SUPPORT TO THOSE WHO ATTEMPT SUICIDE, $11M TO TRIAL FRONTLINE SERVICES IN SELECTED SCHOOLS, $10M TO REACH AT-RISK YOUTH VIA ONLINE TOOLS AND $25M TO BOLSTER THE WORKFORCE. FOR THOSE WORKING IN THE SECTOR, THE PROPOSALS DON'T GO FAR ENOUGH. THERE IS NOTHING IN THERE CLEARLY ABOUT ACTUALLY DIRECTING FUNDING TOWARDS STRENGTHENING AND PROPPING UP OUR CORE MENTAL-HEALTH SERVICES. THE GOVERNMENT DID RESIST AND REFUSE AND REJECT MOST OF THESE CALLS UNTIL VERY CLOSE TO AN ELECTION. THEY WANT AN INQUIRY INTO THE MENTAL-HEALTH SYSTEM. WE DON'T SEE THE NEED FOR AN INQUIRY, SIMPLY BECAUSE THE DEMAND THAT'S OUT THERE IS FAIRLY OBVIOUS. I THINK WE'RE STILL CHASING A PROBLEM THAT WE DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND. AND HEALTH MINISTER JONATHAN COLEMAN IS ALSO DISMISSING CONCERNS THAT THE GOVERNMENT ISN'T KEEPING UP WITH THE DEMANDS FOR THESE SERVICES. THE ANSWER TO ACTUALLY DEALING WITH MENTAL ILLNESS IS NOT NECESSARILY JUST MORE MONEY. MORE MONEY HELPS, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY INVESTING THE TYPE OF PROGRAMMES IN THIS PACKAGE. MANY OF TODAY'S PROPOSALS ARE PILOTS THAT HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL OVERSEAS. THE GOVERNMENT HOPES TO HAVE AROUND HALF OF THEM RUNNING BY EARLY NEXT YEAR. MEANWHILE, THE OPPOSITION'S LAID OUT ITS PLAN TO HELP STUDENTS LEAVING SCHOOL BE BETTER PREPARED FOR WORKING LIFE. LABOUR'S PROPOSING FREE DRIVING LESSONS, BUDGETING LESSONS AND A CAREER PLAN FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. IT COMES AS NATIONAL DEFENDS ITS POLICY TO GET YOUTH OFF THE STREETS. POLITICAL REPORTER KATIE BRADFORD HAS MORE. EVERYONE WANTS TO BE A MP. JACINDA ARDERN TRYING TO GET MORE YOUNG PEOPLE INTERESTED IN POLITICS. SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANNA DO IS MAKE SURE THAT IN EVERY SCHOOL, WE ARE TEACHING YOU ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS. AS PART OF LABOUR'S $80M SCHOOL LEAVERS' TOOLKIT, HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS WILL BE OFFERED FIVE FREE DRIVING LESSONS, PLUS FREE TESTING FOR THEIR LEARNERS AND RESTRICTED LICENSES. MY FATHER WAS A POLICEMAN, SO QUITE SCARY WHEN YOU'VE GOT SOMEONE LIKE A POLICEMAN TEACHING YOU HOW TO DRIVE. A PERSONALISED CAREER PLAN, MORE CIVICS EDUCATION AND BUDGETING SERVICES WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE. FOR THE COURSE THAT I'M APPLYING FOR NEXT YEAR IN UNI, I NEED TO HAVE MY FULL LICENSE. AND KNOWING THERE'S GOING TO BE SUPPORT IF THE POLICY DOES GO ON IS A REALLY BIG HELP. LABOUR FIRST ANNOUNCED PARTS OF THIS PLAN IN 2015. IT'S AIMED AT ENSURING ALL YOUNG PEOPLE LEAVE SCHOOL READY TO WORK. SCHOOLS ALREADY HAVE THE ABILITY TO GIVE NCEA CREDITS FOR DRIVING. MEANWHILE, NATIONAL'S PLAN ` ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY ` TO INTRODUCE BOOT CAMP STYLE TRAINING FOR THE MOST HARDENED YOUTH OFFENDERS IS CONTINUING TO DRAW FIRE TODAY. BUT BILL ENGLISH IS STANDING FIRM, SAYING THE NEW BOOT CAMPS HAVE LEARNT THE LESSONS OF THE PAST. SO IT'S A MORE INTENSIVE VERSION, I HAVE TO SAY A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE, A LOT LONGER AND MUCH MORE COMPREHENSIVE. THE EVIDENCE TELLS US THAT BOOT CAMPS DON'T WORK. THIS IS AN OUTMODED, OUTDATED, TRIED AND TESTED AND FAILED-ALREADY. 'JUST SPEAK' SAYS THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS FOR THOSE MOST TROUBLED YOUNGSTERS. DO WE NOT THINK THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY CREATE CHANGE FOR THEM WITH COMMUNITY-BASED SOLUTIONS? BUT WITH CONCERNS IN THE COMMUNITY ABOUT YOUTH CRIME, NATIONAL THINKS IT'S ON TO A VOTE-WINNER. KATIE BRADFORD, 1 NEWS. IT'S BEEN A LONG DRAWN-OUT SAGA, BUT THE GOVERNMENT COULD NOW HAVE THE FINAL SAY ON THE FUTURE OF CHRISTCHURCH'S CRUMBLING CATHEDRAL. THE ANGLICAN CHURCH HAS ANNOUNCED SYNOD MEMBERS WILL HAVE A THIRD OPTION WHEN THEY VOTE ON THE BUILDING'S FUTURE NEXT MONTH. THE NEW OPTION WOULD ALLOW A VOTE TO GIFT THE CATHEDRAL, AS IT STANDS TO THE PEOPLE OF NEW ZEALAND. THE CHURCH PROPERTY TRUST WOULD THEN SHARE ITS KNOWLEDGE TO HELP THE GOVERNMENT REINSTATE THE BUILDING. THE OTHER TWO OPTIONS ARE TO RESTORE THE CATHEDRAL TO ITS PRE-QUAKE STATE OR BUILD AN ENTIRELY NEW ONE. THE WHITE HOUSE IS FACING FIERCE CRITICISM AFTER DONALD TRUMP COMMENTS ON THE DEADLY VIOLENCE IN VIRGINIA. EVEN REPUBLICANS SAY HE MISSED HIS CHANCE TO DISTANCE HIMSELF FROM THE WHITE SUPREMACISTS WHO HAVE EMBRACED HIS PRESIDENCY. IT COMES AS CHAOS DESCENDS ON THE STREETS OF CHARLOTTESVILLE ONCE AGAIN. THE ABC'S STEPHANIE MARCH REPORTS. CROWD CHANTS: SHAME ON YOU! ENRAGED PROTESTERS TAKING BACK THE STREETS. CROWD CHANTS: GO HOME! JASON KESSLER, THE WHITE NATIONALIST BEHIND THE UNITE THE RIGHT MARCH, HELD A PRESS CONFERENCE TO LASH OUT AT POLICE FOR NOT PROTECTING HIS SUPPORTERS. THE HATE THAT YOU HEAR AROUND YOU, THAT IS THE ANTI-WHITE HATE. THAT FUELLED WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY. AND THEY (BLEEP) NOW! HE DIDN'T LAST LONG, SHOUTED OUT AND THEN CHASED AWAY BY DEMONSTRATORS. POLICE HAD TO STEP IN TO RESCUE MR KESSLER AND CALM THE CROWD. THEY WERE IN FORCE ACROSS CHARLOTTESVILLE, AS TENSIONS CONTINUED TO BOIL OVER. YOU SEE THAT? BLACK (BLEEP)ING POWER. JAMES FIELDS, THE DRIVER WHO ALLEGEDLY MOWED DOWN A GROUP OF DEMONSTRATORS, WILL FACE COURT TOMORROW, CHARGED WITH SECOND-DEGREE MURDER. HE'S BEEN LINKED WITH THE WHITE SUPREMACIST GROUP VANGUARD AMERICA. HIS VICTIM, HEATHER HEYER, A 32-YEAR-OLD PARALEGAL, REMEMBERED AS A WOMAN WHO DEDICATED HER LIFE TO FIGHTING AGAINST INJUSTICE. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE COME TOGETHER TO GRIEVE AND PAY THEIR RESPECTS. THERE'S STILL PLENTY OF TENSION AND ANGER IN THIS CITY. HERE AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY, PEOPLE ARE CONTINUING TO CALL ON THEIR PRESIDENT TO DIRECTLY CONDEMN THE FAR-RIGHT GROUPS INVOLVED IN THIS WEEKEND'S VIOLENCE. MARCUS MARTIN WAS STANDING NEXT TO HEATHER HEYER WHEN SHE WAS STRUCK. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP ABOUT THIS? I WANT YOU TO CALL THEM EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE. DON'T` TERRORISTS. THIS WAS A TERROR ATTACK. (ALL SING) A CITY IN PAIN SEARCHING FOR A LIGHT. JUST AHEAD ` THE FARMER TRYING TO IMPROVE WATER QUALITY BY DESIGNING A DEVICE THAT IS ALWAYS WATCHING THE WATER. PLUS ` YOU'VE SEEN THIS, RIGHT? WHAT THE ALL BLACKS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT STEVE HANSEN'S LEAD ROLE. THE HEALTH OF OUR RIVERS AND STREAMS IS PROVING TO BE A HOT ELECTION TOPIC. NOW A KIWI FARMER HAS TAKEN THE PROBLEM INTO HIS OWN HANDS, DEVELOPING A PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY THAT REMOTELY MONITORS WATER QUALITY. 'RIVERWATCH' IS ALREADY SPARKING INTEREST FROM BOTH FARMERS AND COUNCILS. BRIAR WELLS EXPLAINS. A PIECE OF KIWI INGENUITY THAT'S HOPED WILL HELP SAVE OUR WATERWAYS. NAMED THE 'RIVERWATCH', THIS GADGET IS DOING JUST THAT ` KEEPING AN EYE ON WATER QUALITY. WITH 450,000KM OF RIVER AND ONLY 8% ARE TESTED, SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY WATER QUALITY DATA AT ALL. THE BRAINCHILD OF WAIRARAPA FARMER GRANT MUIR, THE FLOATING SENSOR PICKS UP DATA 24-7 FROM A REMOTE LOCATION, FROM TEMPERATURE TO PH LEVELS. THEY'RE NOW WORKING TO INCLUDE E. COLI AND NITRATE SENSORS TOO. SENDING THE DATA BACK TO A WEBSITE, PROVIDING REAL-TIME INFORMATION AND A BETTER PICTURE OF RIVER HEALTH. WE NEED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM THAT WE'VE GOT AT THE MOMENT AROUND THE FRESH WATER CRISIS. AND THE WAY WE NEED TO SOLVE IT IS WITH SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY. EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE SWIMMING IN AND WHAT THEY ARE DRINKING. THEY'VE LAUNCHED A PLEDGEME CAMPAIGN TO HELP BUILD 10 PROTOTYPES FOR TESTING BEFORE GOING INTO COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION. THEY HOPE TO HAVE IT ON THE MARKET IN NOVEMBER. WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET THOUSANDS OF THESE THINGS OUT THROUGH ALL OUR RIVERS AND LAKES AND STREAMS, AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO BUILD THIS WONDERFUL WIREFRAME OF DATA. WITH CURRENT METHODS OF TESTING EXPENSIVE AND TIME CONSUMING, HE SAYS FARMERS ARE ALREADY SHOWING INTEREST IN USING RIVERWATCH. THEY WANT TO SEE JUST HOW GOOD THEIR WATER IS OR HOW BAD IT IS. THEY WANT TO ABLE TO SEE IF THE MONEY THEY'RE SPENDING ON THEIR FARM FOR INSTANCE, FENCING OFF OR PLANTING. THEY WANT TO SEE IF THAT'S GOING TO BE BENEFICIAL. ENLISTING THE HELP OF ALL KIWIS... TOGETHER LETS FIND OUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR WATER SO WE CAN PROTECT IT. ...TO GET THIS WORLD-FIRST PRODUCT OFF THE GROUND. BRIAR WELLS, 1 NEWS. 18 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED AND OTHERS WOUNDED IN A SUSPECTED TERROR ATTACK IN THE CAPITAL OF BURKINA FASO. GUNMEN OPENED FIRE ON CUSTOMERS SITTING OUTSIDE A RESTAURANT. ONE TURKISH CITIZEN DIED, BUT IT'S UNCLEAR THE NATIONALITIES OF THE OTHER VICTIMS. THE TWO ASSAILANTS WERE KILLED BY SECURITY FORCES. IT'S THOUGHT THE ATTACK MAY HAVE CARRIED OUT BY AN AFFILIATE OF AL-QAEDA THAT OPERATES IN THE REGION. CATHOLIC PRIESTS SHOULD BE FORCED TO REVEAL DETAILS OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE RECEIVED UNDER CONFESSION. THAT'S JUST ONE OF 85 CHANGES AN AUSTRALIAN INQUIRY HAS RECOMMENDED. THE ROYAL COMMISSION WANTS CLERGY WHO FAIL TO PASS ON INFORMATION ABOUT CHILDREN BEING HARMED TO FACE CRIMINAL CHARGES. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS ALREADY SIGNALLED IT WILL OPPOSE ANY MOVE TO WEAKEN THE SEAL OF THE CONFESSIONAL. ACTOR TOM CRUISE HAS BEEN INJURED DURING A STUNT ON THE LONDON SET OF HIS LATEST MOVIE 'MISSION IMPOSSIBLE SIX'. THE 55-YEAR-OLD ACTOR WAS ATTEMPTING A LONG LEAP FROM ONE BUILDING TO ANOTHER WHEN HE MADE A ROUGH LANDING. CRUISE LIMPING AFTER MISSING THAT MARK. NO WORD YET ON THE EXTENT OF HIS INJURIES. THE ALL BLACKS ARE IN SYDNEY ` YES, IN THAT SAME HOTEL ` AS THE BUILD-UP TO THE FIRST BLEDISLOE TEST BEGINS IN EARNEST. WHILE THE TEAM'S STEERING CLEAR OF SO-CALLED "SPYGATE", THEY COULDN'T AVOID QUESTIONS ABOUT STEVE HANSEN'S ACTING DEBUT. AUSTRALIA CORRESPONDENT KIMBERLEE DOWNS EXPLAINS. IT'S NOT OFTEN THE ALL BLACKS ARE SPEECHLESS, BUT THEN IT'S NOT OFTEN WE'VE SEEN STEVE HANSEN LIKE THIS. NEVER, EVER LOSE YOUR BISCUIT. HIS PLAYERS LEFT SEARCHING FOR WORDS AND PERHAPS A BIT OF DIPLOMACY. IT'S SORT OF FLOATING ROUND THE TEAM AT THE MOMENT, AND EVERYONE SEEMS TO ENJOY IT. IT HASN'T BEEN RAISED IN A TEAM MEETING YET, BUT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. THE SIDE QUICKLY SETTLING INTO SYDNEY TODAY AND DEFLECTING ANY QUESTIONS OVER THEIR SOMEWHAT INFAMOUS ACCOMMODATION. THERE WERE PLENTY OF EYEBROWS RAISED WHEN IT WAS CONFIRMED THE ALL BLACKS WERE STAYING HERE ` THE SAME HOTEL WHERE BUG-GATE WENT DOWN LAST YEAR, PARTICULARLY GIVEN THE COURT CASE IS DUE TO WRAP UP HERE IN SYDNEY THIS WEEK. LOOK, WE'RE FOCUSSING ON OUR FOOTY, SO WE'LL LET THE COURT TAKE CARE OF THAT. TO MORE PRESSING ISSUES ` BEAUDEN BARRETT'S HURRICANES TEAMMATE DANE COLES WAS IN THE GYM TODAY AFTER BEING RULED OUT OF THE TEST WITH HIS LATEST HEAD KNOCK; CODIE TAYLOR IN LINE TO START AT HOOKER, AS CONCUSSION ISSUES PROVE A CONSTANT PLAGUE. WHEN I HAD MY PROBLEMS, HE SENT ME A MESSAGE JUST SAYING HIS BEST METHOD WAS JUST TO STAY POSITIVE. BEN SMITH TAKING THAT POSITIVITY INTO HIS EXPECTED INTERNATIONAL RETURN AFTER HAVING TO SIT OUT MOST OF THE LIONS SERIES. AS A PLAYER, IT'S GREAT TO KNOW YOUR SAFETY'S FIRST. A LOT OF TIME, WHEN RUGBY FINISHES, TO DO OTHER THINGS, AND AT THAT POINT, WANT OUR HEALTH TO BE RIGHT. IN THE NEAR FUTURE, THOUGH, THE FOCUS IS ALL ABOUT SATURDAY AND A BLEDISLOE SHOWDOWN BETWEEN TWO TEAMS WITH A POINT TO PROVE. KIMBERLEE DOWNS, 1 NEWS, SYDNEY.
