TONIGHT ` TWO KOREAN TOURISTS REMAIN IN HOSPITAL AFTER BEING SWEPT AWAY ON A BEACH WALK. NOW THE POPULAR TOURIST ATTRACTION IN HAWKES BAY IS CLOSED, THREATENING TOURIST OPERATIONS. A PRINCE LAID BARE. PRINCE WILLIAM PUTS POLITICS ASIDE TO SHED LIGHT ON HIS OWN MENTAL STRUGGLES ALONGSIDE JACINDA ARDERN. AND THE WEATHER EXTREMES KEEP COMING. AFTER THE STORM THAT BROUGHT WILD WEATHER TO THE SOUTH, AUSTRALIA'S HEATWAVE IS HEADING OUR WAY. CAPTIONS BY STARSHA SAMARASINGHE AND ELIZABETH WELSH. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. WWW.ABLE.CO.NZ COPYRIGHT ABLE 2019 KIA ORA. GOOD EVENING. A HUGE ROCKFALL THAT LEFT TWO KOREAN TOURISTS SERIOUSLY INJURED NOW THREATENS THE FUTURE OF A HAWKE'S BAY TOURIST ATTRACTION. THE SAFETY OF THE RUGGED COASTLINE BETWEEN CLIFTON AND CAPE KIDNAPPERS IS NOW BEING ASSESSED. SEAN HOGAN IS THERE. THE DESTINATION IS SPECIAL, (GRAND MUSIC) THE JOURNEY ` SPECTACULAR. THERE'S STILL MORE TO EXPERIENCE. (CRASHING, WIND HOWLS) BUT NOW, THIS PREVENTS TOURISTS FROM TAKING THE COASTAL ROUTE TO THE GANNET COLONIES OF CAPE KIDNAPPERS. AS YOU CAN SEE BEHIND ME, HUGE AMOUNTS OF DIRT AND VERY LARGE BOULDERS HAVE BEEN PUSHED DOWN ON TO THE BEACH AND IN TO THE WATER. IT MAKES THE TRACK ALMOST IMPASSABLE. IT ALSO HIT TWO TOURISTS HIKING BELOW. IT WAS A FRESH ROCK FALL THAT THEY WERE WALKING THROUGH. BASICALLY, A FURTHER AMOUNT FELL OFF THE CLIFF AND SORT OF WORKED IN AN AVALANCHE-TYPE EFFECT WHERE IT BASICALLY GRABBED THEM AND SWEPT THEM OUT INTO THE SEA. THE COUPLE IN THEIR TWENTIES WERE WALKING INDEPENDENT OF A TOUR GROUP. BUT THE GANNET BEACH ADVENTURES TRACTOR, SEEN HERE IN THEIR PROMOTIONAL VIDEO, WAS NOT FAR BEHIND. STAFF AND PASSENGERS HELPED IN THE RESCUE. AS I ARRIVED ON THE SCENE, AND THESE TWO INJURED PEOPLE WERE STILL IN THE SEA. FIRST OFF, IT'S LIKE, 'OH, HOW INJURED ARE THEY?' THEY WERE CONSCIOUS, SO THAT'S A RELIEF. THEN WE ASSESSED THEM FOR INJURIES, AND THE PUBLIC ` OUR PASSENGERS ARE THERE DOING THAT ASSESSMENT AS WELL. THE TWO WERE AIRLIFTED TO HAWKE'S BAY HOSPITAL, WHERE THE MAN IS NOW IN A STABLE CONDITION, THE WOMAN CRITICAL. TODAY, SOME WANTED A CLOSER LOOK. IT'S SUCH AN AWESOME ENVIRONMENT HERE, AND IT JUST SHOWS WHAT THE FORCE OF NATURE CAN DO, AND WE JUST NEED TO RESPECT IT. OTHERS WERE TURNED AWAY BY THE WARNING SIGN. I WANTED TO SEE THE GANNET COLONY OVER THERE, AND IT SEEMS TO BE CLOSED. COUNCIL ARE BRINGING IN GEOTECHNICAL EXPERTS TO ASSESS THE SAFETY OF THE BEACH. THE NATURAL EROSION MEANS THAT THAT IS A DANGEROUS COASTLINE. WE NEED TO KNOW WHETHER THERE IS A HEIGHTENED DANGER THAT WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IN TERMS OF PUBLIC SAFETY. ALTHOUGH TOUR GROUPS ARE STILL ABLE TO TRAVEL OVERLAND TO SEE THE GANNETS, IF THE BEACH IS CLOSED, THERE ARE FEARS TOUR OPERATORS COULD GO OUT OF BUSINESS. SEAN HOGAN, 1NEWS JACINDA ARDERN HAS SHARED A TOUCHING ROYAL MOMENT WITH PRINCE WILLIAM AT THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM IN SWITZERLAND. THE PAIR WERE TOGETHER ON STAGE TO DISCUSS MENTAL HEALTH. OUR EUROPE CORRESPONDENT JOY REID REPORTS FROM DAVOS. JACINDA ARDERN TAKING THE STAGE WITH ROYALTY. PRINCE WILLIAM, HIS VOICE CRACKING, SHARED HIS OWN STRUGGLES WITH MENTAL ILLNESS WHILE FLYING AN AIR AMBULANCE. THE WHOLE TEAM WAS VERY AFFECTED BY THIS ONE PARTICULAR JOB. I STILL FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO TALK ABOUT IT. I GET VERY EMOTIONAL ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT RELATES VERY CLOSELY TO MY CHILDREN. I KNOW THAT IF I HADN'T TAKEN THE ACTION THAT I DID THEN, I WOULD'VE DEFINITELY GONE DOWN A SLIPPERY SLOPE. DEALING WITH STIGMAS TOO. THE FUTURE KING REVEALED NOT ONE SINGLE CELEBRITY WANTED IN WHEN HE STARTED HIS MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS CHARITY. WE RAN OUT TO A LOT OF PEOPLE, AND NOBODY, BEFORE WE STARTED, WAS INTERESTED IN BEING A PART OF 'HEADS TOGETHER' ` BECAUSE IT WAS MENTAL HEALTH. I DO WANT TO PAY TRIBUTE TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS. I JUST DON'T THINK YOU CAN UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER AT AN INTERNATIONAL LEVEL OF YOU HAVING SPOKEN SO OPENLY. MENTAL HEALTH IS A KEY ISSUE AT THE FORUM BECAUSE IT'S FORECAST TO COST THE GLOBAL ECONOMY NEARLY $24 TRILLION BY 2030. NEW ZEALAND SPENDS 9% OF ITS HEALTH BUDGET ON MENTAL HEALTH. THE PRIME MINISTER OF NEW ZEALAND, SHE UNDERSTANDS AND SHE GETS THIS ` THAT THIS IS A GENERATIONAL ISSUE AND THAT WE'VE GOT TO START TACKLING IT NOW. IT'S AN ISSUE CENTRAL TO THE GOVERNMENT'S UPCOMING WELL-BEING BUDGET, WHICH IS CATCHING THE EYE OF WORLD LEADERS AND ORGANISATIONS IN DAVOS. YEAH, FOR BUDGET 2019, ESSENTIALLY MINISTERS WILL NEED TO SHOW THAT WHAT THEY'RE DOING WILL IMPROVE THE WELL-BEING OF NEW ZEALANDERS ACROSS GENERATIONS. WE ARE, THOUGH, AMONGST THE FIRST TAKING IT TO THE EXTENT THAT WE ARE, WHICH IS WHY SO MANY ARE WATCHING, AND WITH INTEREST. THE OECD, A GLOBAL COLLECTIVE FOCUSSING ON ECONOMIC PROGRESS, SAYS IT'LL REPORT ON THE INITIATIVE LATER THIS YEAR. WITH SO MANY NATIONS REPRESENTED HERE AT DAVOS, THERE ARE LOTS OF MEETINGS HAPPENING IN THE MARGINS, AND PRIME MINISTER JACINDA ARDERN IS PRIORITIZING ONE-ON-ONES WITH EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRY LEADERS, JUST AS NEW ZEALAND IS TRYING TO NEGOTIATE A FREE-TRADE DEAL WITH THE BLOC. I'M GOING TO MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY SINGLE JETLAGGED MOMENT I HAVE. AND IT APPEARS THAT SHE HAS. A SEARING HEATWAVE HAS SEEN THE MERCURY IN PARTS OF AUSTRALIA REACH THE HIGH 40'S, WITH ADELAIDE BREAKING ITS ALL-TIME HEAT RECORD. IT'S KILLED ANIMALS AND SPARKED FEARS OF BUSH FIRES AND POWERCUTS. A WARNING ` AUSTRALIA CORRESPONDENT KIMBERLEE DOWNS' REPORT BEGINS WITH SOME GRAPHIC IMAGES. IN THE HEART OF AUSTRALIA'S OUTBACK, A DEVASTATING SIGHT. DOZENS OF BRUMBIES PERISHING, LIKELY FROM DEHYDRATION. MORE STRUGGLING WILD HORSES WERE SHOT AS THE RED CENTRE REELS, GRIPPED BY A DANGEROUS HEATWAVE SWEEPING THE COUNTRY. BOTH NATIONALLY AND IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA, WE ARE SEEING RECORDS TUMBLE. TODAY IT'S SOUTH AUSTRALIA THAT'S PARTICULARLY AT RISK. OFFICIALS WARNING OF... ...A HORROR DAY. ADELAIDE TOPPLED THE PREVIOUS RECORD IN 1939. THIS MAP SHOWS HOW THE HEAT IS INTENSIFYING THROUGHOUT THE DAY. IN SOME PARTS OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA, IT'S MORE THAN 15 DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE. PEOPLE ARE SEEKING OUT THE WATER TO COOL DOWN. SO TOO IS THE WILDLIFE, WHILE EMERGENCY SERVICES ARE ON HIGH ALERT. IT'S IMPORTANT FOR SOUTH AUSTRALIANS TO CONSIDER THAT THIS IS NOT SIMPLY SUMMER WEATHER. THE CONDITIONS DO PRESENT A VERY REAL RISK. NON-URGENT SURGERIES HAVE BEEN POSTPONED TO MAKE ROOM FOR PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM THE OPPRESSIVE HEAT. FIREFIGHTERS ATTEMPTING TO HEAD OFF THE WORST OUTCOMES BY ISSUING BLUNT WARNINGS. IF A FIRE DOES START WITH THESE FORECAST WEATHER CONDITIONS, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL THAT FIRE. SO COMMUNITIES ARE AT RISK; OUR FIREFIGHTERS ARE AT RISK; ALL EMERGENCY SERVICES ARE AT RISK. IT COMES AS FIREFIGHTERS IN TASMANIA, INCLUDING A CONTINGENT OF NEW ZEALANDERS, CONTINUE TO BATTLE BUSHFIRES THERE. LOOK AT THAT GO UP THERE. AT LEAST ONE PROPERTY'S BEEN LOST, AND CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO WORSEN ON THE ISLAND TOMORROW WHEN THE HEATWAVE MOVES EAST. THAT'LL ALSO RAISE THE TEMPERATURE FURTHER IN AN ALREADY SWELTERING VICTORIA. THE STATE IS HOPING TO AVOID POWER OUTAGES AS THE GRID IS PUSHED TO ITS LIMIT, WITH THE MERCURY EXPECTED TO REACH 43 DEGREES IN MELBOURNE TOMORROW AND UNLIKELY TO DROP BELOW 29 DEGREES OVERNIGHT. IT HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY SWELTERING ACROSS LARGE PARTS OF AUSTRALIA TODAY, WITH NONE COPPING IT WORSE THAN SOUTH AUSTRALIA AS THAT HEATWAVE ROLLED ACROSS THE STATE, SMASHING RECORDS AS IT WENT. ADELAIDE NOTCHING ITS HIGHEST RECORDED TEMPERATURE WHEN IT WENT PAST 46.1 DEGREES EARLY THIS AFTERNOON, WHILE OUTSIDE THE MAIN CENTRES, TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO STILL REACH AS HIGH AS 49 DEGREES. NOW THIS IS, OF COURSE, CAUSING MAJOR CONCERN FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES, AS HEAT-RELATED ILLNESSES, FIRES AND BLACKOUTS THREATEN. BUT THE GOOD NEWS FOR ADELAIDE IS THAT IT IS EXPECTED TO COOL INTO THE 30S TOMORROW AS THIS HEATWAVE MOVES ON TO THE EAST AND IT STARTS TO FIX ITS FOCUS MORE FIRMLY ON VICTORIA, WITH MELBOURNE EXPECTING TEMPERATURES AS HIGH AS 43 DEGREES AND AN OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURE OF 29 DEGREES. IT IS ALSO EXPECTED TO MEAN THAT CONDITIONS WORSEN FOR FIRE FIGHTERS BATTLING BUSH FIRES IN TASMANIA. THE HEAT WAVE WILL THEN EVENTUALLY MOVE ON ACROSS THE TASMAN TO NEW ZEALAND. FOR MORE ON WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM THE HEATWAVE, HERE'S 1 NEWS WEATHERMAN, DAN CORBETT. WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO START SEEING THE HINTS OF IT OVER THE WEEKEND, AND YOU'LL ALWAYS SEE THE BIG HEAT BUILD IN AUSTRALIA, BUT THIS TIME IT'S GOING TO BUILD AND IT'S ALMOST GOING TO START OOZING ITS WAY TOWARDS US OVER THE WEEKEND. TYPICALLY JUST EASTERN PARTS OF THE COUNTRY, BUT THEN AS IT GETS BIGGER AND IT EXPANDS, BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK, WE COULD SEE IT ACROSS MANY OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY, AND WE'RE TALKING SOME UPPER-20s, MAYBE EVEN 30s. SO ICE BLOCK TIME FOR MANY PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. TO THE AFTERMATH OF A POWERFUL STORM WHICH BLASTED THROUGH PARTS OF CENTRAL OTAGO AND CANTERBURY OVERNIGHT. GALE FORCE WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN TOPPLED TREES AND KNOCKED OUT POWER TO THOUSANDS ACROSS THE REGION. JESS CARTWRIGHT REPORTS. ROLLING QUICKLY THROUGH THE SOUTH ISLAND, THIS STORM PACKED A PUNCH. (WIND HOWLS) WINDS SO STRONG, TREES WERE PULLED FROM THE GROUND. IN QUEENSTOWN, GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 100 KM/H CAUSED HAVOC, FORCING SEVERAL ROADS TO BE CLOSED OVERNIGHT WHILE CREWS WORKED TO CLEAR THE MESS LEFT BEHIND. THE WILD WEATHER CUTTING POWER TO MORE THAN 4000 ACROSS CENTRAL OTAGO. ON THE QUEENSTOWN-GLENORCHY ROAD, TOPPLED TREES TOOK POWER LINES DOWN WITH THEM, LEAVING MANY RESIDENTS STRANDED. WE JUST CAME UP TO DO THE WEEKLY SHOPPING AND JOBS YESTERDAY, GOT STUCK IN THE STORM, AND HAD AN EXPENSIVE NIGHT IN QUEENSTOWN. THE ROAD RE-OPENING THIS MORNING, BUT FRUSTRATED LOCALS SAY IT'S A RECURRING PROBLEM WHENEVER WEATHER HITS THIS AREA. IT'S ALWAYS AT BOB'S COVE. WE NEED TO DIG A LITTLE 2 KILOMETRE DITCH, PUT THE POWER LINES IN, AND THAT WILL PROBABLY BE THE END OF THAT. FURTHER NORTH, A LARGE SLIP CLOSED ARTHUR'S PASS OVERNIGHT. THIS FOOTAGE FROM OTIRA GORGE SHOWING JUST HOW MUCH WATER CAME DOWN. ELSEWHERE, IN CHRISTCHURCH, TRAMPOLINES WENT FLYING AND TREES WERE SNAPPED IN TWO. ONE FALLING ONTO A HOUSE, CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THIS BOY'S BEDROOM. IT CAME DOWN QUITE FAR, AND CRACKED MY WHOLE ENTIRE ROOM. WHILE POWER IS BACK ON FOR MOST, SOME ARE STILL HAVING TO RELY ON GENERATORS TONIGHT AS THE CLEAN-UP CONTINUES. JESS CARTWRIGHT, 1NEWS. A CULTURE OF BULLYING AND HARASSMENT AT FIRE AND EMERGENCY NEW ZEALAND HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF A DAMNING REPORT. THE INDEPENDENT REVIEW FOUND ALMOST HALF THOSE SURVEYED HAD WITNESSED OR EXPERIENCED BEHAVIOUR, INCLUDING SEXISM, RACISM AND HOMOPHOBIA. IT WAS OFTEN EXCUSED BECAUSE THE PERPETRATOR WAS PERCEIVED TO BE A 'HERO FIREFIGHTER' OR AN IMPORTANT MANAGER. EXAMPLES INCLUDED A SENIOR FIGURE USING TERMS LIKE 'CHINKS' AND 'CURRIES' TO DESCRIBE CHINESE OR INDIAN PEOPLE. ONE PARTICIPANT SAID THEY'D EVEN BEEN THREATENED WITH PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AS PUNISHMENT. THE REPORT ILLUSTRATES MANY PEOPLE'S STORIES, AND EACH OF THOSE IS DESIGNED TO BE IN THAT REPORT TO SHOW OUR PEOPLE THIS ISN'T JUST ONE OR TWO INCIDENTS. THIS IS A REAL CONSISTENT ISSUE WITHIN US. THE ORGANISATION'S ACCEPTED ALL 33 RECOMMENDATIONS, WITH IMMEDIATE AND LONG-TERM PLANS TO IMPLEMENT CHANGES. HE'S ONE OF NEW ZEALAND'S LONGEST-SERVING PRISONERS, BUT NEXT MONTH, ARTHUR TAYLOR WILL BE RELEASED FROM PRISON. THE 62-YEAR-OLD WAS GRANTED PAROLE THIS AFTERNOON. HE'S SPENT THE BEST PART OF THE LAST 40 YEARS BEHIND BARS ` HIS MOST RECENT SENTENCE RELATES TO DRUG AND FIREARMS CHARGES. IN 1998 HE ESCAPED FROM AUCKLAND PRISON SPARKING A MASSIVE POLICE HUNT. HE WAS RE-CAPTURED ON THE COROMANDEL PENINSULA SOME DAYS LATER. MOST RECENTLY HE'S HAD SUCCESS AS A PRISON LAWYER, CHALLENGING SMOKING AND VOTING RIGHTS FOR PRISONERS AND WINNING A PERJURY CASE AGAINST A FELLOW PRISONER. THE NEW POLITICAL BATTLE LINES FOR 2019 WERE DRAWN AT RATANA TODAY. WITH PRIME MINISTER JACINDA ARDERN IN EUROPE, WINSTON PETERS LED THE GOVERNMENT DELEGATION AND QUICKLY BUTTED HEADS WITH NATIONAL LEADER SIMON BRIDGES. HERE'S POLITICAL REPORTER BENEDICT COLLINS. POLITICIANS ARRIVING AT RATANA TO MARK THE OFFICIAL START OF THE POLITICAL YEAR. AND KICKING OFF ON A LIGHTER NOTE... YOU'VE GOT THE GREENS, THE LABOUR PARTY, THE NEW ZEALAND FIRST PARTY, COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE PEOPLE'S PARTY. (LAUGHTER) ALL HERE TODAY ON A UNITED FRONT. WE FEEL WE'VE DONE THE MAHI; LABOUR GETS THE VOTES. THAT IS NOT ENTIRELY TRUE, BECAUSE IAN MCKELVIE, YOUR GENERAL SEAT LOCAL MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT, AT THE LAST ELECTION, HE GOT ONE VOTE AT THE POLLING BOOTH HERE, AND THAT WAS SOMEONE WHO GOT LOST. (LAUGHTER) IT WASN'T A PARTICULARLY FLASH END TO 2018 FOR EITHER THE GOVERNMENT, WITH THE KAREL SROUBEK DILEMMA, OR FOR THE NATIONAL PARTY, WHEN JAMI-LEE ROSS WENT ROGUE. SO WHAT'S IN STORE IN 2019? I ASKED OUR POLITICAL LEADERS FOR THEIR PREDICTIONS. THE BIG TALK, WHETHER IT'S BEEN ON HOUSING, AS WE'VE SEEN IN THE LAST FEW DAYS, ON POVERTY, ON A BUNCH OF THINGS, WON'T LIVE UP TO THE REALITY. OUT OF EVERY FOUR VOTERS THAT SAY THEY WANT THE NATIONAL PARTY, LESS THAN ONE WANTS HIM. WINSTON PETERS' PREDICTION FOR THIS YEAR WAS THAT YOU MIGHT NOT BE NATIONAL'S LEADER BY THE END OF IT. WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT? I FEEL GREAT. I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A CHALLENGING YEAR FOR THE GOVERNMENT, AND I'M CERTAINLY GOING TO DO MY BIT TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE CHALLENGING. THE PRIME MINISTER'S ABSENCE WAS NOTED TODAY. LABOUR HAD BEEN CRITICAL OF JOHN KEY WHEN HE DIDN'T ATTEND. SHE WOULD BE DISAPPOINTED HERSELF THAT SHE CAN'T BE HERE, BUT THERE ARE OTHER CALLS ON HER TIME. ULTIMATELY, DAVOS, IT'S POLITICAL TOURISM. THERE'S NOTHING TO BE LEARNED OVER THERE. BUT THOSE AT RATANA AREN'T TOO BOTHERED. SHE'S REPRESENTING US OVER THERE. YEAH. IT'S ALL GOOD. WINNIE'S HERE. AT THE END OF THE DAY, SHE CONSULTED THE RIGHT PEOPLE THAT NEEDED TO BE CONSULTED. THEY'RE MORE INTERESTED IN WHETHER THE GOVERNMENT WILL DELIVER FOR THEM IN THE YEAR AHEAD. BENEDICT COLLINS, 1 NEWS. STILL TO COME ` AN INFLUENTIAL AUSTRALIAN BLOGGER IS CHARGED WITH ESPIONAGE IN CHINA, AND NOW HE COULD FACE THE DEATH PENALTY. PLUS A GRAND SLAM OF A DIFFERENT KIND. VOGUE EDITOR ANNA WINTOUR BLASTS A TENNIS LEGEND OVER HER ANTI-GAY VIEWS. AN AUSTRALIAN NOVELIST AND BLOGGER COULD FACE THE DEATH PENALTY IN CHINA AFTER HE WAS CHARGED WITH ESPIONAGE. THE LAWYER FOR THE FATHER OF TWO SAYS HE WAS DETAINED ON ARRIVAL IN THE COUNTRY. CHANNEL NINE'S DAVINA SMITH REPORTS. YANG HENGJUN WRITES ONLINE ESPIONAGE NOVELS, FICTION, ALLEGEDLY INSPIRED BY TRUTH. THE FATHER OF TWO WAS ONCE A CHINESE DIPLOMAT, THEN HE MOVED TO AMERICA. HE HAS AUSTRALIAN CITIZENSHIP AND REGULARLY COMMENTATES ON CHINA. THE GOVERNMENT CONTROLS MONEY, POWER AND THE PEOPLE ` AND EVEN THE PEOPLES' MINDS. PROLIFIC ON TWITTER, YANG FELL SILENT SIX DAYS AGO ` THE SAME DAY HE FLEW FROM NEW YORK TO GUANGZHOU AIRPORT WITH FAMILY. MINISTER, DO YOU KNOW WHY HE'S BEING HELD? WE ARE STILL SEEKING INFORMATION ON THAT. AS I SAID, WE'RE SEEKING CLARIFICATION FROM THE CHINESE AUTHORITIES AS A MATTER OF PRIORITY` IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH THOUGH? ...ON THE NATURE OF THE DETENTION AND ANY POSSIBLE CHARGES. CHINA MUST ADVISE OUR GOVERNMENT WITHIN THREE DAYS IF THEY'RE HOLDING AN AUSTRALIAN. NOTICE DIDN'T COME THROUGH UNTIL LATE YESTERDAY. IT APPEARS TO HAVE TAKEN AT LEAST FIVE DAYS AND THE AGITATION OF SOME OF THIS GENTLEMEN'S FRIENDS TO LET PEOPLE KNOW. OBVIOUSLY, THAT IS DISAPPOINTING. DEFENCE MINISTER CHRISTOPHER PYNE IS IN BEIJING, WHERE YANG IS NOW BEING HELD AT A LOCAL HOME. BUT AS YET, HE'S NOT BEEN PROVIDED WITH CONSULATE SUPPORT. FRIENDS HAD WARNED THE WRITER HE WASN'T SAFE, ESPECIALLY AMID THE DIPLOMATIC STRUGGLE BETWEEN CHINA AND THE WEST, AFTER CANADA DETAINED AN EXECUTIVE FROM CHINESE TECH GIANT HUAWEI. IT COULD BE ABOUT A PATTERN OF SIGNALLING TO CHINESE AUSTRALIANS ` DON'T CRITICISE THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY, DON'T CRITICISE THE REGIME; SOONER OR LATER, YOU'LL BE PUNISHED. FOR NOW THOUGH, THERE'LL BE NO CHANGE TO TRAVEL ADVICE FOR AUSTRALIANS HEADING TO CHINA AS OUR CONSULATE STAFF DESPERATELY WORK BEHIND THE SCENES JUST TO GET ACCESS TO YANG AND ESTABLISH WHY HE'S BEING HELD. WORLD-RENOWNED FASHION ICON ANNA WINTOUR HAS BLASTED THE AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTER AND TENNIS STAR MARGARET COURT OVER GAY RIGHTS. THE VOGUE EDITOR USED A SPEECH AT THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN TO MAKE HER POLITICAL VIEWS KNOWN. CHANNEL 9'S MADELINE SLATTERY REPORTS. SHE'S BEST KNOWN FOR HER SIGNATURE BOB AND SUNGLASSES, BUT U.S. VOGUE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF ANNA WINTOUR IS HERE TO TALK ABOUT MORE THAN WHAT WE'RE WEARING. I HAVE BEEN ALARMED BY YOUR PRIME MINISTER'S RECORD ON LGBTQ RIGHTS, WHICH SEEMS BACKWARD. A GUEST OF TENNIS AUSTRALIA, THE FASHION QUEEN HELD COURT, EVEN REIGNITING THE DEBATE OVER THE NAME OF MARGARET COURT ARENA. I FIND THAT IT IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE SPORT FOR MARGARET COURT'S NAME TO BE ON A STADIUM THAT DOES SO MUCH TO BRING ALL PEOPLE TOGETHER ACROSS THEIR DIFFERENCES. THE 69-YEAR-OLD HAS BEEN AT THE HELM OF VOGUE FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS, BUT THIS IS HER FIRST TRIP DOWN UNDER. AND AS A SELF-CONFESSED TENNIS FANATIC, SHE CAN NOW TICK THE AUS OPEN OFF HER GRAND SLAM LIST. WINTOUR HAS BEEN COURTSIDE, WATCHING ROGER FEDERER AND SERENA WILLIAMS, WHO SHE COUNTS AS CLOSE FRIENDS. FACES FROM THE FASHION WORLD AND THE SPORTING SCENE WALKED THE RED CARPET AT TODAY'S INTERNATIONAL SERIES TALK. TOMORROW, EMERGING DESIGNERS WILL BE EAGER TO MEET THE WOMAN THOUGHT TO HAVE INSPIRED 'THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA'. TO BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET YOUNG DESIGNERS TOMORROW MORNING WITH US HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. WHEN IT COMES TIME TO PACK HER SUITCASES, ANNA WINTOUR WON'T BE TAKING ALL HER OUTFITS WITH HER. SHE'LL LEAVE TWO BEHIND, INCLUDING A CHANEL SUIT AND A GOWN SHE WORE TO THE MET GALA. THEY'LL BOTH BE DONATED TO THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF VICTORIA. THE PIECES WILL FORM PART OF THE PERMANENT COLLECTION. AN AMAZING SILVER DRESS THAT KARL CREATED FOR ME FOR THE OPENING OF 'SUPERHEROES'.
