TONIGHT ON 1 NEWS ` A DAMNING APPRAISAL ON ITSELF ` THE DEFENCE FORCE DOCUMENTS MAJOR FAILURES IN HELPING LOCALS DURING CYCLONE GABRIELLE, INCLUDING NOT BEING ALLOWED TO GIVE OUT FRESH DRINKING WATER. WHAT'S BEING DONE ABOUT IT NOW. THAT` THAT'S SILLY. THAT'S A JOKE. PROTESTERS OUTSIDE, AND SUPPORTERS INSIDE ` BUCKLE UP AS WINSTON PETER'S DELIVERS A FIERY STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS. WHAT POLICY FROM THE FORMER GOVERNMENT DID THE NEW ZEALAND FIRST LEADER COMPARE TO NAZI GERMANY? PLUS... I GOT TWO FISH SO FAR. WHATEVER THE CATCH, WHY THIS SURF CASTING COMP IN THE FAR NORTH CONTINUES TO LURE COMPETITORS FROM ALL AROUND THE COUNTRY. CAPTIONS BY JOHN GIBBS AND ANNA HALL-TAYLOR. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. WWW.ABLE.CO.NZ ABLE 2024 TENA KOUTOU KATOA. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. THEY WERE SENT IN TO HELP, BUT ACCORDING TO THE NEW ZEALAND DEFENCE FORCE'S INTERNAL DOCUMENTS, THE DEPARTMENT'S REACTION TO CYCLONE GABRIELLE CREATED A POTENTIAL HEADACHE. 1 NEWS HAS EXCLUSIVE DETAILS ABOUT WHAT OUR MILITARY BELIEVES WERE SHORTCOMINGS IN ITS AID EFFORTS. AND AS OUR HAWKES BAY BASED REPORTER HENRY MCMULLAN EXPLAINS, THE DISASTER'S SHAPING HOW THEY'LL RESPOND TO FUTURE EVENTS. WHEN CYCLONE GABRIELLE STRUCK, THE NEW ZEALAND DEFENCE FORCE SPRUNG INTO ACTION. IT WAS MASSIVE, BUT IN THE END WE USE PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING THAT WE HAD AVAILABLE. SUPPLIES QUICKLY LOADED ONTO NAVY SHIPS, LIKE THESE TANKS OF WATER BOUND FOR GISBORNE DURING A WATER CRISIS, BUT HAS NOW BEEN REVEALED THAT THIS WASN'T ABLE TO BE USED FOR DRINKING BECAUSE THE DEFENCE FORCE IS NOT A CERTIFIED SUPPLIER. WE'RE WORKING WITH THE WATER REGULATION AUTHORITIES TO DEVELOP A WAY IN WHICH WE CAN TEST AND DELIVER WATER. THAT'S A STEP THAT WE NEED TO NOW IMPLEMENT. ONE NEWS HAS RECEIVED COPIES OF REPORTS FROM DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS REVIEWING THEIR RESPONSE. ONE DOCUMENT HIGHLIGHTING HOW SENDING THE WRONG ITEMS POTENTIALLY CAUSED A HEADACHE, NOT HELP. IN THE DAYS FOLLOWING THE CYCLONE, MANY LOCALS WERE WONDERING WHY THE DEFENCE FORCE WAS MISSING IN THE CLEAN-UP ACTION. IT'S GUTTING REALLY, BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN SLOGGING OUR GUTS OUT. IT WOULD BE GOOD TO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF SUPPORT FROM THE AUTHORITIES. WE'VE NOW LEARNT SOME PERSONNEL WERE TOLD TO STAND DOWN FROM CLEANING HOMES DUE TO HEALTH CONCERNS OR INSUFFICIENT P.P.E. (LAUGHS) THAT'S SILLY. THAT'S A JOKE. BECAUSE WE WERE IN OUR JANDALS. WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE WERE WE WERE JUST CLEANING OUT, HELPING NEIGHBOURS, YOU KNOW, DOING IT ALL OURSELVES. SO THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AMAZING TO HAVE SOME BOYS DOWN HERE THAT, CAN JUST GET ON WITH THE JOB AND, YOU KNOW... IT WOULD HAVE BEEN- WOULD HAVE MADE IT A LOT EASIER. NOBODY CAME TO HELP US. AND THESE PEOPLE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE TRAINED. TRAINED TO HELP US PEOPLE IN NEED, BUT THEY'VE BEEN HELD UP BY RED TAPE. THAT'S NOT ON. THERE ARE ALSO BASIC TRAINING GAPS THAT IN SOME CASES CAUSED DELAYS IN DEPLOYMENT. COMMUNICATION ISSUES EVIDENT TOO. WITHIN THE MILITARY, WE HAVE A SAYING, WHICH IS THAT WE TRAIN FOR THE EXPECTED AND WE EDUCATE FOR THE UNEXPECTED. THESE ARE KIND OF THINGS THAT WE WILL TAKE FOR ACTION TO MAKE SURE THAT NEXT TIME IT COMES ALONG, WE WON'T BE CAUGHT OUT BY THESE... I'D CALL THEM SMALLER GLITCHES. ONE REVIEW MADE MORE THAN 30 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE FUTURE. SO YOU LITERALLY GET THE KITCHEN SINK WHEN IT COMES TO THINGS THAT COULD BE DONE BETTER. SOME OF THEM ARE SMALL AND TACTICAL, SOME OF THEM ARE SYSTEMIC AND WE'LL APPLY THOSE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE COMMANDER OF JOINT FORCES HAS SHARED HIS PERSPECTIVE ON THE MISSION. STATIONED IN THE WELLINGTON COMMAND CENTRE, HE WAS OVERSEEING MORE THAN 1000 PERSONNEL ON THE GROUND. I'M IMMENSELY PROUD OF HOW WE SUPPORTED NEW ZEALAND AND NEW ZEALANDERS. PROUD BUT ACCEPTING IT WASN'T THE PERFECT RESPONSE. HOPEFULLY IT WILL CHANGE. I MEAN, WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF FAITH THAT IT MIGHT CHANGE. WHAT COMES NEXT? WELL, WE'LL HAVE TO BE READY FOR IT. BUT HE'S UNABLE TO CONFIRM ALL THE PROBLEMS HIGHLIGHTED HAVE BEEN FIXED. ABSOLUTELY. EVERY TIME THAT WE DO SOMETHING, WE WILL BE LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN IMPROVE. ASSURING KIWIS THAT NEXT TIME, THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT. LET'S BRING IN HENRY NOW FROM ESK VALLEY. LET'S BRING IN HENRY NOW FROM ESK VALLEY. ONE OF THE REGIONS BADLY AFFECTED BY CYCLONE GABRIEL. HENRY, HOW WILL THE NZDF MAKE SURE THESE FAILINGS DON'T HAPPEN AGAIN? THAT SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING EFFORT. WE DID TRY TO SPEAK TO THE MINISTER OF DEFENCE FOR THE STORY, BUT SHE DENIED OUR INTERVIEW REQUEST, AND INSTEAD SAID IT IS AN OPERATIONAL MATTER. IT DID PAINT A CONCERNING PICTURE OF WERE WE REALLY PREPARED OR ARE WE PREPARED FOR THE FUTURE? THESE WERE INTERNAL DEFENCE FORCE REVIEWS, NOT THE WIDER CYCLING GABRIEL REVIEW, WHICH ANALYSED ALL DOCUMENTS. THOSE REVIEWS WILL COME OUT IN THE NEXT MONTHUT WINSTON PETERS HAS LIKENED CO-GOVERNANCE TO NAZI GERMANY IN A FIERY STATE OF THE NATION SPEECH IN PALMERSTON NORTH. IN FRONT OF A PACKED CROWD THE DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER SLAMMED THE STATE OF THE COUNTRY AND HIS POLITICAL OPPONENTS. SENIOR POLITICAL REPORTER BENEDICT COLLINS WAS THERE. IT WAS A ROWDY RECEPTION FOR WINSTON PETERS. # WINSTON PETERS, YOU CAN'T HIDE. WE CHARGE YOU WITH GENOCIDE # INSIDE, NEW ZEALAND FIRST LEADER USING HIS STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS TO CELEBRATE HIS OWN POLITICAL RESUSCITATION. WE GOT KNOCKED DOWN BUT WE GOT UP AGAIN. AND OUR DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER SPENT MOST OF HIS SPEECH BEMOANING THE STATE OF NEW ZEALAND. WE CAN'T FIX THE STATE OF THE COUNTRY UNTIL WE ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. HIS SUPPORTERS WERE CLEAR WHY THEY'D TURNED UP. EVERYTHING HE SAID ABOUT MOSTLY THE VACCINE, AND THAT HE TURNED UP TO THE PARLIAMENT PROTESTERS, THAT WAS A GOOD THING FOR ME. I WOULDN'T MISS IT FOR THE WORLD. I'VE GOT TO FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN NEW ZEALAND. WE DON'T GET IT FROM THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA. AND MR PETERS STUCK TO HIS PLAYBOOK, DELIVERING HIS GREATEST HITS... RIPPING ON MIGRATION NUMBERS... WE'RE NOT XENOPHOBIC; WE'RE JUST NOT ZOMBIES. ..AND THE MEDIA... BY THE WAY, CAN I JUST SAY, TO OUR FRIENDS IN THE MEDIA... WELCOME BACK! HE EVEN INVOKED NAZIS WHILE DISCUSSING CO-GOVERNANCE. THEIR DNA MADE THEM SOMEHOW BETTER THAN OTHERS. I'VE SEEN THAT SORT OF PHILOSOPHY BEFORE; I SAW IT IN NAZI GERMANY, WE ALL DID. HOW DO YOU THINK THAT WOULD MAKE THE JEWISH COMMUNITY FEEL? ARE YOU A CLAIRVOYANT? I THINK THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING. HE SAVED SOME VENOM FOR THE GREENS... THEY COULDN'T RUN THE SCHOOL TUCKSHOP. ..AND LABOUR... JUST RECENTLY, IN A THING THAT WAS VERY APPOSITE AS TO ITS TITLE, THE LABOUR PARTY WENT AND HAD A RETREAT (LAUGHS). AND THE FOREIGN MINISTER'S NOT LAUGHING ABOUT HIS DIPLOMATIC BOO BOO IN INDIA LAST WEEK, WHERE HE CAUSED A FOREIGN POLICY STORM BY WEIGHING IN ON THE ASSASSINATION OF A SIKH IN CANADA. IT WASN'T A CONTROVERSY. I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING THAT WAS OUT OF ORDER. I SAID WHAT ANY DARNED TRAINED LAWYER WOULD SAY. WHEN THE INQUIRY'S OVER, WE'LL HEAR THE EVIDENCE AND KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE SAYING. OUTSIDE, THESE CRITICS UNIMPRESSED WITH THE POWER MR PETERS IS WIELDING. DOES 6% OR 8% GIVE YOU A MANDATE? I DON'T THINK SO. BUT THAT 6 PERCENT HAS GOT NEW ZEALAND FIRST BACK IN THE GAME. BENEDICT COLLINS, 1 NEWS. THE PROSPECT OF MORE GOLD MINING HAS LED A WELL-KNOWN ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP TO DUST OFF ITS PROTEST BANNERS AND PLACARDS. COROMANDEL WATCHDOG RALLIED THIS WEEKEND AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT'S PUSH TO FAST-TRACK BIG PROJECTS, BUT ONE MINING COMPANY SAYS THE GROUP'S GOT ITS FACTS WRONG. SIMON MERCEP REPORTS. SO WE ARE UP AGAINST IT, PEOPLE. THIS WEEKEND, A CALL FOR ACTION AGAIN RANG OUT IN THE COROMANDEL'S KARANGAHAKE GORGE. (CROWD CHEERS) AND WITH THE NEW GOVERNMENT, KARANGAHAKE IS JUS THE BEGINNING OF OUR NEED TO PROTEST. SHE SAYS THAT'S BECAUSE THE NEW FAST-TRACK CONSENTING BILL GIVES MINISTERS THE FINAL SAY ON BIG PROJECTS. SO WE ARE FORCED TO GO BACK TO BANNERS AND PROTESTS AND CHALLENGES AT MINE SITES. THE COMPANY RUNNING THE WAIHI MINE, OCEANA GOLD, IS ONE TARGET. IT'S PREVIOUSLY WELCOMED THE FAST-TRACK BILL, SAYING A SITE NORTH OF WAIHI HAS AN 'EXCEPTIONAL DEPOSIT' WHICH IT COULD DEVELOP WITH 'A STRONG FOCUS ON ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP.' THE MINISTERS HAVE TOLD US THEY WILL DECIDE IN FAVOUR OF MOST OF THESE PROJECTS. OCEANA GOLD HAD NO COMMENT TODAY, WANTING TO WAIT FIRST FOR THE FAST-TRACK BILL TO GO THROUGH PARLIAMENT. BUT ANOTHER COMPANY, THE ONE HOPING TO MINE NEAR THE KARANGAHAKE GORGE, DID HIT OUT. IT SAYS CATHERINE DELAHUNTY'S SUGGESTION THEY'D CAUSE TOXIC DAMAGE IS WRONG. I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT WHEN SHE TALKS ABOUT TOXICITY. WE'RE NOT USING ANY NASTY CHEMICALS UNDERGROUND. THE TWO CAMPS CLASH OVER OTHER ISSUES, TOO. IN ORDER FOR THEM TO WORK THE MINE, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BROADEN WHAT IS CURRENTLY A VERY NARROW, ONE-WAY ROAD INTO A TWO-LANED HIGHWAY. I THINK CATHERINE'S COMPLETELY MADE THAT UP, WE'VE GOT NO INTENTIONS OF PUTTING ANY TWO-WAY HIGHWAYS IN THERE. PROTESTERS THIS WEEKEND ALSO QUESTIONED NEW TALISMAN'S LEGAL STATUS. AS FAR AS WE CAN TELL, IT'S GOT NO RESOURCE CONSENT, AND IT'S GOT NO ACTUAL REAL PERMISSION TO BE THERE. WE HAVE A RESOURCE CONSENT TO BULK SAMPLE. WE'VE HAD AN ACCESS ARRANGEMENT WITH DOC SINCE 1997. WE'VE BEEN THERE, WITHOUT CAUSING PROBLEMS, FOR QUARTER OF A CENTURY. COROMANDEL WATCHDOG INSISTS THE WIDER ENVIRONMENT REMAINS UNDER THREAT. SIMON MERCEP, 1 NEWS. THE COUNTRY'S WATER INFRASTRUCTURE IS A TICKING TIME BOMB THAT MAY BANKRUPT SOME COUNCILS, AND WILL INCREASINGLY FAIL, WITH SERIOUS HEALTH RISKS. THEY'RE THE VIEWS OF SOME MAYORS AND WATER EXPERTS WHO SPOKE TO OUR CHIEF CORRESPONDENT, JOHN CAMPBELL, IN A 1NEWS SERIES IN WHICH HE GOES ON THE ROAD TO SEE OUR WATER WOES UP CLOSE. THESE ARE WATER STORAGE LAKES IN TE MARUA, UPPER HUTT. LET'S JOIN THE DUCKS AND GO DOWN, THEN DOWN AGAIN INTO THE WATER. AND WHAT'S BENEATH IT? BECAUSE OUR STORY BEGINS HERE WITH THE PIPES. SO AS OF TODAY, THERE ARE 700KM OF PIPE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN THE PAST, WHICH HASN'T BEEN. AND ALL OVER WELLINGTON PIPES ARE BURSTING CONSTANTLY AND WHAT WE CAN SEE IS JUST A TINY PART OF IT. IN WELLINGTON AT THE MOMENT, WE'RE LOSING ABOUT 45% OF THE WATER THAT LEAVES THE TREATMENT PLANT AND GETS TO MY TAP. 45%? 45%. 45%. IT IS WAY TOO MUCH. THAT IS 77,000,000L OF WATER PER DAY WE ARE LOSING. YES, 77,000,000L OF THIS PRECIOUS SUBSTANCE LOST A DAY. AND REMEMBER, THAT'S JUST WHERE MAYOR CAMPBELL BARRY AND I ARE, HERE IN THE WELLINGTON REGION. LATER IN THIS WATER SERIES, WE CROSS THESE HILLS AND TALK TO PROVINCIAL MAYORS WHO WILL TELL US... IT HAS BEEN A TICKING TIME BOMB FOR NEW ZEALAND AND THE FUSE IS GETTING VERY SHORT. DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA REALLY OF THE SCALE OF THE PROBLEM? I SUSPECT WE DON'T. WE'RE BACK IN WELLINGTON. THIS IS THE SEAVIEW WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT. IF YOU'RE IN PARTS OF THE CAPITAL AND YOU FLUSH THE LOO, IT BEGINS THE JOURNEY TO HERE. FIRST IT GETS TO THESE GIANT FILTERS OR SIEVES, NOW DECADES OLD. THEN IT HEADS OUT TO THE TANKS FOR BIOLOGICAL AND ULTRAVIOLET TREATMENT. REBUILDING IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE... AND IF YOU'RE TRYING TO FIND REPLACEMENT PARTS, YOU'VE GOT TO FIND THEM THAT ARE GOING TO FIT THESE OLD PIECES OF KIT. MOST OF US, ROUGHLY 85%, ARE CONNECTED TO COUNCIL WATER SUPPLIES AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS LIKE THIS ONE. AND THE TOTAL COST OF PLAYING CATCH UP WITH THE NATION'S OFTEN AGEING WATER INFRASTRUCTURE ` WELL, SOME EXPERTS USE A BROAD RANGE OVER 30 YEARS... 125 TO 185 BILLION HAVE BEEN USED. I MEAN, THAT'S A COUPLE OF YEARS OLD, SO THAT'S PROBABLY HIGHER. THE BEST PLACE TO LOOK AT IS LOOKING AT COUNCIL'S LONG TERM PLANS. AND I THINK IN 2021, THAT NUMBER IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS AT THAT POINT WAS SOMEWHERE IN THE REGION OF AROUND $36 BILLION OF INVESTMENT REQUIRED. WHICH IS EXPLOSIVELY CONFUSING. BUT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN $3.6 AND $6 BILLION A YEAR EVERY YEAR FOR MANY YEARS. AND COUNCIL-OWNED COMPANIES LIKE WELLINGTON WATER SIMPLY CAN'T KEEP UP. AND WHERE'S THE MONEY COMING FROM? WELL, AT THE MOMENT IT NEEDS TO COME FROM COUNCILS. AND COUNCILS DON'T HAVE IT RIGHT? AND COUNCILS DON'T HAVE IT. I FEAR THAT OVER THE NEXT TEN YEARS IF WE DON'T FIND A SOLUTION ON THIS, WE COULD HAVE SMALLER RURAL PROVINCIAL COUNCILS, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY GO BANKRUPT. TOMORROW NIGHT, JOHN'S IN TARARUA, ONE OF MANY DISTRICTS WITH MULTIPLE WATER FACILITIES IN NEED OF CARE. HUNDREDS OF COMPETITORS, HUNDREDS OF FISH, INCLUDING AN 8KG SNAPPER ` EVERYTHING ABOUT THE ANNUAL SURF CASTING BONANZA IN THE FAR NORTH IS BIG, AND THIS YEAR LOCAL KNOWLEDGE PROVED CRUCIAL IN CATCHING THE BIG PRIZE. THE EVENT IS A HUGE DRAW FOR THE REGION WITH BUSINESSES AND LOCALS REELING IN THE BENEFITS, AS HELEN CASTLES REPORTS. 100! IN THE FRONT ROW, THERE. BIG FISH, GOING FOR A GOOD PRICE.. SOLD, $100, SOLD! DONATED FISH BEING AUCTIONED OFF AT THE KAITAIA MARKETS FROM COMPETITORS IN THE ANNUAL SNAPPER BONANZA. THEY'RE GOING ANYWHERE BETWEEN $60 TO $100, SO THEY'RE GETTING THEM AT A GOOD PRICE. COMPETITORS HAVE BEEN CASTING OFF ALONG 90 MILE BEACH THIS WEEK... AH, SHE'S A BIT HARD. BLOODY TERRIBLE, BUT MAKING MEMORIES WITH ALL MY WHANAU. ...GATHERING HERE FROM FAR AND WIDE. LIVED IN CHRISTCHURCH, BEEN DOWN THERE FOR A FEW YEARS, BORN AND BRED UP HERE. I'M FROM BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA. I'M HERE WITH MY DAD. THE SELL-OUT COMPETITION IS IN IT'S 42ND YEAR. WE COULD SELL 1200 TICKETS IN A FEW HOURS, COME JUNE, FOR NEXT YEAR, AND WE COULD HAVE A WAITING LIST OF 5-700 PEOPLE AS WELL, BUT WE DO NEED THE WAITING LIST BECAUSE A LOT DO DECIDE NOT TO COME. THE EVENT PUMPS AROUND $2M THE FAR NORTH ECONOMY EVERY YEAR, TO ENCOURAGE SPENDING AROUND TOWN, ORGANISERS HAVE SET UP A POKER RUN ` CONTESTANTS VISIT 5 DIFFERENT BUSINESSES, COLLECT A PLAYING CARD FROM EACH ` THE BEST HAND WINS A PRIZE. THE EVENT'S LURE ONLY GETTING STRONGER, YOU WON IN 2021, WHAT KEEPS BRINGING YOU BACK? THE PEOPLE AND THE ATMOSPHERE. NOW HIS SON IS COMPETING TOO. I GOT TWO FISH THIS YEAR. THIS IS MY SECOND TUG. BUT IT WAS LOCAL ZANE KAAKA WHO WON WITH A 8.2KG CATCH. WE HAVE A RECORD OF 12.03KG GETTING BROUGHT IN OFF THE SAND. I CAN'T SEE THAT GETTING BEATEN FOR A LONG, LONG TIME. AND WITH SUPPORT LIKE THIS, THE BONANZA WILL BE STILL HERE WHEN THAT NEXT BIG ONE'S REELED IN. HELEN CASTLES, 1 NEWS COMING UP ON 1 NEWS, A SHOPPING SCARE ` A DISPLAY CAR SUDDENLY REVERSES INTO AN AUSSIE DEPARTMENT STORE, WHO POLICE ARE NOW SPEAKING TO. PLUS, THIS VOLCANO IS RIGHT NOW ERUPTING IN ICELAND FOR THE 4TH TIME. STAY TUNED FOR THE LATEST. AND HOW DESIGNER TO THE STARS GUO PEI IS INSPIRING BUDDING KIWI FASHIONISTAS. THE HEALTH MINISTER SAYS THE FUNDING MODEL FOR GP'S HAS TO CHANGE, WITH CHRONIC WORKFORCE SHORTAGES AND THOUSANDS OF KIWIS UNABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE THEIR DOCTOR. DR. SHANE RETI SAYS WORK IS UNDERWAY TO DEVELOP A NEW FUNDING MODEL. Q&A'S JACK TAME REPORTS. ACCORDING TO THE MOST RECENT ANNUAL DATA, MORE THAN HALF A MILLION KIWIS COULDN'T GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH THEIR GP, BUT THE GOVERNMENT HASN'T INCLUDED GP ACCESS IN ITS HEALTH TARGETS. THIS MAY WELL BE A TARGET THAT WE BRING UP AS WELL FOR PRIMARY CARE. IT'S GOING TO NEED A LOT OF DISCUSSION AND A LOT OF WORK WITH PRIMARY CARE, PARTICULARLY AROUND WORKFORCE. BEFORE WE SET A TARGET, YOU KNOW, IT NEEDS TO BE ACHIEVABLE AS WELL AS AMBITIOUS AT THE MOMENT. SO IT'S TOO HARD AT THE MOMENT? IT'S CERTAINLY CHALLENGING. AT THE MOMENT, GENERAL PRACTICES ARE ALLOCATED FUNDING ON A PER PATIENT BASIS, REGARDLESS OF THINGS LIKE AGE, POVERTY AND HEALTH STATUS. IS THE GENERAL PRACTICE FUNDING MODEL AS IT STANDS FIT FOR PURPOSE? NO, IT'S BROKEN. IN THE NEXT 12 TO 15 MONTHS, DR. SHANE RETI WANTS TO SUBSTANTIALLY CHANGE THAT STRUCTURE. THERE'S TWO PARTS TO THIS. THERE'S PROBABLY NEW FUNDING AND THEN REDISTRIBUTION OF THE EXISTING FUNDING. BUT IT ALSO COMES BACK TO SAYING, 'WHERE THE WORK IS DONE, WHERE THE COMPLEXITY IS, IS WHERE THE FUNDING SHOULD BE.' WE NEED TO ADDRESS WORKFORCE ISSUES, AND WE NEED TO ADDRESS RESOURCING FOR THE PRIMARY CARE SECTOR TO HAVE AN EFFICIENT WORKING HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IN THIS COUNTRY. THE GOVERNMENT'S ALSO WORKING ON A REPLACEMENT TO THE PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT'S ANTI-SMOKING LEGISLATION, WHICH HAD BEEN FORECAST TO SAVE AS MANY AS 8000 LIVES. WILL YOUR TOBACCO POLICY SAVE MORE OR FEWER LIVES? IF WE CONTINUE TO DRIVE DOWN THE SMOKING RATES, THE EXPECTATION WOULD BE YES. IT WOULD BE YES TO WHAT? YES TO REDUCING RATES. NO, NO, NO. THE QUESTION WAS MORE OR FEWER? OH, WE WOULD NEED TO MODEL THAT. THE GOVERNMENT'S ALTERNATIVE SMOKING POLICY SHOULD BE OUT IN THE COMING MONTHS. JACK TAME, 1 NEWS. THERE'S BEEN MAYHEM AT A SYDNEY SHOPPING MALL AFTER A DISPLAY CAR SUDDENLY REVERSED INTO A SHOP FRONT. THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE PLOUGHED INTO A GLASS PANEL, SHATTERING IT, BEFORE MOVING BACKWARDS INTO A MYER'S DEPARTMENT STORE. TWO PEOPLE WERE INJURED AND TAKEN TO HOSPITAL. A BOY (14) WHO WAS SITTING INSIDE THE CAR AT THE TIME HAS BEEN QUESTIONED BY POLICE, THE MANUFACTURER QUICK TO SAY THE VEHICLE ISN'T FAULTY. SOME ICELAND RESIDENTS ARE BEING FORCED TO FLEE THEIR HOMES AS A VOLCANO ERUPTS AGAIN. IT'S THE FOURTH TIME SINCE DECEMBER THAT THE VOLCANO ON THE REYKJANES PENINSULA HAS ERUPTED. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE ALSO BEEN EVACUATED FROM THE BLUE LAGOON TOURIST ATTRACTION. A STATE OF EMERGENCY'S BEEN DECLARED. TO LIVE PICTURES FROM ICELAND NOW, WHERE IT'S JUST AFTER 5AM, AND YOU CAN SEE LAVA IS STILL FLOWING FROM THE VOLCANO. THE FISSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEARLY 3KM LONG. THE DEVASTATING EFFECT OF THE WILDFIRES THAT RIPPED THROUGH THE HAWAIIAN ISLAND OF MAUI IS STILL BEING FELT 7 MONTHS ON. YOU'LL REMEMBER THESE SCENES FROM THE HOLIDAY HOT SPOT ` THE FEROCIOUS FLAMES BURNING THROUGH HUGE SWATHES OF LAND, WITH THE TOWN OF LAHAINA WORST HIT. 100 PEOPLE DIED, AND THOUSANDS OF BUILDINGS ` MAINLY HOMES ` WERE DESTROYED. NOW THERE'S CONCERN FROM THE COMMUNITY ABOUT WHERE THE TOXIC DEBRIS IS BEING PUT. THE ABC'S JACLYN LEE LOOKS INTO IT. AFTER THE DEVASTATING LAHAINA FIRES LAST AUGUST, THE WAHINE, OR WOMEN ACROSS THE ISLAND OF MAUI, ARE SOUNDING THE ALARM ABOUT THE TOXIC DEBRIS. DO YOU FEEL LIKE WE'RE CURRENTLY IN TROUBLE? I FEEL LIKE WE ARE TEETERING ON, UH, SOME VERY, VERY SENSITIVE AREAS IN WHERE WE'RE PUTTING THIS TOXIC ASH. TOXIC ASH AND DEBRIS CONTAINING ARSENIC AND LEAD, MORE THAN 400,000YD OF IT, TEMPORARILY DUMPED HERE IN OLOWALU BY MAUI COUNTY. HERE, ACROSS THE STREET IS THE MOTHER REEF OF HAWAI'I. STOP THE DESECRATION. STOP THE DUMPING OF THE TOXIC WASTE. KA'IO MARTIN'S HAWAIIAN ANCESTORS ARE BURIED ADJACENT TO THE DUMP SITE. (SPEAKS OLELO HAWAI'I) THE ANCESTORS... ALL THOSE WHO HAVE COME BEFORE US. AND SHE'S GIVING THIS HO'OKUPU, OR OFFERING, TO HER ANCESTORS, ASKING FOR STRENGTH AFTER FILING A PUBLIC NUISANCE INJUNCTION AGAINST THE COUNTY THIS WEEK. THE DEBRIS IS CONTAINED IN A PLASTIC LINED PIT, BUT SHE'S CONCERNED IT WILL TAINT THE WATER SYSTEM. THERE'S NO STRUCTURAL GUARANTEE. THAT THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE CONTAMINATION. MEANWHILE, OTHER WAHINE LIKE CAROLYN AUWELOA ARE FIGHTING TO ENSURE THIS LAND STAYS IN LAHAINA HANDS. WE HAD THIS VERY, VERY REAL SENSE OF FOREBODING FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF THESE LAND GRABS OF DISASTER CAPITALISTS THAT MIGHT TRY TO COME INTO LAHAINA AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE. AUWELOA CREATED THE LAHAINA LAND TRUST, A NON-PROFIT THAT OFFERS TO BUY PROPERTIES FROM FAMILIES WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO REBUILD RATHER THAN LETTING THEM SELL TO DEVELOPERS. THE ORGANISATION THEN OFFERS TO LEASE THE PROPERTIES BACK TO THOSE FAMILIES. WHEN CORPORATIONS COME IN AND THEY'RE BETTER RESOURCED THAN THE LOCAL PEOPLE, AND HOW IT CHANGES THE ENTIRE MAKEUP OF A COMMUNITY OVER TIME. IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE SECOND DISASTER AFTER A DISASTER. AND IN THE WAKE OF THE WILDFIRE, AN ESTIMATED 7,000 PEOPLE WERE IN NEED OF SHELTER. THE IMPORTANCE OF GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP IS WELL KNOWN, AND NOW SOME MEXICAN'S HAVE HAD A MASS SIESTA, HUNDREDS OF SLEEPY PARTICIPANTS GETTING SOME SHUT-EYE UNDER THE FAMOUS REVOLUTION MONUMENT. WHILE THE EVENT WAS TO MARK WORLD SLEEP DAY, IT'S ALSO HOPED IT'LL RAISE AWARENESS FOR WORKING CONDITIONS, WITH MEXICO LISTED AS ONE OF THE MOST OVERWORKED COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD. THE CITY OF LOVE THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS. ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT WAS LIKE A GHOST TOWN. IT WAS ACTUALLY QUITE DISTURBING. NEXT, HOW THIS KIWI PHOTOGRAPHER GOT A UNIQUE LOOK AT PARIS DURING A MOMENT IN HISTORY. PLUS, AFTER THE BREAK FIND OUT WHO'S THE BEST DRESSED AT GUO PEI'S FANTASY BALL. MORE IS MORE AND LESS IS A BORE. AND A LOT MORE SUNSHINE THAN CLOUD ACROSS AOTEAROA TODAY. AUCKLAND TIPPING THE SCALES AT 21. COME IN DUNEDIN, BIT COLDER AT 16 DEGREES. FIND OUT HOW IT'S LOOKING AT YOUR PLACE, AFTER SPORT. THIS EYE-CATCHING DESIGN'S THE WORK OF GUO PEI, WHO WAS HANDPICKED BY RIHANNA TO DRESS HER FOR THE MET GALA. AND NOW THE CHINESE DESIGNER'S INSPIRING KIWI FASHIONISTAS. ALONG WITH AN EXHIBITION OF HER WORK AT THE AUCKLAND ART GALLERY, THE FIRST EVER FANTASY BALL'S ALSO BEEN HELD. YVONNE TAHANA WENT ALONG. THERE WERE NO CINDERELLAS OR PUMPKINS AT AUCKLAND ART GALLERY LAST NIGHT BUT THERE WAS PLENTY OF FAIRYTALE SPARKLE. MORE IS MORE AND LESS IS A BORE. ALL OF THIS GLAMOUR FOR THE GALLERY'S FIRST FANTASY BALL. GETTING THE HAIR JUST RIGHT A PRIORITY. I THINK MY NECK IS ACHING RIGHT NOW. THEY WERE ALL WAITING FOR THE CLOCK TO STRIKE EIGHT FOR THE PARTY TO START. ALL OF THEM INSPIRED BY GUO PEI, ASIA'S MOST SUCCESSFUL COUTRIER. MANY MAKING THEIR OWN GARMENTS. WITH GUO PEI'S WORK, SHE KIND OF EVOKES ALL KINDS OF WOMAN - THE EMPRESS, THE PRINCESS, THE WARRIOR, THE CREATOR, THE NURTURER, THE MOTHER. A REAL SENSE OF CREATIVITY AND STEPPING-INTO WELL, 'WHAT KIND OF WOMAN DO I WANT TO EVOKE TONIGHT'. THE EXHIBITION'S ON TRACK TO BE ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR EVER. 70,000 FASHION LOVERS EXPECTED TO VISIT. FANS LIKE KAT WATERS HAVE BEEN SIX TIMES, LEARNING EACH TIME AND BRINGING NEW IDEAS TO THEIR OWN WORK. THIS DRESS TAKING TWO HUNDRED HOURS TO COMPLETE. THIS PARTICULAR SECTION IS TAMBOUR EMBROIDERY AND I'M JUST WORKING ON ONE LAST APLLIAQUE FOR MY GOWN BEFORE I NEED TO WEAR IT ON SATURDAY. THIS IS WHAT I WAS WORKING ON. THIS LITTLE PIECE OF EMBROIDERY. YOUR LEGS LOOK AMAZING...THAT'S THE MAIN THING. ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED TURNING OUT. AND NOT ONE, BUT TWO BELLES OF THE BALL NAMED. WE JUST WENT FOR GOTH GOAT AND GOLD GOAT. WE WENT TO FIRST SCENE. THEY HAD FANTASTIC COSTUMES. NO GLASS SLIPPERS, BUT STILL A MAGICAL NIGHT. GUO PEI'S EXHIBITION RUNS TILL MAY THE FIFTH. YVONNE TAHANA, 1 NEWS. LIKE MUCH OF THE WORLD IN 2020, PARIS WAS PLUNGED INTO LOCKDOWN, BUT FOR ONE NEW ZEALAND PHOTOGRAPHER IT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DOCUMENT THE NORMALLY BUSTLING FRENCH CITY DEVOID OF PEOPLE AND TRAFFIC. IAN BORTHWICK HAS RETURNED HOME TO CHRISTCHURCH TO OPEN HIS EXHIBITION, 'PARIS SILENCED'. RYAN BOSWELL WENT TO CHECK IT OUT. PARALYSED BY COVID, THIS IS PARIS IN LOCKDOWN. AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S LIKE A GHOST TOWN. IT WAS ACTUALLY QUITE DISTURBING. IAN BORTHWICK CAPTURING THE CITY OF LOVE AT A UNIQUE MOMENT IN TIME WHEN ITS WIDE AVENUES, ELEGANT BUILDINGS AND MEANDERING WATERWAYS WERE REDUCED TO NEAR SILENCE. THIS WAS A, I BELIEVE, A SATURDAY NIGHT, PROBABLY 10.30PM, AND JUST NOT A SOUL TO BE SEEN, EXCEPT THERE'S THE TRACE OF A LITTLE SCOOTER GOING` SCOOTING PAST IN THE CORNER THERE. UNLIKE MOST OTHERS, THE FRANCE-BASED PHOTOGRAPHER AND RUGBY REPORTER WAS ABLE TO MOVE AROUND PARIS THANKS TO HIS OFFICIAL MEDIA ACCREDITATION. AND IT SAID IT WAS FOR ALL OF FRANCE FOR THE DURATION OF THE LOCKDOWN, BY ALL MEANS OF TRANSPORT. SO I SAW THAT, 'THAT'S PERFECT.' THAT'S ME. I'M GOING TO GO OUT AND DOCUMENT THIS AMAZING TIME OR THIS AMAZING MOMENT IN THE HISTORY OF PARIS. FROM THE SEINE RIVER... YOU WOULD NEVER GET THAT` GET THE SEINE IN THAT SORT OF CONDITION THAT I SHOT IT, BECAUSE THERE WILL BE BARGES GOING UP AND DOWN. ...TO THE EIFFEL TOWER... THERE'S A FEELING OF ME BEING THERE, A KIND OF ELATION AT BEING ALONE AS A PHOTOGRAPHER AND NOT HAVING ANYBODY DISTURBING THE SCENE. IT'S LUCKY THAT I CAN` I HAD A WIDE ENOUGH ANGLE TO GET BOTH THE EIFFEL TOWER AND THEN THIS` THE SIDES OF THE OF THE PALAIS DE CHAILLOT, THOSE STATUES THAT ARE GLOWING. IAN'S SHOWCASING THIS EXHIBITION, 'PARIS SILENCED,' FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS HOMETOWN OF CHRISTCHURCH, HOPING EVENTUALLY TO SHARE THESE UNIQUE MOMENTS IN TIME WITH PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. RYAN BOSWELL, 1 NEWS. GUY'S HERE WITH SPORT. AND OH-SO-CLOSE FOR THE WARRIORS? IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A BIT OF A RESTLESS NIGHT, I THINK FOR THE WARRIORS AND THEIR FANS ALIKE. AND IT TOOK ARGUABLY THE GREATEST FINISH EVER IN THE NRL TO BEAT THEM. SO JUST HOW DID XAVIER COATES DO THIS? THE WARRIORS COULDN'T, AND STILL CAN'T AS THEY ARRIVED BACK TO AUCKLAND TODAY. PLUS, THE BLUES AND CHIEFS SCRAP TO WINS, BUT WARREN GATLAND DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE RECENTLY ` THE LENGTHS HE'S GONE TO AFTER ANOTHER WELSH DEFEAT. AND ON TOP OF THE LEAGUE, THE PHOENIX GRAB ANOTHER IMPORTANT WIN, AND THE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK CAUSE A STIR WITHOUT EVEN PLAYING. WELCOME TO SPORT. AND IT TOOK THIS ACROBATIC EFFORT IN THE DYING SECONDS FOR THE STORM TO BEAT THE WARRIORS. EXTENDING THEIR WINLESS RUN AGAINST MELBOURNE TO FIFTEEN GAMES. BUT WHILE THE WARRIORS MIGHT HAVE LOST THEIR OPENING TWO GAMES OF THE NEW NRL SEASON, THERE'S STILL PLENTY TO BE OPTIMISTIC ABOUT. ZION DAYAL EXPLAINS. IT TOOK ONE OF THE NRL'S GREATEST TRIES... HE GOES OVER! OHHH! ...TO BREAK WARRIORS' HEARTS (LAUGHS) AND DENY THEM SNAPPING A DECADE-LONG LOSING STREAK IN MELBOURNE. OBVIOUSLY IT'S GUT-WRENCHING, YEAH. AND WHEN YOU'VE GOT A WINGER WHO CAN JUMP OVER A SKYSCRAPER AND THEN PUT THE BALL DOWN IN THE CORNER, IT'S` (SIGHS) IT'S PRETTY AMAZING. XAVIER COETZEE'S STUPENDOUS LEAP HELPING MELBOURNE TO A 30-26 VICTORY, THEIR 15TH STRAIGHT WIN OVER THE WARRIORS. IT'S ONE OF THOSE ONES YOU, UH... IT HURTS. HURTS EVEN MORE, GIVEN THE WARRIORS GAVE THEMSELVES EVERY CHANCE OF WINNING WHEN EARLY ON IT LOOKED LIKE ANOTHER MELBOURNE MAULING. NICK MEANEY RUNS WAY TO SCORE. IF THEY COULD, THE WARRIORS WOULD TAKE BACK THE FIRST 20 MINUTES. A SIMPLE MISTAKE BY THE WARRIORS... AGAINST A TEAM LIKE MELBOURNE, THEY'LL MAKE YOU PAY ` THE WARRIORS DOWN 18-6 AT HALF TIME. FROM THE INSIDE! BUT AS WE'VE COME TO EXPECT UNDER COACH ANDREW WEBSTER, THIS ISN'T A WARRIORS TEAM THAT FOLDS EASILY. COMES TO... A RACE FOR THE CORNER! FLUIDITY AND ATTACK, AND SOME PIECES OF INDIVIDUAL BRILLIANCE, HELPING THEM COME BACK FROM 12 POINTS DOWN... METCALFE, OVER THE TOP... ...TO LEAD BY 8 POINTS WITH LESS THAN TEN MINUTES TO GO, BUT YOU CAN NEVER COUNT THE STORM OUT. RYAN PAPENHUYZEN BACK ON THE INSIDE! RYAN PAPENHUYZEN WITH THE FIRST DAGGER, BEFORE COATES FINISHED THE WARRIORS OFF. JOHNSTONE, AT THE END OF THE GAME IT LOOKED LIKE UPLIFTING, INSPIRING WORDS THAT HE SAID TO THE GROUP, WHAT WAS SAID AFTER A TOUGH RESULT? PRETTY MUCH JUST SAYING THAT WE HAD A LOT OF GOOD THINGS IN THE GAME AND UM, WE WERE GOOD, UM, IN CERTAIN PERIODS, AND THEN OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S PERIODS WHERE WE NEED TO WORK ON. NEXT STOP, CHRISTCHURCH TO TAKE ON THE CANBERRA RAIDERS. THOSE RAIDERS, THEY'VE GOT THE START OF THE SEASON WELL. SO, UM, YEAH, WE NEED TO GO DOWN THERE FULLY PREPARED AND READY TO TAKE ON THIS WEEK. IT'S ONLY ROUND THREE, BUT PLENTY OF SIGNS TO SHOW. THIS WARRIORS SIDE CAN MATCH IT WITH THE BEST. ZION DAYAL, 1 NEWS. NEW ZEALAND TEAMS CONTINUE TO FEATURE STRONGLY IN THE TOP FOUR OF THIS YEAR'S SUPER RUGBY PACIFIC COMPETITION, EVEN IF THERE'S ONE VERY NOTABLE ABSENTEE. THE BLUES AND CHIEFS NOTCHING THEIR THIRD WINS, BUT AS BRODYN KNUCKEY REPORTS, NOT WITHOUT SOME ANXIOUS MOMENTS. 4 WEEKS IN, AND SUPER RUGBY'S LANDSCAPE IS SETTLING. HE'S ON THE INSIDE! THAT'S A STUNNING TRY FROM THE CHIEFS. WINS TO THE CHIEFS AND BLUES LAST NIGHT ENSURING THEY JOINED THE UNBEATEN HURRICANES IN THE TOP 4. THE HIGHLANDERS ALSO IN THE MIX IN 6TH. GETTING WINS, LIKE, SCRAPPY ONES LIKE THAT, IS GOOD FOR OUR TEAM. THE BLUES DIGGING IN DEEP IN GAME NUMBER 3, THE WARRATAHS GIVING THEM A SCARE IN THE 79TH MINUTE. A BIT FRUSTRATED, AND AGAIN, WE'LL JUST GO BACK AND REVIEW IT, BUT I KNOW WE'LL BUILD FROM THIS, AND I KNOW WE CAN PLAY A LOT BETTER THAN WE DID TONIGHT. A 12-10 WIN ON THE ROAD A CONTRAST TO THE ENTERTAINING TRY-FEST IN HAMILTON WHEN TWO ATTACKING SIDE SQUARED-OFF DAMIEN MACKENZIE CONTINUING TO ADD TO HIS CASE FOR THE ALL BLACKS' NUMBER 10 JERSEY SENSATIONAL! YOU HAVE TO BE PERFECT TO NAIL THAT PASS AND MCKENZIE DID! THE CHIEFS FIRST FIVE FINISHING WITH 16 POINTS. BUT THE VICTORY NOT WITHOUT ITS CONCERNS. THE ALL BLACKS MIDFIELDER EVENTUALLY CARTED FROM THE FIELD, BUT EMERGED LATER TO PUT FANS AND TEAMMATES AT EASE. THE SITUATION DOWN ST SOUTH THOUGH NO LAUGHING MATTER. AT THE END OF THE DAY TO GET A LOOK AT THE CRUSADERS WILL MEAN A LOT. IRISH RUGBY FANS WILL BE WAKING UP FOR A DECENT ST PATRICK'S DAY, WITH A SECOND-STRAIGHT SIX NATIONS TITLE LOCKED AWAY. LIKELY QUITE A DIFFERENT MOOD IN WALES THOUGH WHO HAVE SOME UNWANTED HISTORY. MICHELLE PRENDIVILLE HAS MORE. IRELAND ARE THE BACK-TO-BACK SIX NATIONS CHAMPIONS... ECSTASY AND RELIEF AROUND AVIVA STADIUM ` IRELAND RETAINING THEIR SIX NATIONS CROWN, PERHAPS SOON WITHOUT THEIR SKIPPER. YOU KNOW, IF IT WAS MY LAST ONE, IT'S NOT A BAD ONE TO GO OUT ON, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? A NIGHT OF HIGH EMOTION FOR IRELAND STALWART PETER O'MAHONY, BUT THE STAKES EVEN HIGHER. MATHEMATICALLY, FOUR TEAMS WITH A CHANCE OF LIFTING THE TROPHY GOING INTO THE FINAL ROUND. A WIN FOR IRELAND, THOUGH PUTTING THE RESULT TO BED. IT WAS A WALK IN FOR THAT MAN! BUT IT WASN'T WITHOUT A SCOTLAND FIGHT, MINUTES LEFT, HUGH JONES WITH A MOMENT OF INDIVIDUAL BRILLIANCE, SENDING THE AVIVA INTO STUNNED SILENCE. HUGH JONES! WELL-WELL. IRELAND HUNG ON, IFE EVER A TIME TO KICK OFF SAINT PATRICK'S DAY CELEBRATIONS, THIS WAS IT. BUT FOR WALES, THEY BAG A FAR LESS DESIRABLE SOUVENIR. YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT OF ROCK BOTTOM AT THE MOMENT. THE 24-21 DEFEAT TO ITALY, THE FIRST TIME IN 21 YEARS THEY'VE LOST ALL FIVE GAMES. IN, THE CHANGE ROOMS. YOU KNOW, I SAID, LOOK, IF YOU WANT ME TO RESIGN, I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT. AND SHE SAID, 'LIKE HELL.' ITALY MAKING THEIR OWN HISTORY, CALM COMPOSED RUGBY MAGNIFICENT, MAGNIFICENT. MAGNIFICENT, MAGNIFICENT. AN ALL TIME FRANCE ENGLAND CLASSIC. THE LEAD CHANGING SIX TIMES. AND THERE GO ENGLAND. ENGLAND SEEMINGLY WRAPPING THINGS UP 3130, BUT WITH LESS THAN TWO ON THE CLOCK. FRANCE NEVER SAY DIE SAM TANNER HAS BLOWN HIS COMPETITION AWAY AT WELLINGTON'S NEWTOWN PARK, WINNING HIS THIRD STRAIGHT 15 HUNDRED METRE MEN'S NATIONAL TITLE. THE OLYMPIAN LETTING HIS LOCKS FLY AND LETTING RIP IN THE FINAL 400 METRES. IN THE WOMEN'S HAMMER THROW LAUREN BRUCE ALSO CLAIMING A THIRD CONSECUTIVE CROWN. AND IN THE MEN'S DISCUS, CONNOR BELL MAKING IT FOUR NATIONAL TITLES IN A ROW. MITCH EVANS HAS FINISHED ON THE PODIUM FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS SEASON AND ALSO CLIMBED INTO THIRD ON THE OVERALL STANDINGS, BUT LEFT THE SAU PAULO E-PRIX FEELING "BITTERSWEET". THE KIWI FORMULA E DRIVER LEADING FOR MOST OF THE SECOND HALF OF THE RACE, BUT A LOSS OF POWER DUE TO EXTREME HEAT MEANT HE COULDN'T HOLD OFF SAM BIRD ONLY TWO TURNS FROM HOME. IT'S A HARD ONE TO ACCEPT. I FEEL LIKE WE DID ALL THE RIGHT STEPS, UNFORTUNATLEY ON THE LAST STEP, I HAD A BATTERY ISSUE FROM TEMEPRATURE, FELLOW KIWI NICK CASSIDY CRASHED OUT MIDWAY THROUGH THE RACE BUT STILL LEADS THE OVERALL SERIES. THE WELLINGTON PHOENIX HEAD INTO A TWO-WEEK INTERNATIONAL BREAK LEADING THE A-LEAGUE AND WITH A HOME PLAYOFF RUN LOOKING INCREASINGLY LIKELY. THEY'VE COME FROM BEHIND TO BEAT SYDNEY 2-1... THE LAST TIME THEY'LL PLAY IN AUCKLAND AS THE HOME TEAM COMPLETING AN IMPRESSIVE RECORD. WELLINGTON IS UNBEATEN RECORD. 12 GAMES AT EDEN PARK NEVER BEATEN. THIS MARKS THE PHOENIX'S BEST CHANCE AT WINNING THE LEAGUE. WE CAME BACK STRONG. THE NEXT COMING ALIVE AFTER THE BREAK. INITIALLY RULED OUT WITH AN OFFSIDE FLAG OVERTURNING THE CALL. WHO ELSE WOULD THE RAZZLE-DAZZLE? SURPASSING FORMER MELBOURNE TEAMMATE ARCHIE THOMPSON. AT THE LAST TIME THE NEXT WILL PLAY AT THE NATIONS BIGGEST STADIUM AS A HOME TEAM. AND JUST TO REMIND THEM OF WHAT'S ABOUT TO ARRIVE AMONG THE 18,000 IT WAS QUICK. I WAS THINKING ABOUT SIGNING HIM SO I COULD PLAY HIM AS A WINGER. THE BLUE AND BLACK FOR THEM TO WORRY ABOUT NEXT SEASON. Now it's two weeks off for the NIX, WHO CAN LOOK DOWN ON THE REST OF THE LEAGUE FROM THE TOP PERCH OF THE LADDER. IT'S NOT LOOKING SO PROMISING FOR THE WELLINGTON PHOENIX WOMEN, LOSING 4-2 TO SYDNEY F-C IN PORIRUA THIS AFTERNOON. A WELL EXECUTED SET-PIECE GIVING SYDNEY AN EARLY LEADM BEFORE SOME CLUMSY WELLINGTON DEFENCE MADE IT 2 FOR THE VISITORS THE NIX HAVE LITTLE CHANCE OF MAKING THE PLAY-OFFS WITH THREE GAMES LEFT IN THE SEASON..

TONIGHT'S GOODSORT IS GALINA TURISHEVA, A UKRAINIAN WOMAN WHO NOW LIVES IN MURUPARA, NEAR ROTORUA. GALINA CAN'T SAY NO TO HELPING DOGS, BOTH HERE AND IN HER HOMELAND. SO YOU CAN GUESS THE RECEPTION THAT WAS WAITING WHEN HADYN JONES KNOCKED ON HER DOOR IN MURUPARA, GALINA TURISHEVA'S DOOR IS... THE HIGH ONE. I THINK I'M IN THE RIGHT PLACE. (DOG BARKS) ...BECAUSE INSIDE ARE DOGS, LOTS OF DOGS. SOME OF THEM WE ADOPTED, SOME OF THEM WE ARE TRYING TO FIND THEIR FOREVER FAMILIES. OH MY GOODNESS! SOME, LIKE TUI, HAVE BEEN HERE TOO LONG. SHE HAS BEEN WITH US, ALMOST COMING UP TO ONE YEAR. TUI IS READY FOR YOUR HOUSE RIGHT NOW. SHE IS THE MOST LOVELIEST DOG IN THE WHOLE WORLD. NEXT IS ECLIPSE. HE WAS KEPT ON A CHAIN EVER SINCE HE WAS A PUP. ECLIPSE NOW HAS HIS OWN FURNITURE, WE WENT TO SALVATION ARMY, WE GOT HIM THIS LOVELY COUCH FOR $5. NO. GALENA RESCUES DOGS AND THEN FINDS THEM HOMES. A DADDY'S BOY, AND A MUMMY. LIKE ACTION, WHO NOW LIVES WITH BRYCE AND SELENA. GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND HE JUST STRAIGHT AWAY WENT, YEP, THIS IS IT. GALENA ADMITS SHE STRUGGLES TO SAY NO TO DOGS. WE DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO HAVE A LOT OF DOGS INSIDE OF THE HOUSE. HERE'S HER OUTSIDE PACK, INSIDE. TODAY WE HAVE SIX DOGS, I BELIEVE. IT'S NOT JUST DOGS. THE HORSE WE HAVE RESCUED, THE GOAT WE HAVE RESCUED, THE SHEEP. HELLO, GALENA. SPEAKING. SAVING DOGS AND FINDING THEM HOMES HAS TAKEN OVER A HOUSE AND HER LIFE. IT TAKES EVERYTHING AWAY FROM YOU. IT'S HARD ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP. IT'S BEEN THIS WAY SINCE GALENA WAS A GIRL GROWING UP IN THE UKRAINE. SHOCKING IS NOT NOT THE WORD. HER FAMILY, STILL THERE, HAVE FLED THEIR HOMES. MY OWN TOWN WAS THE FIRST ONE ON THE SOUTHERN BORDER WHO WAS LITERALLY TAKEN OVER. BUT GALENA WORRIES ABOUT THOSE LEFT BEHIND. SHE'S RAISED $20,000 FOR ABANDONED ANIMALS IN HER HOMELAND. THE ANIMALS ARE TRYING TO FIND SHELTER BECAUSE THE SHELLING IS CONSTANT. HI BABIES. GALENA DOESN'T WORK ALONE ` THERE ARE MORE DOGS THAT NEED A WALK AND A HOME. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. COME ON. SO CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR AS A KID. THE ONLY DREAM I HAD IN MY CHILDHOOD LIFE WAS TO HAVE A DOG HOTEL. DREAMS HAVE A HABIT OF COMING TRUE. WELL, I HAVE THE HOTEL NOW. HAYDN JONES, 1 NEWS.
