1New Zealander Vernon Gardiner will spend the next two decades behind bars in a Filipino prison unless he can pay a Filipino worker whom he promised work to in Christchurch, which fell over after the 2011 February quakes. He has been unable to raise the money, but in an unusual twist the judge in the case is backing Gardiner. He has spent the past 17 months in a Filipino prison and if help does not come soon he will spend another 20 more years behind bars. The irony is at 66, Gardiner is entitled to a pension which could help him pay back the money he owes. Judge Lelu Contrerous, tough and feisty, put Gardiner behind bars. Bizarrely she has become Vernon Gardiner's greatest champion. So what next for Gardiner?
21500 metre runner Nick Willis was New Zealand's flag bearer at the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics, but he failed to fire on the track. For the first time, Willis talks about what went wrong.
3Te Urewera is a place of remote beauty, mystery, sadness and a place of anger. In fact the challenge laid down by that part of New Zealand is whether it is part of New Zealand at all. Today many of the small settlements dotted through Te Urewera have fallen into ruin - there is no cell phone coverage, no work and sometimes no running water. Local iwi Tuhoe did not sign the Treaty of Waitangi but they have reached a Treaty Settlement - one which offers new hope. Their $170 million deal with the Crown could go a long way, but the only thing being built at the moment is a flash new office for the tribal headquarters at a cost of $15 million. There are big plans for running their own schools and social services, abolishing the dole, taking all Tuhoe kids back from Child Youth and Family (CYFs) care and largely taking back control of the National Park. It is a vision some see as creating a Tuhoe Nation: a state within a state. A look at the issues facing Tuhoe, followed by a studio interview with the iwi's Chief Treaty Negotiator, Tamati Kruger.
