ONE NEWS CAPTIONS BY AMY PARK AND RICHARD EDMUNDS. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR. COPYRIGHT TVNZ ACCESS SERVICES 2013 DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF SEVEN SHARP, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. AMERICA IS READING OUR EMAILS. What do we care? We have nothing to hide. It would be different if you are an MP? I'VE GOT AN XTRA ACCOUNT, BUT I DON'T USE IT FOR WORK. BUT YOU JUST SAID BEFORE YOU DID. NO, I SOMETIMES FORWARD THINGS ON WHEN I'M AT THE BEACH, COS IT'S THE ONLY PLACE I CAN GET ACCESS TO AN EMAIL OR SOMETHING, BUT IT'S NOT NORMALLY FOR WORK. WHY OUR MPS SHOULD BE NERVOUS ABOUT WHAT THEY'VE SAID TO WHOM. AND WHAT ARE WE TO MAKE OF THIS MAN? I REALLY DON'T THINK THERE SHOULD BE ANY RACE-RELATED PARTIES, FULL STOP. WE'LL HEAR FROM DAVID RUCK AND HIS POLITICAL AGENDA. WE HAVE CARRIE BRADSHAW'S LITTLE SIS IN STUDIO. SHE'S FROM PAUATA-HANUI! AND IT'S THE MOMENT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR. 10,000 VOTED. WE'LL ANNOUNCE NZ'S SHARPEST TOWN. THIS IS SEVEN SHARP. Last month, we found out that the nsa might have access to what we have online. Most of us said we have nothing to hide. But what if you were a Cabinet minister? They may be able to blackmail you and get insight on trade talks. A lot of Mps also have personal e-mail addresses. 'THE PINK PANTHER' THEME MINISTER, THAT'S NOT A PERSONAL EMAIL ACCOUNT YOU'RE CHECKING, IS IT? I JUST WANNA ASK YOU IF YOU HAVE A GMAIL ACCOUNT? YES, I DO. I'VE GOT A FEW ACCOUNTS, AND, YEAH, ONE OF THEM IS GMAIL. WHAT KIND OF ACCOUNT DO YOU HAVE? I HAVE A GMAIL ACCOUNT. YEAH, I'VE GOT AN XTRA ACCOUNT. YOU'RE ALLOWED. AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT USING IT FOR WORK. DO YOU USE IT FOR WORK AT ALL? NO COMMENT? SOMETIMES IF I'M AT HOME, IT'S THE ONLY THING I CAN GET TO. IT IS TRUE THAT SOME POLITICAL QUESTIONS ARE REFERRED THROUGH THAT EMAIL TO MY PARLIAMENT ADDRESS. I DON'T USE IT FOR WORK. YOU JUST SAID BEFORE YOU DID. I COULD USE IT FOR ALL SORTS OF PURPOSES. NO, I SOMETIMES FORWARD THINGS ON IF I'M AT THE BEACH, COS IT'S THE ONLY PLACE I CAN GET ACCESS TO AN EMAIL OR SOMETHING, BUT IT'S NOT NORMALLY FOR WORK. OH, YOU ARE USING THOSE PERSONAL EMAIL ACCOUNTS FOR WORK! ACTUALLY, WE SHOULD'VE KNOWN THAT. WE REALISED THAT LAST YEAR WHEN THE FOREIGN MINISTER'S XTRA EMAIL ACCOUNT WAS HACKED. GUESS WHAT? HE WAS USING HIS PERSONAL EMAIL ACCOUNT FOR WORK. AND IN ONE OF THOSE EMAILS, ANOTHER MP, JOHN HAYES, GIVES HIM SOME ADVICE ON HOW TO HELP OUR PACIFIC FRIENDS 'RESIST CHINA'. I BET THE CHINESE LOVED READING THAT. 'PINK PANTHER' THEME GETTING HACKED IS ONE THING. THE 'US SPYING ON EMAIL ACCOUNTS' SCANDAL IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT THING. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE AMERICANS SPYING ON GMAIL ACCOUNTS? NO. NOTHING. SORRY. NO COMMENT. SURE, IT'S A SCANDAL. BUT IS IT REALLY HAPPENING? COME ON. DOES THIS LOOK LIKE THE KIND OF PLACE THAT'S GONNA ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS? ACTUALLY, I RANG THEM BEFORE, AND THEY SAID THEY'RE NOT GOING TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS. EVEN IF THEY ARE, SO WHAT? DO YOU RECKON THEY'D BE INTERESTED IN SPYING ON NZERS? SORRY, MA'AM, I HAVE NO COMMENT. WE'RE PROBABLY NOT THAT INTERESTING, EH? NAH. PROBABLY NOT. EXCEPT IT MIGHT BE HANDY FOR THE US TO KNOW THINGS LIKE WHAT TIM GROSER HAS UP HIS SLEEVE WHEN HE NEGOTIATES THE TPP FREE TRADE DEAL WITH THEM, EH? GMAIL, YAHOO OR XTRA? OR HOTMAIL? IT'S PRIVATE. YOU HOPE IT'S PRIVATE. AND GUESS WHAT? EVEN THE BOSS SAYS 'DON'T DO IT'. THAT'S THEIR CHOICE. WOULD YOU ADVISE THEM NOT TO? WE DO ADVISE THEM NOT TO. ONE I.T. EXPERT RECKONS MINISTERS MAY AS WELL PASTE THEIR EMAILS TO THEIR WINDOWS IF THEY USE GMAIL AND YAHOO ACCOUNTS. THE MINISTERS SHOULDN'T BE USING PRIVATE EMAIL FOR PUBLIC BUSINESS. IT'S A RISKY THING TO DO, AND IT'S AGAINST OFFICIAL ADVICE TO BE DOING THAT. SO WHY DO IT? I MEAN, EVERYBODY IN THE BEEHIVE HAS A HIGHLY SECURE OFFICIAL EMAIL ADDRESS THAT WORKS A LITTLE SOMETHING LIKE THIS: WELL, IT'S ABOUT SECRETS. I SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED. WE'VE CHECKED WITH OUR CONTACTS, AND APPARENTLY PEOPLE IN THE BEEHIVE USE THEIR PERSONAL EMAIL ACCOUNTS TO TRY TO KEEP SOME THINGS SECRET SO YOU AND I WON'T FIND OUT ABOUT THEM. YES, WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF CASES WHERE OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN SURPRISED AND ARGUED QUITE STRONGLY THAT THE OFFICIAL INFORMATION ACT SHOULDN'T APPLY TO EMAILS EITHER RECEIVED OR SENT FROM THEIR PRIVATE EMAIL ACCOUNT. THE BOSS SAYS THAT'S NOT WHY PERSONAL EMAIL ACCOUNTS ARE USED. THAT'S CERTAINLY NOT MY UNDERSTANDING OF WHY MINISTERS USE IT. I MEAN, I DON'T USE A PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS FOR THOSE REASONS. BUT WHY ARE THEY USED? HE CAN'T REALLY SAY. BUT IT'S OK, GUYS. IF WE REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IN THOSE PRIVATE EMAIL ACCOUNTS, WE'LL JUST ASK THE AMERICANS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. OK. THANK YOU. The American embassy people have a great sense of humour. A lot of workplace people are experiencing this. Everybody uses smartphone on weekends. Some of the Gmail stuff we heard kim dotcom talking about ` it sounds a bit nutty. He's not really the great face of respectability. As Kiwis, we feel we don't have that much to worry about. It's pretty boring. Choosing e-mails is boring. Going to different sites is boring. Go to our websites. We have different tools for encryption etc. It sounds fantastic. But it makes my eyes roll back my head when you do it. I'm very distrustful of the cloud peter dunne ` there are parliament leaks. The biggest secret around Parliament is what the New Zealand government is going to give the royal baby as a present. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT IS? I DO. IS IT AS GOOD AS AN OPAL-ENCRUSTED RATTLE? OPAL-ENCRUSTED RATTLE? UH... WELL, IT'S NOT THAT, BUT IT'S... I THINK IT'S NICE. THEY'LL LIKE IT. A SOFT KIWI? OH, IT'S A STEP UP FROM A STUFFED KIWI. IN FACT, THE CABINET OFFICE PUT THEIR THINKING CAPS ON, AND SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE PEOPLE BEAVERED AWAY WITH AN IDEA. DO YOU HAVE RIGHTS OF VETO? YEAH, I SUPPOSE IF THEY WANTED TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING WE THOUGHT WASN'T THAT FLASH, WE WOULDN'T DO THAT. IT'S NOT A BUZZY BEE, IS IT? NO. WE'RE GIVING HIM KIM DOTCOM. SEE YOU LATER. Him?? He said him. He said he doesn't know if it's a boy or girl. VOTING FOR THE FIVE CONTENDERS IN OUR SHARP TOWNS SERIES. IT'S BEEN GOING GANGBUSTERS. IT IS NOW CLOSED. WE HAVE A WINNER. BUT FIRST ` A MISTY-EYED LOOK BACK. SISTERS UNDERGROUND'S 'IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD' I THINK IT'S PRETTY SPECIAL. SHARP TOWN? OH MY GOODNESS ME, IT HURTS. INCREDIBLE SKIING IN THE WINTER, AMAZING MOUNTAIN-BIKING, AMAZING RIVERS, WICKED WATER HOLES. IT'S ALSO A GOOD PLACE TO GET ON IT AS WELL. (LAUGHS) # THERE GOES THE NEIGHBOURHOOD. YOU'VE GOT TO COME TO OKAIHAU. YOU JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH. I LOVE OKAIHAU. THERE IS NO OTHER PLACE LIKE THIS. PRISTINE WILDERNESS, AND OUR COMMUNITY JUST LOVE IT. # ROLLING... THIS IS DEFINITELY A RABBIT BLASTER, THIS ONE. IT ATTRACTS LUNATICS WHO HAVE GOT A... HISTORIC BENT. # AND WE'RE ROLLING... # ...IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD. # SOME AUCKLANDERS ARE OK, JUST LIKE SOME OAMARU PEOPLE ARE OK. (LAUGHS) With attitudes like that, I'm a little frightened of going to little towns. We will tell you who the winner is later. STAY WITH US. COMING UP ` A YOUNG KIWI GOING TO THE BIG APPLE TO FILL BIG JIMMY CHOOS. PLUS ` RACISM WRAPPED IN A POLITICAL PARTY, OR A LEGITIMATE NEW VEHICLE FOR NON-MAORI NZERS? AND HE WAS A DAB HAND IN THE WORKSHOP AND HAS SHONE IN THE WORLD CHAMPS. WE UPDATE YOU ON A TOOL BLACK. Buck Shelford. Buck Shelford. Hi. You're here for the heart and diabetes TV ad? You're here for the heart and diabetes TV ad? Yeah. Of course. Of course. What do you mean? Well, heart disease and diabetes kill more than 6000 Kiwis every year. I know. I know. So, I'm a woman ` fat and funny ` and you're a... ex-All Black ` not so funny. So? So? So we've got all of the demographics covered. Not all of them. Not all of them. Oh, hey, guys. Not all of them. Oh, hey, guys. Boom. PEOPLE CHATTER HE STARTED IT AFTER SEEING A STORY ON MAORI-ONLY HOUSING. IT TOOK OFF. HE'S DAVID RUCK. IT'S 'THE PAKEHA PARTY'. IT'S CAUSED A BIT OF A STIR TODAY, ANGER AND BEMUSEMENT, AND ACCORDING TO MR RUCK, SOME SUPPORT. HERE'S JEHAN CASINADER. PARTY MUSIC, LAUGHTER IT SEEMS THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE A 'PAKEHA PARTY'... # HAERE MAI... # AS LONG AS THERE'S A MANA PARTY AND A MAORI PARTY, THERE'LL BE A PAKEHA PARTY. THERE'S A FACEBOOK PAGE BY THAT VERY NAME. THIS MORNING IT HAD 2000 LIKES. NOW? DOUBLE THAT. THE MAN WHO CREATED IT IS NOT HIDING IN THE SHADOWS ` HE'S AUCKLAND BUSINESSMAN DAVID RUCK. THEY MENTIONED ON THE NEWS THAT THE MANA PARTY WERE ASKING FOR CHEAP HOUSING FOR MAORI ONLY, AND IT ANGERED ME A LITTLE BIT, SO I GOT ON FACEBOOK AND SO I STARTED A PAGE CALLED 'THE PAKEHA PARTY' AND IT'S JUST GONE ABSOLUTELY BERSERK. WHY CALL IT 'THE PAKEHA PARTY'? WELL, IT WAS A BLATANT STAB AT THE MANA PARTY. THE PAKEHA PARTY, THE MANA PARTY, THE MAORI PARTY, I REALLY DON'T THINK THERE SHOULD BE ANY RACE-RELATED PARTIES, FULL STOP. AND YET HE'S CREATED EXACTLY THAT. BUT WHAT DOES 'PAKEHA' MEAN? I HAVE COME TO REALISE THAT IT STANDS FOR 'THE OTHERS', AND THEREFORE THE PAKEHA PARTY IS FOR EVERYBODY. DAVID ADMITS HE'S NOT SCHOOLED UP ON MAORI HISTORY. I DON'T KNOW THE ENTIRE HISTORY. I DO KNOW THAT MY ANCESTORS IN PARTICULAR DID NOT DO ANY RAPING, STEALING OR PILLAGING. HE SAYS HIS FOLLOWERS WANT TO TAKE A STAND AGAINST MAORI PRIVILEGE. THEY'RE SICK OF THE SEPARATISM, THEY'RE SICK OF THE MAORI ASKING FOR CERTAIN PRIVILEGES THAT EUROPEAN WOULDN'T BE ENTITLED TO. HE SAYS THE PAGE HAS BECOME SO POPULAR HE'S PLEDGING TO REGISTER A PARTY WITH THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION. IT DOESN'T LOOK THAT DIFFICULT. HOW WOULD THE PM FEEL ABOUT HAVING A PAKEHA PARTY IN THE HOUSE? PEOPLE CAN DO WHAT THEY LIKE, AND RUN WHATEVER POLITICAL PARTY THEY LIKE, BUT WHEN YOU COME TO PARLIAMENT, AS A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT YOU REPRESENT NZ, AND MODERN-DAY NZ IS NOT JUST FULL OF PAKEHA. LET'S SEE HOW PEOPLE WILL CAST THEIR VOTES. I DON'T SEE WHY THEY NEED A PAKEHA PARTY. A PARTY THAT WANTS WHITE PEOPLE TO GET THEIR RIGHTS BACK? THAT'S RACIST! WE'VE NEVER GOT OUR RIGHTS. WE'VE GOT A TREATY THAT'S NOT WORTH TOILET PAPER. JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE MAORI THEY EXPECT MORE THINGS, WHICH ISN'T REALLY FAIR. DAVID IS SO UPFRONT ABOUT HIS PARTY THAT HE HAS PUT HIS OWN NAME TO IT, AND SO HAVE THE PEOPLE WHO'VE COMMENTED ON THE PAGE. THERE'S RACIST PEOPLE ON THE PAGE. I'M NOT OVERLY HAPPY ABOUT THAT. IF SOMEONE PUTS A RACIST COMMENT ON THE PAGE, ANYONE IS WELCOME TO DEBATE THAT COMMENT. IS DAVID RACIST? NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT. THE PAGE WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE RACIST. I HAVE PEOPLE OF ALL DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS WORKING FOR ME, MAORI INCLUDED. I'VE GOT MANY MAORI FRIENDS. HE'LL BE WAITING TO SEE HOW MANY OF THOSE FRIENDS HIT THE 'UNFRIEND' BUTTON. He is getting more and more friends by the minute. 19,000 likes. Let's remember this is not a party. The Maori party was created by actual politicians. Act and United future will tell you that surviving as a political party is not as easy as he thinks. Not everyone agrees with brian tamaki but there are still stories on him. I suspect these guys got a bit carried away when they saw all the likes. I don't think they will start a political party. That is just my take on it. REECE GARRITT. TOP METALWORK APPRENTICE IN THE COUNTRY. COMPETED WORLD SKILLS IN GERMANY. JUST BEHIND THE MEDALLISTS TAIPEI, BRAZIL, KOREA. HE GOT FOURTH FULL TIME FUNDING. FANTASTIC RESULT. STAY WITH US. JUST AFTER THE BREAK ` SHARPEST TOWNS RESULT. 50s male. Severe chest pain. Massive cardiac arrest. 50s male. Severe chest pain. Massive cardiac arrest. Get Cardiology down here now. We're losing him. We're losing him. He's flatlining. We're losing him. He's flatlining. Oh my God. What? What? It's Buck Shelford. Heart disease and diabetes kill more than 6000 Kiwis every year. That's why I had a check-up with my doctor. It was quick and easy. Oh, it's OK. I'm not having a real heart attack. That's good, Buck, cos I'm not a real doctor. That's good, Buck, cos I'm not a real doctor. WHEELS SQUEAK Get a heart and diabetes check ` do it for your family. it's hard for Kiwi actors to get a gig. Our actress tonight has had two huge American shows. She is stephania owen. You go to school in Wellington. You get the best of both worlds? I have two completely different lives. I have exciting New York. And then I want to get home and go back to my friends. I have not lived in lower hutt, but your accent doesn't sound like a native low Hutt exit. I used to live in Florida. I've actually auditioned for some American TV shows. I had to put on an American accent. They said they would call me. Your schoolmates were instrumental in telling you about this gig. I was in class when they told me. I joined twitter and got all these feeds. I called my parents. They already knew. She has been working actress for a long time this is when you are filming a program called running wild. I was trying to teach tim wilson to krump. It was embarrassing. This is your second major American series. This is a fun thing. As long as it's what I want to do. IF it's just for the money, there is no point in that Great to have you in the studio THANK YOU FOR VOTING. YOU REALLY GOT IN BEHIND THIS. THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS VOTED FOR NZ'S SHARPEST TOWN. AND THIS IS HOW THE RESULTS LOOK. here's how the votes came in. Congratulations Oamaru. We're all going to come down to your town and be with you. Reports coming out of Australia that Robbie deans has lost his job. Ewen Mckenzie got the gig. Interesting to see if he comes back here. These pineapple lumps ` pineapple chunks - were made 60 years ago. We will check out the lolly factory tomorrow. CAPTIONS BY JUNE YEOW AND SAM BRADFORD.
