PLENTY OF RAIN ON GISBORNE ROOFS OVERNIGHT, BUT AS THE LOW SKULKS AWAY WITH ITS TAIL BETWEEN ITS LEGS, MORE WET SPONGES ARE BEING LOBBED OUR WAY, THIS TIME FROM THE WEST. GRAB YOUR BROLLY AND THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, IT'S 6 O'CLOCK. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF ONE NEWS, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. FONTERRA'S CONTAMINATION CRISIS DEEPENS AS COUNTRIES BAN THE COMPANY'S PRODUCTS. THE BATTLE AGAINST THE CONTROVERSIAL SPY BILL ` HAS IT AFFECTED THE GOVERNMENT'S POPULARITY? OUR LATEST POLL RESULTS. A HAKA HOORAH ` HAS PIRI WEEPU'S ALL BLACK CAREER BEEN CUT SHORT? AND A CHIEFLY CELEBRATION ` PLAYERS PARTY THE MORNING AWAY AFTER A MIGHTY SUPER RUGBY VICTORY. KIA ORA, GOOD EVENING. FONTERRA'S CONTAMINATION CRISIS IS DEEPENING. MORE PRODUCTS ARE BEING RECALLED, AND SOME COUNTRIES HAVE BANNED THE DAIRY GIANT'S PRODUCTS. FURIOUS GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ARE PUSHING FOR URGENT ACTION AS THE SCARE THREATENS TO TAINT THE COUNTRY'S GLOBAL REPUTATION. FOR THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS, LET'S GO LIVE TO SHARON FERGUSSON. IT'S A TRADE NIGHTMARE. HIGH CONFUSION, HIGH STAKES. MINISTERS JOYCE AND GROSER HAVE BEEN MEETING WITH FONTERRA. A MEDIA BRIEFING HAS JUST ANNOUNCED MORE DETAILS. BUT THEY'RE IN DANGER OF BEING TAINTED BY THE SCANDAL. FONTERRA WOULD BE THE FIRST TO SAY THAT THEY'VE BEEN ON THE BACK FOOT ON THIS ISSUE. THEY WOULD ALSO TELL YOU THAT SOME OF THE INFORMATION THEY'VE INITIALLY RELIED ON HAS CHANGED. WHILE SOME BATCHES OF NUTRICIA'S KARICARE FOLLOW-ON FORMULA THAT MAY HAVE BEEN CONTAMINATED HAVE BEEN RECALLED, THERE ARE REPORTS IT'S STILL ON SOME SUPERMARKET SHELVES. THERE WAS ACTIVITY AT THE AUCKLAND NUTRICIA OFFICE TODAY, BUT NO ONE WAS ANSWERING CALLS. SO UNTIL THE COMPANIES CONCERNED ARE IN A POSITION TO PROVIDE EXACTLY PRECISE INFORMATION, I THINK WE'VE GOT TO EXPECT A WIDE BAN, AND THE STRATEGY WILL BE, WHEN WE HAVE THAT INFORMATION TO SEEK TO NARROW THAT DOWN AND I HOPE ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM IN TIME. THE TAINTED INGREDIENT WENT TO FACTORIES IN CHINA, AUSTRALIA, MALAYSIA, THAILAND, SAUDI ARABIA AND VIETNAM, AND ALTHOUGH IT DIDN'T GO TO RUSSIA, THERE ARE REPORTS THE COUNTRY HAS BANNED ALL FONTERRA PRODUCTS ANYWAY. THE ENTIRE WORLD KNOWS ABOUT THIS, AND DIFFERENT COUNTRIES ARE TAKING DIFFERENT POSITIONS. AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY APPROPRIATE THAT THEY SHOULD. CHINA IS RECALLING PRODUCTS SUPPLIED BY FONTERRA EVEN THOUGH THE CONTAMINATED WHEY WASN'T USED IN ANY FONTERRA PRODUCTS. THIS IS ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE, AND I'M SURE IT'S WHAT OUR AUTHORITIES WOULD DO IF THE BOOT WAS ON THE OTHER FOOT. IT'S DREDGING UP MEMORIES OF THE 2008 MELAMINE SCARE FOR THE FORMER PRIME MINISTER. TRANSPARENCY IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT WHERE YOU'RE DEALING WITH A FOOD PRODUCT WHICH CAN BE LIFE AND DEATH FOR THOSE WHO CONSUME IT. THOSE WHO CONSUME IT WOULD LIKE THAT TOO. SO, SHARON, WHAT'S COME OUT OF THIS MEETING SO FAR? FONTERRA ARE SAYING THEY'LL REVEAL THE COMPANIES AND BRANDS AFFECTED. REGULATORS ABROAD CAN ACT UPON THOSE. COCA-COLA IN CHINA WERE SOLD THE CONTAMINATED WHEY, BUT THEY SAY MANUFACTURING WILL HAVE MADE THE FOOD SAFE. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHERS - VITACO IN NZ, WHO MAKE ENERGY DRINKS - WHO ALSO SAY THAT PROCESSING WOULD HAVE MADE THE PRODUCT SAFE. FONTERRA WANT TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT ALL FRESH PRODUCTS ARE SAFE, AS ARE ALL FONTERRA -BRANDED PRODUCTS. BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF CONTAMINATION ARE: THESE NUMBERS CAN BE FOUND ON THE BASE OF THE TIN. CHINA'S REACTION TO THE SCANDAL HAS EXPORTERS HERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRADE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES. CHINA IS NZ'S TOP EXPORT MARKET, WORTH NEARLY $7B A YEAR. BRIAR WELLS REPORTS. SUPERMARKET SHELVES IN CHINA ARE PACKED WITH INFANT FORMULA MADE HERE IN NZ. IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US. IT'S A MAJOR MARKET AND IT'S GOT HUGE POTENTIAL. MARCO MARINKOVICH HAS BEEN EXPORTING HIS INFANT FORMULA TO CHINA FOR TWO YEARS. HE'S WORRIED THIS LATEST SCARE COULD AFFECT OUR EXPORT REPUTATION. BRAND PERCEPTION OF NZ, IT'S LINKED WITH US AS A MANUFACTURER AND ALSO WITH FONTERRA. FONTERRA'S SO BIG THAT IT DOES HAVE AN INFLUENCE ON WHAT THE MARKET PERCEIVES NZ AS. IN APRIL, CHINA OVERTOOK AUSTRALIA TO BECOME NZ'S BIGGEST EXPORT MARKET. MEAT AND WOOD ARE HUGELY POPULAR, BUT MILK POWDER, BUTTER AND CHEESE CONTINUE TO BE THE HIGHEST-VALUE EXPORT, WORTH AROUND $2.2BN ANNUALLY. EXPORTS TO CHINA HAVE MORE THAN TRIPLED SINCE THE FREE TRADE AGREEMENT WAS SIGNED IN 2008. EXPORTERS SAY IT'S TAKEN TIME TO DEVELOP A RELATIONSHIP WITH CHINA AND THIS LATEST SCARE COULD PUT THAT IN JEOPARDY. CHINA KNOWS THAT WE DO HAVE GOOD FOOD SAFETY SYSTEMS IN THE COUNTRY. NOW THEY HAVE BEEN SHOWN UP TWICE BY FONTERRA IN A YEAR. NZ HAS A GREAT DEAL OF WORK TO REBUILD THAT CONFIDENCE. THE STORY SPLASHED ALL OVER CHINESE MEDIA, A SECOND NZ DAIRY COMPANY HAS RECALLED TAINTED DAIRY PRODUCTS. WE NEED TO BE EXTREMELY MINDFUL OF HOW REPUTATIONS ARE WON AND LOST IN THE NEW SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN. EXPORTERS NOW DEMANDING A VIGOROUS RESPONSE FROM THE GOVERNMENT TO FIX A STRAINED TRADE RELATIONSHIP. BRIAR WELLS, ONE NEWS. AND IT'S NOT JUST TRADE WITH CHINA IN JEOPARDY. THE CRISIS COULD HAVE SOME SERIOUS KNOCK-ON EFFECTS ON OUR WHOLE ECONOMY. FOR MORE, HERE'S POLITICAL EDITOR CORIN DANN. CORIN, THE GOVERNMENT SWINGING INTO ACTION TODAY? JOYCE, GROSER, KEY, ALL WORKING ON THIS. 60 MINISTRY OFFICIALS WORKING DAY AND NIGHT. NOT DIRECTLY, SO LONG AS THEY RESPOND PROPERLY. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE AND, FRANKLY, THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE TO BE POLITICISED. IT'S REALLY TOO SERIOUS. IT DOES OF COURSE COME AFTER A TERRIBLE FEW WEEKS FOR NATIONAL AND JOHN KEY, AND THAT IS REFLECTED IN OUR LATEST COLMAR-BRUNTON POLITICAL POLL WHICH HAS NATIONAL DOWN AND A BIG JUMP FOR THE GREENS. STAND UP! FIGHT BACK! DEBATE OVER THE ROLE OF OUR SPIES HAS DOMINATED POLITICS THIS WINTER. RESISTANCE TO JOHN KEY'S GCSB SPY BILL BECOMING INCREASINGLY UNCOMFORTABLE. WHY ARE YOU TURNING RED, PRIME MINISTER? I'M NOT. BUT LABOUR COULDN'T CAPITALISE, AND EVEN WITH A WELCOME BY-ELECTION WIN, SEEMED BENT ON SELF-DESTRUCTION. A PROPOSED BAN ON MEN STANDING IN SOME ELECTORATES PUT DAVID SHEARER IN THE DOGHOUSE. IS THIS DAMAGING TO YOUR LEADERSHIP? NO. WHY DO YOU SAY THAT? BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE IT IS. AND BENEFITING FROM ALL THIS IS AN INCREASINGLY ASSERTIVE GREEN PARTY. IT'S A BIT LIKE THE URGENCY PROCESS YOU'RE PUSHING THROUGH THE HOUSE, ISN'T IT, JOHN? YOU DON'T WANT ANYONE TO HEAR ABOUT IT, DO YOU? BUT VOTERS ARE LISTENING. IN OUR LATEST ONE NEWS COLMAR-BRUNTON POLL THE GREENS HAVE SURGED FIVE POINTS TO 14% ` THEIR HIGHEST RANKING IN OVER 10 YEARS. NATIONAL IS DOWN THREE POINTS TO 46%. LABOUR IS UNCHANGED IN THIS POLL ON 33%, AS IS NZ FIRST ON 3% AND THE MAORI PARTY ON 2%. ACT IS ALSO STEADY AT 1%, WHILE THE CONSERVATIVES ARE DOWN ONE TO 1%. WHEN CONVERTED INTO SEATS IN THE HOUSE, IT'S TOO CLOSE TO CALL. NATIONAL WOULD HAVE 58 SEATS, AND WITH THE EXTRA SEATS OF PETER DUNNE AND ACT WOULD HAVE 60. LABOUR WOULD HAVE 42 SEATS. WHEN COMBINED WITH THE GREENS' 17 AND MANA'S ONE, IT WOULD ALSO HAVE 60. IN A PARLIAMENT OF 123 SEATS, THAT LEAVES THE MAORI PARTY AND ITS THREE SEATS AS THE KINGMAKER. THIS ASSUMES ALL CURRENT ELECTORATE SEATS ARE HELD. WITH HIS LEADERSHIP UNDER FIRE, DAVID SHEARER ROLLED THE DICE BY ANNOUNCING A POLICY TO BAN FOREIGNERS BUYING HOUSES. LET'S GET ON THE SIDE OF NZERS RATHER THAN ON THE SIDE OF FOREIGN SPECULATORS AND SHUT THEM OUT. AND WHILE SOME SAY HIS LEADERSHIP IS STILL ROUGH ROUND THE EDGES, DAVID SHEARER DOES APPEAR TO BE MAKING PROGRESS. HE'S UP ONE POINT IN THE PREFERRED PRIME MINISTER STAKES THIS POLL TO 13. JOHN KEY, HOWEVER, SLIPPING ONE TO 41. JOHN KEY AND DAVID SHEARER MAY WANT TO SHAKE OFF THE LAST FEW WEEKS. THE GREENS, HOWEVER, HAVE PLENTY TO CELEBRATE. COUPLE OF THINGS TO TAKE FROM POLL ` AMARGIN OR ERROR OF +/- 3.1%. DESPITE NOT GAINING, LABOUR WILL BE PRETTY HAPPY. VERY WOBBLY FEW WEEKS UNDER SHEARER. SEEMED TO HAVE STEADIED THE SHIP, SHEARER ON SAFER GROUND. AS FOR THE GREENS, THIS IS REWARD FOR STRONG SHOWING FROM NORMAN ` HIS QUESTIONS ON GCSB THAT LED TO THE REVELATION OF ANDREA VANCE'S PHONE RECORDS. NATIONAL WILL BE CONCERNED ONCE AGAIN. THIS SHOWS HOW LITTLE ROOM IT HAS FOR ERROR. TO AUSTRALIAN POLITICS, AND PRIME MINISTER KEVIN RUDD HAS JUST IN THE PAST HOUR NAMED A DATE FOR A GENERAL ELECTION. THIS COMES JUST SIX WEEKS AFTER OUSTING JULIA GILLARD AS LABOR LEADER. LET'S GO LIVE NOW TO AUSTRALIA CORRESPONDENT STEVE MARSHALL IN SYDNEY. SEPTEMBER 7 FOR A GENERAL ELECTION. RUDD HEADED STRAIGHT TO THE GOVERNMENT-GENERAL'S HOUSE TO ASK FOR PARLIAMENT TO BE DISSOLVED. LATEST POLLING HAS LABOUR NECK-AND-NECK WITH THE OPPOSITION. RUDD IS PERSONALLY POPULAR. THERE'LL BE A FEW HAPPY HEADACHES TONIGHT AFTER THE MIGHTY CHIEFS WON BACK-TO-BACK SUPER RUGBY TITLES. BUT 25,000 FANS HAD A NERVOUS WAIT BEFORE THE GAME WAS FINALLY SEALED. HERE'S ABBY SCOTT WITH THE CELEBRATIONS FROM HAMILTON. THE SMILES STILL PLASTERED ON THEIR FACES AFTER A HUGE NIGHT. NOW OBVIOUSLY WE'VE BEEN ENJOYING IT AND HAVING A FEW BEERS AND GETTING AROUND FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND JUST ENJOYING THE MOMENT. CAPTAIN CRAIG CLARKE'S FINAL CHIEFS MOMENT. HE'S ONE OF FIVE PLAYERS HEADING OFFSHORE. THEIR DEPARTURE MOTIVATING MAN OF THE MATCH LIAM MESSAM. ALL THE BOYS THAT ARE LEAVING RIGHT NOW ARE REALLY CLOSE TO MY HEART, SO I JUST REALLY WANTED TO DO IT FOR THEM. WHILE THE DAY AFTER THEY WERE UNDERSTANDABLY CAMERA WARY,... LAST NIGHT WAS A DIFFERENT STORY. THE SELL-OUT CROWD WAS TREATED TO A SHOW. I WAS CRYING AT THE FIRST HALF COS I THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO LOSE, BUT SECOND HALF THEY CAME BACK. IT WAS A BIT STRESSFUL. GOOD WIN, MATE. GOOD WIN. HEY, THANKS, BUDDY. ENJOY YOUR FLIGHT BACK TO AUSTRALIA. THE CROWD WAS PROBABLY OUR 16TH MAN ON THE FIELD TONIGHT. COME TUESDAY IT WON'T JUST BE THE PINT-SIZED FANS. VICTORIA ST WILL BE LINED WITH CHIEFS SUPPORTERS OF ALL AGES TRYING TO GET A GLIMPSE OF THEIR BACK-TO-BACK CHAMPIONS AS THEY WALK DOWN HERE FOR THEIR VICTORY PARADE. THERE'S LOTS OF TALK GOING ON ABOUT WHETHER WE SHOULD GIVE THEM THE KEY TO THE CITY OR MAKE THEM OFFICIAL AMBASSADORS OR SOMETHING, AND I THINK WHEN I GET INTO MY DESK ON MONDAY AND HAVE A BIT OF A THINK ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE THIS IS OUTSTANDING WHAT THEY'VE DONE BACK-TO-BACK WINS... RAUCOUS, GLEEFUL SINGING ONCE THE CELEBRATIONS FINALLY WRAP UP, THE TEAM WILL BE LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT YEAR AND THEIR CHANCE TO MATCH THE CRUSADERS WITH A SUPER RUGBY THREE-PEAT. ABBY SCOTT, ONE NEWS. COMING UP ON ONE NEWS ` THE WORLD'S FIRST TRANSGENDER MP HAS A NEW CAUSE: CAMPAIGNING FOR ORGAN DONATION. FEARS AN INCREASE IN GUN VIOLENCE IS SPIRALLING OUT OF CONTROL ACROSS THE DITCH. NEW DAD PRINCE WILLIAM TAKES A BREAK FROM PARENTING DUTIES. AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE HUTT. THE SKI FIELD REACHES THE BIG 4-0 WITH A BANG. TINKLING MUSIC Did you know there's a way to set up your smartphone so that your favourite websites are just a click away? You can create a list of bookmarks or create shortcuts straight to your home screen so there's no need to type in the entire website address every time. Whenever you're on a web page that you like, add a bookmark, and that way you'll end up with a list of your favourites. So now you can just open your bookmarks list and click once to revisit any of those sites. And for the websites that you visit the most often, it's really handy to choose the 'add shortcut to home screen' option. That way you don't even have to open your internet browser. You can just click the icon, and it takes you straight there. Whether you just like to get things done fast or you're prone to typos, bookmarks and shortcuts are really useful. Each web browser works a bit differently, but the principle is the same, so have a go and find out how they work on your smartphone. Or I'll give you a step-by-step demo at techinasec.co.nz SHE BLAZED A TRAIL AS THE WORLD'S FIRST OPENLY TRANSGENDER MP. NOW GEORGINA BEYER IS CAMPAIGNING AGAIN. THIS TIME FOR THE CAUSE OF ORGAN DONATION. THE FORMER POLITICAN WAS RECENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH ORGAN FAILURE, AND IS NOW, LIKE HUNDREDS OF OTHER KIWIS, WAITING FOR A NEW KIDNEY. RYAN BOSWELL REPORTS. GEORGINA BEYER'S USED TO THE HARD KNOCKS OF POLITICS, BUT KIDNEY FAILURE'S PROVING TO BE TOUGHER THAN SHE EVER IMAGINED. OH, QUITE UNWELL. OH, GOD, YES. I COULDN'T WALK DOWN TO THE DAIRY AND BACK WITHOUT FEELING EXTREMELY FATIGUED AND JUST CRAP, FRANKLY. THE 55-YEAR-OLD NEEDS KIDNEY DIALYSIS FOUR TIMES A DAY TO RID HER BODY OF TOXINS. YES, OF COURSE THE ULTIMATE REALLY WOULD BE TO GET A TRANSPLANT AT SOME STAGE. BUT GIVEN MORE THAN 600 PEOPLE WAIT FOR THE SAME OPERATION EACH YEAR AND ONLY 100 TRANSPLANTS PERFORMED, THAT'S UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN ANY TIME SOON. SO, OBVIOUSLY A BIG SHORTFALL, AND PEOPLE WAIT FOR SOME YEARS BEFORE THEY WOULD COME UP FOR A TRANSPLANT. HALF OF ALL KIDNEY DONATIONS COME FROM LIVE DONORS, AND EVEN THOUGH MANY OF US WANT TO DONATE IN THE EVENT OF DEATH, JUST 0.5% ARE SUITABLE. YOU HAVE TO PASS AWAY IN AN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT, YOU HAVE TO FILL THE CRITERIA WHICH HAS BEEN AGREED ON AROUND THE WORLD FOR MAKING SURE THAT THE PERSON IS BRAIN-DEAD. A CLEAR REASON WHY THE EXPERTS ARE FOCUSED ON LIVE DONORS. AT THE MOMENT, THAT'S PROBABLY THE THING THAT WE CAN INCREASE THE EASIEST, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT IMPROVING THE INFORMATION THAT WE CAN GIVE TO PEOPLE WHO MIGHT WANT TO BE LIVE DONORS. LIKE FORMER ALL BLACK JONAH LOMU, GEORGINA BEYER SAYS IT WOULD CHANGE HER LIFE. OH, YES, AND I'M NOT WRITING OFF BEING ABLE TO EASE BACK INTO IT EVEN IF I'M STILL DOING DIALYSIS AT THE NEXT EITHER LOCAL BODY ELECTIONS OR... WHO KNOWS, ANYTHING THAT MIGHT BE HAPPENING EARLIER. (LAUGHS) PROVING ATTITUDE IS KEY TO GETTING BACK TO NORMAL. RYAN BOSWELL, ONE NEWS. GUN VIOLENCE ACROSS THE TASMAN IS REACHING ALARMING LEVELS AS NEW SOUTH WALES POLICE STRUGGLE TO CONTROL A CRIMINAL CULTURE LIVING AND DYING BY THE GUN. SO FAR THIS YEAR EIGHT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MURDERED IN 72 SHOOTINGS ACROSS SYDNEY, TERRIFYING LOCALS AND EXPAT KIWIS. AUSTRALIA CORRESPONDENT STEVE MARSHALL REPORTS. POLICE CORDONS AND CARS RIDDLED WITH BULLETS ` CONFRONTING SCENES FOR SYDNEY RESIDENTS, WITH WARNINGS THE HARBOUR CITY IS FACING AN EXPLOSION IN GUN VIOLENCE TO RIVAL LOS ANGELES 30 YEARS AGO. I'M WORRIED THAT A DAY WILL COME WHEN AN INNOCENT PERSON IS CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE. EXPAT NZER ABE HENARA IS WORRIED TOO. THE HEALTH FOOD REP CHECKED CRIME LEVELS IN THE SUBURB OF MAROUBRA, IN SYDNEY'S SOUTH, BEFORE HE MOVED THERE. THERE WAS ONLY ONE SHOOTING, A FEW YEARS BACK, SO THAT WAS A BIT OF A RELIEF. BUT WITH 14 SHOOTINGS AND FOUR DEATHS ACROSS SYDNEY IN JULY ALONE, THE HAMILTONIAN DOESN'T FEEL SO SAFE ANY MORE. WE'RE LETTING OUR YOUNG PEOPLE FIND THEMSELVES IN A SITUATION WHERE THEY'LL BE INVOLVED IN DRUGS, GANGS, OR OTHERWISE ` JUST THE WRONG CROWD, LETTING THEM BE IN THAT SITUATION FOR THE SHOOTINGS TO HAPPEN. SO YEAH, IT'S VERY ALARMING. BIKIE WARS OVER DRUGS AND TERRITORY ARE BEING BLAMED. SO TOO ARE MIDDLE EASTERN-ORGANISED CRIME GANGS. BUT NSW POLICE INSIST SYDNEY IS NOT IN THE GRIP OF A LETHAL GANG WAR. AT THE HEART OF THIS PROBLEM IS ACCESS TO GUNS, PARTICULARLY HANDGUNS, AND THAT'S GOT OFFICIALS HERE TAKING AIM AT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THE NSW PREMIER BLAMES BUDGET CUTS TO CUSTOMS AND FEDERAL POLICE FOR THE INCREASE IN FIREARMS ON HIS STREETS. HANDGUNS HAVEN'T BEEN MANUFACTURED IN THIS COUNTRY FOR MANY YEARS. THEY COME INTO THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY. IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S FAILURE TO ENSURE THAT ITEMS THAT COME INTO AUSTRALIA THROUGH THE POST OR IN SHIPPING CONTAINERS ARE PROPERLY CHECKED. A 70-STRONG NATIONAL ANTI-GANG TASKFORCE WAS ANNOUNCED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN MARCH, BUT IT WON'T START WORK UNTIL EARLY NEXT YEAR. UNTIL THEN SYDNEY RESIDENTS, LIKE NZER ABE HENARA, WILL AIM TO KEEP THEIR HEADS DOWN. STEVE MARSHALL, ONE NEWS, SYDNEY.

PRINCE WILLIAM HAS MADE HIS FIRST PUBLIC OUTING SINCE BECOMING A DAD. THE EVENT WAS A CHARITY POLO MATCH WITH HIS BROTHER, PRINCE HARRY. THE ABC'S KIRIT RADIA HAS MORE. TODAY, PRINCE WILLIAM TRADED IN DIAPERS AND BABY BOTTLES FOR A POLO HORSE, TAKING A BREAK FROM PATERNITY LEAVE TO PLAY A CHARITY MATCH ALONGSIDE HIS BROTHER, PRINCE HARRY. IT'S THE FIRST TIME THE NEW ROYAL DAD HAS BEEN SEEN SINCE PRINCE GEORGE WAS BORN. THE YOUNG PRINCE AND HIS MOTHER, KATE, DIDN'T MAKE THE TRIP, INSTEAD REMAINING AT HER PARENTS' HOUSE IN BUCKLEBERRY ` A SIGN THE MIDDLETONS, NOT JUST THE ROYAL FAMILY, WILL PLAY A KEY ROLE IN THE BOY'S LIFE. BUT EVEN THOUGH BABY GEORGE WASN'T THERE, HIS PROUD DAD COULDN'T STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM, AT LEAST BEYOND THE RANGE OF MICROPHONES, REPORTEDLY TELLING PEOPLE THAT GEORGE LIKES TO MOVE AND WIGGLE. AND THAT HE'S KEEPING THE FIRST-TIME PARENTS ON THEIR TOES. I DON'T THINK BEING MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY EXEMPTS WILLIAM AND KATE FROM, YOU KNOW, SLEEPLESS NIGHTS. PRINCE WILLIAM SAID RIGHT NOW HIS LIFE IS ALL ABOUT DIAPERS, DIAPERS, DIAPERS. ADDING THAT HIS HEAD WASN'T IN THE MATCH BECAUSE HE'S IN BABY MODE. AFTERWARD, A GIFT FOR PRINCE GEORGE ` HIS FIRST MINI POLO MALLET. PRINCE WILLIAM IS EXPECTED TO RETURN TO WORK AS AN RAF SEARCH AND RESCUE PILOT LATER THIS WEEK. LOOKING AT OUR TOP STORIES TONIGHT ` THERE ARE FEARS FONTERRA'S CONTAMINATION CRISIS IS DEEPENING AND THREATENING OUR GLOBAL REPUTATION. SOME COUNTRIES HAVE BANNED THE DAIRY GIANT'S PRODUCTS, AND MORE PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. OUR GOVERNMENT IS PUSHING FOR URGENT ACTION. SUPPORT FOR THE GREENS HAS REACHED THE HIGHEST LEVEL IN A DECADE, ACCORDING TO THE LATEST COLMAR-BRUNTON POLL. THAT SURGE MEANS THE CENTRE LEFT IS NOW NECK-AND-NECK WITH NATIONAL. ANDREW'S HERE WITH SPORT, AND THE ALL BLACKS 28 IS OUT? THE FULL RUNDOWN ON THE SQUAD NEXT, AS A NEW WELLINGTON TEST HALFBACK SPARES A THOUGHT FOR HIS OLD MATE ON SQUAD NAMING DAY. LOOK WHO'S PLAYING FOR NORTHLAND. PLUS, WHAT ABOUT THOSE CHIEFS AS WELL? WE'RE WITH THE CHAMPIONS AND THEIR MAN OF STEEL FOR THEIR CELEBRATIONS. AND KEVIN PIETERSEN COMES TO ENGLAND'S RESCUE IN THE ASHES BUT CAN THE AUSSIES STILL UPSET THE FORM BOOK? TO THE CHIEFS' STUNNING SUPER RUGBY TITLE VICTORY IN JUST A MOMENT, BUT FIRST, THE ALL BLACKS HAVE DROPPED PIRI WEEPU FROM THEIR SQUAD OF 28 FOR THE UPCOMING RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP. THE SELECTORS HAVE CONFIRMED THREE HALFBACKS, BUT WEEPU MISSES THE CUT. AARON SMITH, TAWERA KERR-BARLOW AND YOUNG HURRICANE TJ PERENARA ARE THE THREE HALFBACKS SELECTED. WITH RENE RANGER'S UNAVAILABILITY, BLUES TEAMMATE CHARLES PIUTAU COVERS THE OUTSIDE BACKS, IN THE FORWARDS, VICTOR VITO MISSES OUT AFTER 22 TESTS. PROP WYATT CROCKETT IS NAMED, BUT WILL MISS THE BLEDISLOE TEST IN TWO WEEKS. THREE PLAYERS ALSO TRAIN WITH THE TEAM AS INJURY COVER - LOCK JEREMY THRUSH, MIDFIELDER FRANCIS SAILI AND WING FRANK HALAI. HOWEVER, THE TALKING POINT IS PIRI WEEPU'S AXING. PIRI WEEPU WAS AT THIS WEEK'S ALL BLACKS TRAINING CAMP, BUT IS NOW GONE. THE ISSUE, WE FELT, IS THAT HE HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO PLAY THE TYPE OF GAME THAT WE WANT HIM TO PLAY. THAT'S ABOUT THE PACE OF THE GAME. 71-TEST WEEPU WILL NOW PLAY FOR AUCKLAND IN THE ITM CUP TO TRY TO MAKE A RETURN. TODAY HE POSTED ON TWITTER IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME HE'S BEEN LEFT OUT. HE'S GOT A CERTAIN SKILL SET WE REALLY LIKE, BUT IF HE CAN'T PLAY AT THE PACE OF THE GAME WE PLAY AT, THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT. HE UNDERSTANDS THAT. IT'S DIFFICULT, IT WAS A DIFFICULT CONVERSATION. THE BIG WINNER OUT OF THE WEEPU DECISION IS HIS FORMER WELLINGTON CHARGE, UNCAPPED TJ PERENARA (21). BACK AT HIS OLD SCHOOL TODAY, SUPRISED, AND SPARING A THOUGHT FOR HIS MATE. HE HAS BEEN A HUGE INFLUENCE ON MY CAREER. HE'S BEEN KEY ON GETTING ME TO WHERE I AM NOW. HE STILL HELPS ME TODAY. WE'VE SHARED MESSAGES SINCE THE TEAM'S BEEN NAMED. HE'S GONNA HELP ME THROUGH MY CAREER, WHEREVER I GET TO. RENE RANGER ALSO TRAINED IN CAMP LAST WEEK, BUT TURNED DOWN THE SELECTORS, CHOOSING NORTHLAND AHEAD OF THE ALL BLACKS TO REMAIN CLOSER TO FAMILY BEFORE HEADING TO FRANCE. HE TURNED OUT FOR HIS PROVINCE TODAY. IT'S NOT AN EASY THING TO WALK AWAY FROM THE ALL BLACKS JERSEY BUT WE SUPPORT HIM IN THE DECISION HE'S MADE. CRUSADERS BACKUP LOOSEHEAD PROP JOE MOODY'S SUDDEN ELEVATION IS CONFIRMED, A NEW FACE IN A TEAM THAT LOOKS FRESHER EACH CAMPAIGN. THE DOOR'S NEVER SHUT FOR ANYBODY THAT'S NOT PICKED. THINK OUTSTANDING CHIEFS LEADER LIAM MESSAM, WHO MISSED OUT THE COACH SAYS THE TEAM'S SELECTED TO WIN NOW, BUT THERE'S CLEARLY ALSO A NOD TO THE FUTURE. FIVE OF THE CHIEFS HAVE MADE THE ALL BLACKS SQUAD, REWARD FOR THE SUPER SIDE BECOMING JUST THE FOURTH FRANCHISE TO CLAIM BACK TO BACK TITLES. BUT THE DEFENDING CHAMPIONS ONLY CAME TO LIFE IN THE FINAL QUARTER AGAINST THE BRUMBIES. HERE'S STEPHEN STUART. CHEERS, SINGING DOUBLE DELIGHT ` BUT ALSO WIDE OF THE MARK EARLY WAS THE CHIEFS' PLAYER OF THE SEASON AARON CRUDEN, IN WHAT WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE A TIGHT FINAL AGAINST A CRAFTY BRUMBIES OUTFIT. IT'S BEEN A TRICKY OLD SEASON, TO BE FAIR. IT'S BEEN A LITTLE BIT HIT AND MISS. EVEN MORE CONCERNING WAS THE SUFFOCATING THAT LED TO THE OPENING TRY TO ONE-TIME WAIKATO NPC PLAYER CHRISTIAN LEIALIIFANO. THE INTERCEPT ` WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT IN THE COACHES' BOX. FELT IT WAS ALWAYS GONNA COME. WE PUT OURSELVES UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE THERE. SO MUCH FOR BEING TRAVEL-WEARY ` THE BRUMBIES KEPT TAKING THEIR POINTS AND SOME CATCHING. WITH 20 MINUTES TO GO IN THAT GAME, DOWN BY 10, THERE WASN'T A LOT OF PANIC. WE KNEW WHAT WE HAD TO DO. THE DEFENCE TIGHTENED, AND THEN FINALLY THE BRUMBIES CRACKED, AS LIAM MESSAM SPARKED A FINAL-QUARTER REVIVAL. THROUGH HE GOES! NO FLANKER THERE. HIS DEFENCE WAS ALSO CRUNCHING IN A MAN-OF-THE-MATCH PERFORMANCE. STRANGELY OFF-LIMITS LAST NIGHT, HE INVITED US TO THE TEAM CELEBRATIONS IN A HAMILTON BAR TODAY, AND EXPLAINED THE SECRET OF THEIR SUCCESS. BIGGEST FACTOR IS THE CULTURE THAT WE HAVE IN THIS TEAM. WE'RE WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO WIN ANY GAME. HIGHLIGHTED BY THE DEPTH OF THE BENCH THAT SECURED THE LATE RUN TO THE TITLE. I THOUGHT THEY WERE INSPIRATIONAL, AND THAT TURNED THE GAME FOR US. THEY DON'T WANNA LET EACH OTHER DOWN, AND JUST KEEP WORKING FOR EACH OTHER, ESPECIALLY WHEN SOMEONE GIVES AWAY A PENALTY LATE IN THE PIECE. FORTUNATELY HIS KICKING CAME RIGHT WHEN IT COUNTED MOST, AND THE TWO-TIME CHAMPIONS ACHIEVED THEIR GOAL OF BACK-TO-BACK. SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE FOR SOME TIME TO COME. STEPHEN STUART, ONE NEWS. FREESTYLE SWIMMER LAUREN BOYLE HAS CAPPED AN OUTSTANDING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS IN BARCELONA WITH A THIRD BRONZE MEDAL. HAVING BROKEN HER OWN 800M NATIONAL RECORD IN THE HEATS, BOYLE LINED UP AGAINST AMERICAN SENSATION KATIE LEDECKY IN THE FINAL, THE 25 YEAR OLD TRYING TO STAY WITH THE TEENAGER. LAUREN BOYLE KINDA HANGING IN THERE A LITTLE BIT. YOU KNOW, WHEN SHE SWAM THAT 1500, POOR GIRL, SHE WAS ONLY 2 SECONDS OFF THE WORLD RECORD YET SHE FINISHED WAY BACK BEHIND LEDECKY. I WAS ACTUALLY SHOCKED, KEEPING UP WITH KATIE. SO I WAS REALLY HAPPY. LEDECKY BROKE THE WORLD RECORD, WHILE THIRD PLACED BOYLE TOOK A FURTHER 1.5 SECONDS OFF HER OWN MARK. THE NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS HAVE EMERGED FROM ONE OF OF THE MOST TURBULENT WEEKS IN THEIR LEAGUE HISTORY TO STUN NRL FRONT-RUNNERS SOUTH SYDNEY 30-12. WHILE SOUTHS APPEAR TO BE STUMBLING, MANLY'S FINALS CHARGE IS GAINING MOMENTUM. JOE PORTER HAS MORE. WITH EIGHT WINS FROM THEIR LAST NINE GAMES AGAINST THE COWBOYS, THE RABBITOHS WERE SUPPOSED TO RUN RIOT IN TOWNSVILLE. BOWEN COMES OVER THE TOP. HERE'S A CHANCE FOR FELT. HE HAS TATE BACK ON THE INSIDE... AND BRENT TATE SCORES! NORTH QUEENSLAND SACKED COACH NEIL HENRY DURING THE WEEK, AND WHILE SOUTHS TRIED THEIR BEST, IT WAS THE COWBOYS WHO WERE DEALING THE BODY BLOWS. TARIQ SIMS IS WITH HIM. HE CAN RUN, REYNOLDS. CHASING... WHAT A FEND! 12-0 AT HALF-TIME, THE COWBOYS STAMPEDING THE SYDNEYSIDERS. NOW THURSTON... IT GOES TO BOWEN. LOOKING FOR ANOTHER TRY. HE GIVES IT TO LUI, AND THERE IT IS! THROW IN AN INTERCEPT, AND THE RABBIT STEW WAS DONE 30-12, SOUTHS STUCK IN SECOND PLACE. BUT THE SEA EAGLES' SURGE IS ACCELERATING. GEORGE TAUFUA KEEPS THE TRIES COMING IN 2013. 16-0 AT HALF-TIME, A FORMER MANLY FORWARD DOING HIS BEST TO KEEP THE BIRDS OF PREY AT BAY, BUT THE HAPLESS EELS SHOULD HAVE STAYED HOME. NOW BRETT STEWART RUNNING ON TO A WONDERFUL FLAT SHORT BALL. BRETT STEWART SCORING HIS 12TH TRY IN 11 GAMES AGAINST PARRAMATTA. 40-6 THE FINAL SCORE, THE SEA EAGLES STORMING ABOVE MELBOURNE TO THIRD ON THE LADDER.

MARTIN TASKER REPORTS FROM SAN FRANCISCO. A RESTED AND REVITALISED TEAM NZ BACK ON THE WATER TODAY, TRYING OUT A NUMBER OF MODS BY THE SHORE CREW INCLUDING NEW AERODYNAMIC FAIRINGS TO MAKE THE BOAT GO QUICKER, PARTICULARLY UPWIND. THE ORACLE BOYS ARE VERY QUICK TO POINT OUT THAT THEY FELT THEY HAD A SPEED EDGE ON US WITH THE BOAT AS IT CAME OUT OF THE SHED BACK IN AUCKLAND. SO WE HAVE BEEN WORKING INCREDIBLY HARD ON OUR UPWIND PERFORMANCE, AND I THINK WE ARE DEFINITELY SEEING SOME BENEFITS OF THAT. THE BOAT HAS IMPROVED DRAMATICALLY SINCE WE'VE BEEN HERE, AND WE HOPE TO MAKE ANOTHER STEP AGAIN. SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN SMALL, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF THEM, AND THEY'RE ALL ADDING UP. IT'S ATTENTION TO DETAIL. IT'S PARTLY ABOUT THE WAY THE GUYS ARE SAILING THE BOAT. THEY ARE NOT EASY BOATS TO SAIL WELL. WE'VE BEEN THROUGH ANOTHER GENERATION OF APPENDAGES SINCE AUCKLAND, AND THOSE HAVE CERTAINLY HELPED. SHE'S DEFINITELY GOING QUICKER. THAT SAID, THE KIWI CREW DID APPEAR TO HAVE A FEW ISSUES. WE WERE WATCHING YOU TODAY. THERE'S A FEW WOBBLES THAT SEEM TO LEAP OUT OF THE AIR NOW AND AGAIN. SHOULD WE BE CONCERNED? NO, AGAIN, IT'S ALL PART OF THE GUYS PUSHING THE ENVELOPE, REALLY. NO. I THINK YOU'VE SEEN THE GUYS LOOKING PRETTY SLICK ON RACE DAY. I WOULD RELY ON THAT IMAGE.

IN FACT, EVERYONE HAS A SPECIFIC JOB. PEOPLE HERE, ANIMALS THERE, FLUFFY THINGS THERE. THEY ARE MAKING BOOKS FOR THE CHILDREN WHO CAN'T SEE. THIS IS A PART OF THE JELLYBEAN CLUB. GAIL TELLS ME IT'S THE ONLY BLIND PRESCHOOL ORGANISATION IN NZ. SHE INVENTED IT. I COULD SEE THERE WAS A NEED. CHILDREN CAN'T JUST GO INTO A BOOKSHOP AND BUY A BOOK OFF THE SHELF. THE VOLUNTEERS ANSWERED AN AD IN THE PAPER 21 YEARS AGO. THEY ARE STILL TOGETHER. THEY WILL DO ANYTHING I ASK OF THEM. SO GAIL CARSON'S VOLUNTEERS DO A WHOLE BUNCH OF BOOKS FOR ALL SORTS OF KIDS. THIS ONE HERE IS MY FAVOURITE. IT'S A SMELL BOOK. WHEN YOU ARE ABOUT 4 YEARS OLD, YOU GET THESE. IT'S A FLOWER. THINK IT'S ESSENTIAL OILS. IT'S ESSENTIAL OILS. EACH CHILD IN THE JELLYBEAN CLUB GETS A PERSONALISED PACK. THIS ONE'S FOR TEEGAN. AND AS THEY GET OLDER, THE PACKS GET BIGGER. IF THEY HAVE PASSED A JELLY BABY, THEY GET A JELLY MONSTER, SO A KIDDY WITH ATTITUDE, THEY GET A MOHAWK. THERE ARE QUILTS... BEAUTIFUL. ...AND COUNTING BOOKS AND CARDS FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS.

THE ONE SADNESS IS THE VOLUNTEERS VERY SELDOM SEE THEIR BOOKS IN ACTION. NO, WE DON'T SEE THAT. SO TONIGHT THIS TABLE OF GOODSORTS GETS TO SEE HOW A LITTLE CRAFTING CAN GO A LONG WAY, ALL THANKS TO GAIL CARSON. WE WOULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT GAIL. HADYN JONES, ONE NEWS.
