Don't go anywhere because coming up on seven sharp, Tony bullies boy George. We had a great interview and then things went downhill. He is seven sharp. TONIGHT ` WHEN PEOPLE POWER PAYS OFF. MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK. MEET THE COMMUNITY CLEANING UP OUR ACT. AND IT'S GONNA BE IN A BETTER STATE FOR OUR GRANDCHILDREN. PLUS, WE MEET THE NEW RECRUIT MAKING A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE FOR CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH IN WHANGANUI. COME ON. TIME FOR WORK. HE'S GOT FOUR LEGS, IS A LITTLE FURRY, AND HIS NAME IS BENTLEY. AND WOULDN'T HER MUM BE PROUD? BUT WHY DIDN'T THE BLOKES GET PAID OUT FOR THEIR BOOZE-FUELLED BEHAVIOUR AS WELL? DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF SEVEN SHARP, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. I'm trying to think, I've been in this industry 35 years in January next year. No one's ever walked out on me. That actually surprises me. You've caused an international incident. It's entirely possible that one of the great names in music won't visit our shores. He is still coming. I've been working in this industry to just over 10 and I haven't had this happen to me either. BECAUSE, UNFORTUNATELY, HE WALKED OUT DURING OUR CHAT TODAY. YOU KNOW WHAT? WHY DON'T YOU MOVE ON TO SOMETHING THAT` THAT'S HELPFUL, DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? IN FACT, DO YOU KNOW WHAT? THANK YOU. I thought was completely fair. DESPITE OUR CLEAN GREEN REPUTATION IN NZ, TOO OFTEN WE HEAR ABOUT POLLUTION IN OUR WATERWAYS. ACCORDING TO THE ENVIRONMENT MINISTRY, MORE THAN 60% OF OUR RIVERS AREN'T SAFE TO SWIM IN, LET ALONE DRINK FROM OR EAT WHAT LIVES IN THEM. SO IT'S TIME TO RECOGNISE THOSE WORKING TO IMPROVE THE SITUATION, WHICH IS WHERE THE NZ RIVER AWARDS COME IN. THE WINNER'S BEING ANNOUNCED TONIGHT. NOW, THEY DIDN'T KNOW THIS WHEN WE WENT TO VISIT THEM, BUT THE GROUP YOU'RE ABOUT TO MEET HAS WON. KRISTIN HALL WENT TO CHECK OUT THEIR WORK IN WAITAO. AT JUST 12KM LONG, THE WAITAO ISN'T NZ'S BIGGEST RIVER, BUT IT MEANS A LOT TO THOSE WHO LIVE NEAR IT. IT'S PART OF OUR LINEAGE, OUR WHAKAPAPA. NOT ONLY THAT, IT'S OUR FOOD BASKET. EBBA TE TUA HAS LIVED IN THIS COMMUNITY HER WHOLE LIFE. WE HAD SWIMMING LESSONS IN THE WAITAO RIVER HOLE. HAD MAGICAL MEMORIES OF IT. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND CLEAN. YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SWIM IN IT ANY MORE. THE WATER AT KAIATE FALLS, WHERE THE RIVER STARTS, IS TOO POLLUTED. IF THE KIDS GO IN FOR A SWIM, IF THEY'VE GOT A SCRATCH, THEY'LL COME OUT WITH A SORE, ALL THAT SORT OF STUFF. SO WE THOUGHT, 'WELL, IF WE HELP, WE CAN MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT BETTER.' ROB MCGOWAN LIVES NEARBY AND KNOWS A BIT ABOUT PLANTS. THAT LITTLE FELLA THERE, THAT'S KAIKOMAKO THERE. THAT'S ONE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE, BUT WE'VE NEVER FOUND ONE. RIGHT. WELL. WELL, BECAUSE IT GOT CHOPPED DOWN. HE JOINED FORCES WITH SOME NEIGHBOURS. TOGETHER, THEY'VE PLANTED MORE THAN 20,000 NATIVE TREES ALONG THE BANKS OF THE RIVER. THEY MEET EVERY TWO WEEKS TO POT PLANTS... HAERE MAI KI TE KAPUTI! ...HAVE A CUPPA AND OCCASIONALLY, A COLD ONE. SO, A LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT GOES A LONG WAY? OH, HECK YEAH. AND, OF COURSE, MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK AS WELL. WHY ARE YOUR HANDS STILL CLEAN? ME? I'M BETTER AT TALKING THAN I AM AT PLANTING. (LAUGHS) THANKS TO THE POWER OF PERSUASION, MOST FARMERS ARE NO LONGER GRAZING THEIR STOCK NEAR THE RIVER. THIS PADDOCK IS NOW CHOCK FULL OF NATIVE PLANTS. IT'S AMAZING HOW MUCH EROSION ONE ANIMAL CAN CAUSE. AT TAHUWHAKATIKI MARAE, HINENUI HAS BEEN TESTING THE WATER FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS. SHE'S DOING IT FOR THE NEXT GENERATION. IT'S GONNA BE IN A BETTER STATE FOR MY GRANDCHILDREN, LIKE MY GRANDSON HERE, AND MY GRANDNEPHEW HERE. IT'S BEEN SLOW GOING, BUT OVER TIME PHOSPHORUS AND NITROGEN LEVELS IN THE WATER HAVE DROPPED, WATER QUALITY HAS IMPROVED, AND SOME SPECIES OF FISH HAVE RETURNED. FEEDING OUR PEOPLE AT THE MARAE, WE'RE NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT FEEDING 10 OR 20 PEOPLE, WE'RE TALKING IN THE HUNDREDS. IF YOU'VE GOT ENOUGH FISH TO FEED THAT AMOUNT PEOPLE, THEN THAT'S TELLING YOU SOMETHING. THESE GUYS DON'T MIND THE LONG HAUL. THE PROJECT HAS TURNED NEIGHBOURS INTO FRIENDS. PLANTING DAYS ARE NOW TWO HOURS PLANTING AND TWO HOURS CUP OF TEA, THAT SORT OF THING. YOU KNOW, THAT HEALS PEOPLE. IT MAKES PEOPLE WELL. HINENUI RECKONS IF MORE MAORI AND PAKEHA COULD WORK TOGETHER, CLEAN, GREEN NZ COULD BE A REALITY. WHAT DO WE HAVE IF WE CAN'T ENJOY OUR WATERWAYS? NOT A HECK OF A LOT. SWIMMING POOLS? NO, THANK YOU. FISH MARKETS? NO, THANK YOU! (LAUGHS) NO, THANK YOU! I agree. There is an element of... everyone's got to be able to swim eat from the water... it means we're going to look after them. It's a bit far down the track now, do you know what I'm saying question mark THIS WEEK, WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THE POLICE USING TRACKER TECHNOLOGY TO CATCH PEOPLE WHO NICK LAPTOPS AND PHONES. WE'RE STILL GETTING A HEAP OF FEEDBACK ON THIS, BUT ONE EMAIL OVERNIGHT REALLY CAUGHT OUR ATTENTION. IT WAS FROM A SERVING POLICE OFFICER WHO SAYS THIS ISN'T A LAW PROBLEM, BUT A POLICE PROBLEM. HERE'S TIM. THE USE OF TRACKING TECHNOLOGY TO LOCATE STOLEN DEVICES IS A STORY OF FRUSTRATION ` FRUSTRATION FROM PEOPLE LIKE MONIQUE MERTON, WHO'VE LOST THEIR STUFF, KNOW WHERE IT IS, BUT POLICE WON'T ACT. AND NOW FRUSTRATION FROM WITHIN THE POLICE. A SERVING OFFICER WHO DOESN'T WANT TO BE IDENTIFIED SAYS POLICE MANAGEMENT DON'T UNDERSTAND TRACKER TECHNOLOGY, AND THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THE LAW. GPS TECHNOLOGY IS A FANTASTIC CRIME-FIGHTING TOOL. WHEN WE DO RESPOND, WE KNOCK ON THE OFFENDER'S DOOR. THE STOLEN DEVICE IS NORMALLY COUGHED UP PRETTY QUICKLY. THE OFFICER SAYS THE LAW IS ON THE POLICE'S SIDE. THEY JUST WON'T APPLY THE LAW. HERE'S THE OFFICER'S APPEAL TO POLICE ` WHEN WE GET AN ALERT FROM A VICTIM, FOLLOW UP AT ONCE. GO AROUND, PICK UP THE STOLEN DEVICE, GIVE IT BACK. POLICE NEED TO CHANGE AND GET THE STOLEN STUFF BACK TO THE GOOD GUYS. I didn't think they were allowed to. I hope something is, this this week. We are trying to track down what happened to boy George, we are trying to find him. I knew you would make a joke out of this. SO HEKIA PARATA HAS STEPPED IN TODAY. SECLUSION ROOMS ARE GONE. SCHOOLS WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO LOCK KIDS AWAY TO 'MANAGE CHALLENGING BEHAVIOUR'. THE MOVE FOLLOWS A RECENT CASE OF AN AUTISTIC CHILD DETAINED IN A SMALL ROOM AT MIRAMAR CENTRAL SCHOOL. BUT THE USE OF SECLUSION ROOMS ISN'T NEW TO SEVEN SHARP. FOR THE LAST TWO AND A HALF YEARS, KRISTIN HALL'S BEEN LOOKING INTO VINNIE METUA'S CASE IN WHANGANUI. HE'S ALSO AUTISTIC AND WAS ALSO LOCKED AWAY. VINNIE WAS PUT INTO A STOREROOM BY HIS TEACHER AFTER MISBEHAVING. VINNIE'S FAMILY SAY IT TRAUMATISED HIM FOR MONTHS. ALL THOSE SCRATCH MARKS ARE HIM. SO, GREAT NEWS THAT THEY'RE GONE, BUT WHAT TOOK SO LONG? THIS MORNING, HEKIA PARATA SAID SHE FIRST HEARD OF SECLUSION ROOMS BEING USED IN JULY. BUT WE HAVE A COPY OF A LETTER FROM THREE YEARS AGO ` HEKIA PARATA SIGNING OFF THE INVESTIGATION INTO VINNIE'S CASE. KRISTIN CAUGHT UP WITH HER TODAY. IF YOU KNEW ABOUT THE INCIDENT IN 2013, WHY DIDN'T YOU DO MORE BACK THEN? UM, WELL, IT GOT INVESTIGATED. THAT'S THE POINT. I MEAN, IF WE` WE DON'T MAKE LEGISLATION ON THE BASIS OF A COMPLAINT. BUT WHY DIDN'T YOU LOOK INTO IT NATIONALLY? BECAUSE IT WAS A SINGLE COMPLAINT AT THE TIME. THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE HAS NOW COME TO THAT POINT WHERE WE MUST LEGISLATE FOR IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. She's had a hard day. WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT 'THE GIRL IN THE BLUE DRESS'. A DRUNKEN DAY OUT IMMORTALISED IN INTERNET HISTORY. BUT DID ANY OF THE BLOKES GET PUBLICALLY PAID OUT FOR THEIR BOOZY BEHAVIOUR? PLUS, IT'S A PROBLEM THAT WE'RE YET TO SOLVE. WE NEED TO THINK OUTSIDE THE SQUARE. BUT BENTLEY HERE MIGHT JUST BE THE ANSWER. BENTLEY KIND OF GIVES THEM THAT LITTLE BIT OF CONFIDENCE. ALSO COMING UP ON SEVEN SHARP ` I DO MY BEST TO ENGAGE WITH THE AUDIENCE, TO TALK TO THEM. BUT TALKING WAS SOMETHING HE WASN'T SO KEEN TO DO WITH US TODAY. DO YOU KNOW WHAT? THANK YOU. # THE BRAVEST THING I EVER DID WAS # RUN. # SOMETIMES, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, # I CAN FEEL YOU AGAIN. Back to her country roots. That song was written by Taylor Swift. It's called better man by little big town. Who was Taylor Swift talking about? Was it Tom Huddleston? She's going to have to break out of her repertoire. Favourite story of the week. Harry has been in Toronto for the last week. He was holed up at her apartment cooking. I'm all over that. Mark my words. Who will be here to update as next week? MENTAL HEALTH. IT'S THE BIG TALKING POINT IN NZ AT THE MOMENT, WITH DEBATE OVER HOW TO TACKLE IT. BUT IN WHANGANUI THEY MIGHT JUST BE ONTO SOMETHING, WITH A NEW WAY OF WORKING WITH VULNERABLE CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE. IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT TO YOUR NORMAL METHODS. IT HAS FOUR LEGS AND SOME SERIOUS FUR. REBECCA EDWARDS WENT TO MEET BENTLEY. COME ON. TIME FOR WORK. HE MAY ARRIVE TO WORK IN THE BOOT OF A CAR,... GOOD BOY. ...BUT THIS GUY IS MAKING QUITE THE IMPRESSION. HE JUST HAS THIS GREAT KNACK OF KNOWING WHO TO GO TO, WHO TO WORK WITH, WHO NEEDS HIM. WE JUST NOTICED THAT BENTLEY HAD SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL ABOUT HIM. YES, BENTLEY THE DOG IS THE LATEST ADDITION TO WHANGANUI'S CHILD AND ADOLESCENT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE. WE'RE GOING TO PUT YOU IN, DARLING. HE HAS HIS OWN CALENDAR,... HE DOES HAVE HIS OWN DIARY SO THE CLINICIANS WILL BOOK HIM IN. ...AND HIS VERY OWN ID. PART OF THE TEAM? HE IS ABSOLUTELY PART OF THE TEAM. AND WHENEVER HE'S WEARING HIS CANINE THERAPY SCARF, HE KNOWS IT'S BUSINESS TIME. OK. WITH ME. YOU SEE, AS ADORABLE AS BENTLEY IS, THERE'S A SERIOUS AND INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT SIDE TO HIS WORK. THE YOUNG PEOPLE THAT COME HERE USUALLY HAVE MODERATE TO SEVERE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. THEY USUALLY ARE THE TOP END. THEY'RE THE CHILDREN THAT NEED THE SUPPORT. WITH A CASELOAD THAT INCLUDES CHILDREN WHO'VE SUFFERED TRAUMA, ABUSE AND NEGLECT. THEY STROKE HIM. THEY FEEL HIS WEIGHT. HE TENDS TO KEEP THEM GROUNDED. HE KEEPS THEM IN THE ROOM. BENTLEY ALSO HELPS WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING. BECAUSE KIDS WHO MIGHT NOT TALK TO ADULTS, WILL TALK TO HIM. WE HAD A YOUNG PERSON, A VERY VULNERABLE CHILD, LOTS OF AGENCIES INVOLVED, COULD NOT GET THIS KID TO ENGAGE, COULD NOT GET THIS KID TO TALK, COULD NOT GET THIS KID TO CO-OPERATE, AND THE ENTIRE COGNITIVE TEST WAS CARRIED OUT THROUGH BENTLEY. EVEN THE PROCESS OF LEARNING HIS TRICKS AND COMMANDS... SIT! GOOD. ...IS HAVING POSITIVE RESULTS. BENTLEY KIND OF GIVES THEM THAT LITTLE BIT OF CONFIDENCE. THEY GET TO EXPERIENCE MASTERY AND SUCCESS, HAVING WALKED IN THE DOOR FOR FIVE MINUTES. THAT'S REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT, I THINK. HOW MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE DO YOU THINK BENTLEY MAKES? BENTLEY GETS KIDS IN HERE THAT WE COULDN'T GET IN. BENTLEY'S ONLY BEEN WORKING WITH CLIENTS FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS,... HE LOOKS FORWARD TO THIS. I THINK IT'S THE HIGHLIGHT OF HIS WEEK. ...BUT THEY'RE ALREADY SEEING HUGE POTENTIAL. I'M HOPING THAT AS HE GROWS AND HE MATURES, THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, TAKE THIS WHOLE THING TO THE NEXT LEVEL. WITH BENTLEY PROVING SOMETIMES THERE'S A SPECIAL MAGIC THAT COMES IN HAVING FOUR LEGS RATHER THAN TWO. FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENCE, SOMETIMES WE CAN'T DO WHAT WE CAN DO FOR ADULTS. WE NEED TO THINK OUTSIDE THE SQUARE. WE NEED TO ENGAGE. WE NEED TO MEET THE HALFWAY, AND WE NEED TO GIVE THEM A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE. I've always been a believer in the power of animals. He only works 3 � days a week so he doesn't get overworked. He's got it all sorted. SO ALL THE DRAMA OF THE MELBOURNE CUP'S OVER FOR ANOTHER YEAR, BUT FOR ONE YOUNG WOMAN, IT'S JUST BEGINNING. DID YOU SEE THIS? THE DAILY MAIL'S 'EXCLUSIVE' WITH A DRUNK GIRL IN A BLUE DRESS. HERE'S THE ISSUE NOW, SHE HASN'T JUST BECOME THE BUTT OF A JOKE, SHE'S ALSO REMOVED ALL HER SOCIAL MEDIA PROFILES AFTER COPPING HEAPS OF ONLINE ABUSE. AND WHAT ABOUT THESE GUYS? THEY'RE ACTING JUST AS DRUNKENLY, CARRYING ON JUST AS STUPIDLY, SO WHY IS SHE THE ONLY ONE BEING RIDICULED IN THE INTERNATIONAL MEDIA? IT'S COS THEY'RE BLOKES, ISN'T IT? That's not true. There was also a woman who interrupted a live broadcast. She wanders up with the pursewith three dollars. The photo was a gold photo. She was riding the rubbish Bin home. You are right though. It's quite unusual to see a female do that. But you see men do that all the time. Ou are in the hydrangeas last time. We've only just replace those planters to, by the way. SO IT'S NO SECRET ` BOY GEORGE HAS HAD A CHEQUERED PAST. MY MESSAGE TO PEOPLE IS 'MOVE ON', BECAUSE I HAVE. BUT WE'RE NOT SO SURE BOY GEORGE HAS MOVED ON AFTER HE WALKED OUT OF OUR INTERVIEW TODAY. YOU KNOW WHAT? WHY DON'T YOU MOVE ON TO SOMETHING THAT` THAT'S, YOU KNOW, HELPFUL? DRAMATIC MUSIC MIKE: IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS. WILL DONALD TRUMP BE MOVING INTO THE WHITE HOUSE? YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR VOTE TO DONALD TRUMP. WE'LL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, OK? OR WILL HILLARY CLINTON MAKE HISTORY BY BECOMING THE FIRST US FEMALE PRESIDENT? I ACCEPT YOUR NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! I'LL HAVE ALL THE ACTION... SO ARE YOU READY TO VOTE? ...FROM NEW YORK CITY NEXT WEEK ON SEVEN SHARP. News out of America today the African-American voters are down. Hillary needs everyone to come out. Are you picking this? 91% of the money s going on Trump for betting. The odds of him winning are the same as you tossing a coin and getting hits twice. *heads nd you leave tomorrow? I need to apologise to night for Tony losing control of herself. AS WE'VE MENTIONED, BOY GEORGE WAS ALL GEARED UP TO TALK TO US EXCLUSIVELY ABOUT WHETHER WE'D BE SEEING HIM HERE NEXT MONTH. REMEMBER, VISA ISSUES WITH IMMIGRATION BECAUSE OF HIS CRIMINAL PAST THREATENED HIS ENTRY INTO THE COUNTRY. TODAY BOY GEORGE CONFIRMED TO SEVEN SHARP HE WILL BE COMING TO NZ, BUT THEN OUR INTERVIEW QUICKLY SOURED. APPARENTLY, BOY GEORGE IS COMING HERE.= WE'D KNOWN FOR WEEKS A HUGE QUESTION MARK HAD HUNG OVER BOY GEORGE COMING TO OUR SHORES. HE MIGHT NOT MAKE IT BECAUSE HE'D HAVING IMMIGRATION ISSUES. YOU KNOW, LIKE CHRIS BROWN DID? FOR PRIOR CONVICTIONS. SO, WE HAD THIS BIG INTERVIEW LINED UP. I WAS VERY EXCITED. HE WAS IN CANADA. I DID THE INTERVIEW OVER THE PHONE AND HE HAD A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT FOR HIS KIWI FANS. I'M TOLD YESTERDAY THAT WE GOT OUR APPROVAL, AND SO I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. CULTURE CLUB FANS WOULD BE EXCITED TOO. # DO YOU REALLY WANT TO HURT ME? # I ALWAYS SAID, YOU KNOW, WHY ARE WE NOT GOING TO NZ? SO, FINALLY, WE ARE. THE TOURING SHOW SOUNDS FANTASTIC. # TIME, IT COULD'VE BEEN SO MUCH MORE. # THE SHOW IS A ROCK'N'ROLL SHOW. OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S NO SPECIAL EFFECTS. IT'S ESSENTIALLY ABOUT CELEBRATING THE MUSIC OF CULTURE CLUB. A HARK BACK TO THE 80S WITH ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC BANDS. # KARMA, KARMA, KARMA, KARMA, KARMA CHAMELEON. # MILLIONS OF ALBUMS SOLD, NUMBER ONE HITS, AND A FABULOUSLY FLAMBOYANT FRONTMAN WHOSE SEXUALITY PUSHED BOUNDARIES. BUT THERE'S MUCH MORE TO BOY GEORGE'S PAST. DRUG ADDICTION AND CONVICTIONS, THESE ARE ISSUES THAT JOURNALISTICALLY SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. AND, AT FIRST, HE SEEMED HAPPY TO ANSWER. IF TALKING ABOUT MY STORY INSPIRES SOMEONE TO GET CLEAN AND CHANGE THEIR LIVES, THEN THAT'S A WONDERFUL THING AND SOMETHING I'M VERY KEEN TO DO. THE MOST SERIOUS OF BOY GEORGE'S CRIMES WAS IN 2008, AN ASSAULT ON A MALE ESCORT. HE HANDCUFFED HIM AND BEAT HIM WITH A CHAIN. HE WAS SENTENCED TO 15 MONTHS IN JAIL, AN INCIDENT HE'S PUT BEHIND HIM. I'M COMING UP TO 9 YEARS SOBER. I'M VERY LUCKY THAT AFTER ADDICTION, I HAVE MY LIFE TO COME BACK TO. YOU KNOW, MUSIC, TOURING, RECORDING ` DOING THE VOICE WAS AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY. BUT IT WAS WHEN GEORGE WAS NAMED AS A MENTOR ON 'THE VOICE' IN THE UK EARLIER THIS YEAR, THAT WAS WHEN HIS CRIME HIT THE HEADLINES AGAIN, THE VICTIM SLAMMING THE BBC FOR HIRING HIM AFTER NEVER RECEIVING AN APOLOGY. SO WE DECIDED WE NEEDED TO ASK GEORGE ABOUT IT. AS FAR AS WE WERE CONCERNED, HE'D NEVER TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE AND IT WAS PART OF THE REASON WHY HE WAS STRUGGLING TO GET HIS VISA TO PLAY HERE IN NZ. AND SO I ASKED THE QUESTION AND IT WASN'T WELL RECEIVED. YOU KNOW WHAT, WHY DON'T YOU MOVE ONTO SOMETHING THAT'S, YOU KNOW, HELPFUL, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANS? IN FACT, YOU KNOW WHAT? THANK YOU. I was genuinely shocked when that happened, because we had such a good interview up to that point, and it was nothing that told me he was remotely uncomfortable about it. We thought because we were talking about immigration issues hat it was appropriate. I think we will move on. Meet at the airport and give him a gift basket. Somehow I think he is done with me. Here is his tweet. I guess he's being a little upbeat there. I think he will be okay. TO ANOTHER SINGER, WITH A MORE INNOCENT PAST. HE WAS PART OF ONE OF THE BIGGEST 90'S BOY BANDS. # IT'S ONLY WORDS, # AND WORDS ARE ALL I HAVE. # YES, RONAN KEATING, ALONG WITH HIS BOYZONE MATES, HAVE INSPIRED SOME OF SEVEN SHARP'S BUDDING MUSICIANS,... # HEY, BABY, # REALLY DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN. # ...AND TOMORROW NIGHT THEY PERFORM IN FRONT OF RONAN. That's a genuine reason to walk out. If Ronan said that people were singing out of key in front of them, he would be gone. LET'S BE HONEST, THE GIRL IN THE BLUE DRESS FROM THE MELBOURNE CUP HAD A SHOCKER. RIDING A WHEELIE BIN IN A DRESS IS NEVER GOING TO END WELL IN ANY SITUATION, IS IT? AND IT'S NOT RIGHT, BUT THE REALITY IS IF YOU DO THAT WHEN YOU'RE A WOMAN, SOCIETY DOES JUDGE YOU FAR MORE HARSHLY THAN IF YOU'RE A MAN. ONE THING I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT HER THOUGH ` SHE MIGHT NOT HAVE CONDUCTED HERSELF WELL AT THE RACES, BUT TODAY SHE'S DONE EVERYTHING RIGHT. SHE SAYS SHE'S SUPER EMBARRASSED ABOUT HER BEHAVIOUR, THAT SHE'S WORRIED ABOUT HER FAMILY SEEING THE PHOTOS AND IS TRYING TO KEEP HER NAME OUT OF THE MEDIA. CAN'T IMAGINE IT WOULD BE EASY BEING IN HER POSITION RIGHT NOW, PARTICULARLY WITH ALL THE TROLLING ON SOCIAL MEDIA, AND I CAN'T HELP BUT HAVE A BIT OF SYMPATHY FOR HER. WHAT'S WARREN GATLAND'S PROBLEM? FIRST, THIS WEEK HE THINKS WE ARE ARROGANT AND HE'S EMBARRASSED TO BE A KIWI. THIS IS BECAUSE WE GAVE THE AUSTRALIANS A HARD TIME AND MADE MICHAEL CHEIKA A CLOWN. AND TODAY HE'S SUGGESTING ANYONE COULD COACH THE ALL BLACKS AND WIN. I KNOW IN SPORT, THEY DIP INTO THAT BOLLOCKS ABOUT TRYING TO RARK EACH OTHER UP, HAVE A BIT OF 'NIGGLE' BEFORE THE GAME, TRY TO 'GET UNDER EACH OTHER'S SKIN', BUT I LIKE TO THINK AT A CERTAIN LEVEL WE'RE ABOVE THAT. THAT SORT OF NONSENSE IS FOR THE PRETENDERS, FOR THE TRY-HARDS, FOR THE WANNABES, FOR THE ATTENTION-SEEKERS. AND THE LIKES OF YOUR HEAVYWEIGHTS, YOUR GATLANDS, YOUR HANSENS, THEY'RE BEYOND ALL OF THAT. THEIR RECORDS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. THEY'VE BUILT THEIR CREDIBILITY, THEIR RESPECT. THEY'VE GOT NOTHING TO PROVE. I'VE ALWAYS HELD GATLAND IN THE HIGHEST REGARD, AND I WOULDN'T HAVE BACKED HIM TO PEDAL IN THIS LEVEL OF INSECURITY, WHICH IS REALLY ALL IT IS. We will see you from New York City on Monday. 1 NEWS CAPTIONS BY SHRUTIKA GUNANAYAGAM AND GLENNA CASALME.
