That is one news tonight. Blogger that are showing the real side of motherhood. This is constance hall, the real mum blogger. LEt us get the show started. TONIGHT, YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST. THAT LAND IS THE PRIME SPOT. COULD THIS BE THE SITE OF A NEW STADIUM IN AUCKLAND? PLUS, IT'S A FRESH START, BUT DOES BRENDON MCCULLUM KNOW WHAT HE'S GETTING INTO? BRENDAN: LOOK, I'M NOT 100% COMFORTABLE AT THE MOMENT. AND SHOWING THE 'REAL' SIDE OF MOTHERHOOD. IF YOU'RE JUST A BIT HONEST ABOUT IT, IT'S REALLY HEALING FOR PEOPLE. CONTROVERSIAL AUSSIE BLOGGER CONSTANCE HALL JOINS US LIVE. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF SEVEN SHARP, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. can you say it?? President Trump. It tastes funny. The Sun did come up this morning. It is a new day. There are protests. Protest across the US, we will be following those. They are continuing across America. MIKE'S THERE. WHAT CAN YOU TELL US? They are failing to close it down. ** starting. We will show you footage later. We came down when it was all on. This is the fifth Avenue. We are actually moving down the street under threat of some arrest as they look to close this down, I was such a shame of a day. They all came out and said the right thing ` reconciliation, but the protests is the not listen. I was at the occupy Wall Street protest. NOW, LET'S TAKE A BREAK FROM ALL THE TRUMP STUFF. YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD AUCKLAND'S NEW MAYOR TALKING ABOUT THE NEED FOR A WATERFRONT STADIUM. PHIL GOFF'S FAVOURING THAT IDEA OVER AN EXPENSIVE UPGRADE OF EDEN PARK AND THE PROPOSAL'S GOT SOME FANS. THIS IS THE LOCATION HE'S THINKING OF ` ALONGSIDE VECTOR ARENA, NEAR BRITOMART TRAIN STATION. BUT ONE ARCHITECT SAYS HE'S GOT A BETTER IDEA ` PUT IT HERE, ON THE SITE OF THE TANK FARM AT WYNYARD POINT. HE'S BEEN INVITED TO SHOW THE MAYOR HIS PLANS NEXT WEEK, BUT HE'S REVEALED THEM TO US FIRST. GREGOR HOHEISEL SPENDS A BIT OF TIME ON THE WATERFRONT. THE SO-CALLED 'SURFING ARCHITECT' LIVES ON AUCKLAND'S WILD WEST COAST, IN A HOUSE HE OF COURSE DESIGNED HIMSELF. AND WHEN HE HEARD PHIL GOFF SAY 'STADIUM', AND WHEN HE HEARD PHIL GOFF SAY 'STADIUM', HE PUT THE BOARD AWAY AND GOT BUSY. I HAVEN'T SHOWED IT TO MANY PEOPLE. YOU'RE ACTUALLY ONE OF THE FIRST. BUT WHILE THE MAYOR'S CONSIDERING RAILWAY LAND, HOHEISEL HAS ANOTHER IDEA. WHY NOT ON THE TANK FARM? BECAUSE THE WYNYARD POINT IS SO EXPOSED AND SO PERFECT FOR A STADIUM, THAT LAND IS THE PRIME SPOT. IT DESERVES, BASICALLY, THE LANDMARK OF AUCKLAND. AND THIS IS IT. STRETCHING OUT INTO THE HARBOUR, AND TAKING ITS DESIGN CUES FROM WOODEN SAILING SHIPS, IT FEATURES A CYCLEWAY, RUNNING TRACKS AND FLOATING SPORTS GROUNDS. IF YOU COULD BASICALLY BUILD A LARGE BARGE THE SIZE OF A RUGBY FIELD, YOU COULD HAVE A PRACTICE FIELD FLOATING OUT NEXT TO THE STADIUM AND THAT COULD BE THE TRAINING GROUND FOR THE ALL BLACKS. AND THEN AN OUTDOOR CINEMA IN SUMMER. HE'D ALSO LIKE TO SEE A BIT OF KAREKARE BROUGHT TO THE CBD. FUNNILY ENOUGH, ON THE WYNYARD POINT THERE IS AN EXISTING TRENCH THAT'S ALREADY THERE, THAT HAS APPROXIMATELY THE SIZE OF AN ARTIFICIAL WAVE. HE SAYS TURN THIS... ...INTO THIS. IMAGINE THAT YOU'RE RIDING A WAVE OF LIGHT THROUGH THE NIGHT. SO IF YOU HAVE THAT WAVE GOING WHILE 50,000 PEOPLE ARE STREAMING NEXT TO IT INTO THE STADIUM, WATCHING THESE SURFERS ` IT'S TREMENDOUSLY FUN. AND THERE'LL BE MORE THAN A NOD TO THE AREA'S HISTORY. I LIKE EVEN THE ROUGHNESS AND RAWNESS OF THE INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES, AND WE COULD USE THESE TANKS TO DO SOMETHING ELSE. WE COULD JUST CUT THEM OPEN AND MAKE ICE CREAM SHOP OR SELL TICKETS. EVEN THOUGH AUCKLAND HAS MUCH BIGGER PROBLEMS CURRENTLY, THE HOUSING PROBLEMS, TRAFFIC CONGESTIONS AND SO ON, THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF FINANCIALLY FIRST, BUT IF YOU DON'T PUT FIRST STEPS NOW, LIKE THE MAYOR SAID, YOU HAVE PLAN NOW TO SECURE THE LAND TO HAVE THE CHANCE THAT YOU GET IT TO THE WATERFRONT ONE DAY. IT SOUNDS VERY EXPENSIVE. PHIL GOFF ALREADY SAID IT MIGHT BE A BILLION. I WOULD SAY STADIA THESE DAYS RUN SOMEWHERE AROUND $500M TO $1B. SO THAT'S THE RANGE, WE DON'T KNOW YET. HOHEISEL HOPES THE NEW MAYOR WILL GET ON BOARD. HOHEISEL HOPES THE NEW MAYOR WILL GET ON BOARD. IF YOU WANT TO BE PROUD OF YOUR STADIUM AND SHOW IT OFF, THE WYNYARD POINT IS THE WAY TO GO. What you think? I looks amazing. I do not know how the rest of New Zealand will feel about stumping up $1 billion. If we do end up getting one, he has good design credits. He has designed in Beijing and California. He also carried Caro across the water at Karekare to get to the interview spot as I had white sneakers on. RETURNING TO OUR DEVELOPING STORY, WE WANT TO TAKE YOU BACK TO SOME LVIE SHOTS OUT OF AMERICA F you look you, there are obviously some fire. They were burnig the US flag on fifth Avenue. What these protesters are saying is not my president that is the catch cry. These protests have been in all sorts of places ` new York, Chicago, Seattle, Washington. A huge number of people turning out. Looks like it is well and truly under control the police have made about a couple of dozen arrests. Hey were orderly protest, you would say, but if they are disorderly, they play right into the hands of Donald Trump voters and the new President-elect himself. We will be keeping an eye on that. REMEMBER, LAST MONTH, JEHAN CASINADER SAT DOWN WITH BRENDON MCCULLUM AHEAD OF HIS BOOK LAUNCH, LOOKING BACK AT HIS CAREER. I PLAYED THE GAME BECAUSE I WANTED TO TRY AND TEST MYSELF. I WANT ED TO BE A PART OF A TEAM. I WANTED TO REPRESENT MY COUNTRY, AND I WANTED TO HAVE A BLOODY GOOD TIME WHILE I WAS AT IT. WELL, TONIGHT WE'LL HEAR ABOUT HIS FUTURE. A NEW HOME TOWN, A NEW SPORT, BUT THE SAME WINNING ATTITUDE. HERE'S MIKE THORPE. BRENDON MCCULLUM MAY HAVE RETIRED, BUT HE'S FAR FROM OUT TO PASTURE. WHAT ARE YOUR COMMITMENTS OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS TO 24 MONTHS? YEAH, IT'S NOT GREAT. YOU SOUND LIKE MY WIFE. AFTER STEPPING BACK FROM THE BLACK CAPS, HE STEPPED INTO THE WORLD OF T20, BOOTS AND ALL. I'M OFF TO AUSTRALIA IN DECEMBER, JANUARY, FOR THE BIG BASH. I'M OFF TO DUBAI FOR THE PAKISTAN PREMIER LEAGUE. AND THEN AFTER THAT, OBVIOUSLY, YOU'VE GOT THE IPL. THERE IS ONE NOTABLE OMISSION. SO IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT YOU'VE, UH, PLAYED YOUR LAST INNINGS IN NZ? I'VE HAD A FEW OFFERS, ACTUALLY, DOWN AT THE PUB RECENTLY, TO COME AND PLAY, BUT I THINK THAT'S FAIR TO SAY THAT I'VE PROBABLY PLAYED MY LAST GAME IN NZ. AFTER GIVING UP THE BLACK CAP REINS, HE'S PICKED UP SOME OTHERS. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT RACE HORSES? (LAUGHS) WELL, PROBABLY NOT AS MUCH AS I NEED TO KNOW. WHAT YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW IS, HOWEVER FEARLESS HE IS WITH BAT IN HAND,... OH, THAT'S GOING TO BE 6` IT IS 6! ...HE'S A LOT MORE CAUTIOUS HERE. HOW DO YOU GO WITH THEM? LOOK, I'M NOT 100% COMFORTABLE AT THE MOMENT. THUMP! I THINK THEY'RE IMPOSING ANIMALS, AREN'T THEY? SO I'M IN AWE OF THEM, TO BE HONEST. YOU OWN ALL OF THESE? NO! (LAUGHS) I WISH. JESUS. NOPE, GOING TO HAVE TO HIT A FEW MORE OVER THE ROPES TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD THESE THINGS, THAT'S FOR SURE. ONE HORSE THAT IS IN HIS STABLE IS KING KANE. NAMED AFTER THE GREAT KING KANE WILLIAMSON, WHICH HE HATES, THAT NAME. BIG HORSE TOO, EH? DOWN AT HIS MATAMATA LOCAL, WE GET A TASTE OF HIS NEW SPORT. I'M A BIT NERVOUS BEFORE A RACE. ARE YOU? YEAH. I NEVER REALLY GOT NERVOUS WHEN I PLAYED CRICKET, BUT RACING? OH! YOU'VE GOT NO CONTROL OVER THIS NOW. CORRECT. GATES OPEN, NOW THEY'RE OFF TO ANOTHER VERY GOOD START. IT'S NOT QUITE WHERE WE WERE WANTING TO LAND. KING KANE IS LAST. RAN ON AGAIN, EH? KING KANE RUNNING ON. TOO FAR BACK. BIT GREEN, TOO. OH, WELL. THERE'S ALWAYS ANOTHER RACE. (LAUGHS) DESPITE A BIG FINISH, KING KANE FALLS SHORT. YOU'RE ALWAYS A LITTLE BIT DISAPPOINTED, BUT YOU STILL LOOK AT IT LIKE IT'S` I MEAN, YOU'RE OPTIMISTIC WHEN YOU GO INTO EVERY RACE, AREN'T YOU? THE DEBRIEF FROM THE TRAINER, IN TRUE MCCULLUM FASHION, IS UPBEAT. TRAINER: I'M REALLY HAPPY WITH HIM. I KNOW HE'S ONLY GOT AN 8 BESIDE HIS NAME, BUT, UH, HE'LL BE GOING VERY CLOSE NEXT TIME. BLOODY GOOD. IT'S NOT A ONE, TWO, THREE YEAR PROJECT. IT'S A 30 YEAR, 40 YEAR PROJECT WHICH YOU'RE EMBARKING ON. AND THAT TYPICAL OF BRENDON MCCULLUM. WHEN HE'S IN, HE'S ALL IN. NO HE'S GOING IN TO BAT FOR THE MAIA FOUNDATION. WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE IS TO RAISE $5.2M TO BUILD A NEW HELIPAD AND SOME BETTER FACILITIES FOR THE CHILDREN'S SECTION OF THE HOSPITAL, WHICH IS HUGE, AND IT'S GOING TO CHANGE LIVES, WHAT WE'RE ABLE TO DO. SEE, THE MAIA FOUNDATION IS A CHRISTCHURCH BASED HEALTH CHARITY. IT HOPES TO BE, JUST LIKE BRENDON, A GAME-CHANGER. I LIKE TO BE SURROUNDED BY GOOD PEOPLE AND LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE, AND THAT'S CERTAINLY WHAT MAIA'S GOT. HE HOPES THE LOFTY HEIGHTS REACHED ON THE CRICKET PITCH WILL BE OVERSHADOWED BY HIS DEEDS OFF IT. IT DOESN'T SAY ON YOUR GRAVESTONE 'CRICKETER'. HOPEFULLY IT SAYS 'LOVING FATHER AND HUSBAND AND A FRIEND TO MANY.' That horse that Mike was backing one. The next Saturday. Sure it did. NOW IF YOU'RE FEELING A BIT DOWN ABOUT YOUR LIFE, YOU NEED TO HAVE A CHAT TO CONSTANCE HALL. THEY JUST COME TO ME AND GO, 'OH, MY LIFE'S NOT THAT BAD, COS CON'S IS WORSE.' THE CONTROVERSIAL AUSSIE BLOGGER'S MADE A CAREER OUT OF SHOWING A MORE REAL SIDE OF MOTHERHOOD. SHE'S LIVE BEFORE THE END OF THE SHOW. I, back to fifth Avenue the proteas then after what happened this time last night. We were down here earlier on. 1 TENSE MUSIC (SIGHS) BEEPING, INDISTINCT SPEECH LOUD CLANGING CLATTERING CAR ALARM CHIRPS TENSE MUSIC MIKE'S IN THE THICK OF THE PROTESTS AND JOINS ME NOW LIVE. What is the latest? Police have arrived. They have been told to disburse on the loudspeaker or they will be arrested. We will have a look at the pictures I came up with earlier on. There were thousands of people earlier on this evening. Philadelphia, Chicago, Western California ` a number of protests around the country. It is such a shame. They all asked for the same thing today, A bit of reconciliation to give this guy a chance to be president. Clinton just down the road at the Peninsula Hotel said earlier on, just to be calm and Americans and try to get on with this because democracy is a wonderful thing. Everybody had a chance and if they and their vote and everybody had the opportunity toparticipate in it is called democracy. It has been a shame in many respects. Not to say they are not passionate, but this is the way it worked out. You were in London after the Brexit vote. There were not any protest there, where there? There is a difference. When you look at the individually state-by-state in America, what made the Trump factory so remarkable anti-talk to a different person in Michigan hen it would have been talking to in Florida at all Georgia. What drove those people as the same thing ` a lack of power. I was making a summary said the events of what is going on here is power. They don't feel as though they have any. They see a country that is broken in an economy in trouble. They have a Congress and a Senate that does not work. This bloke came down to the top of the tower and said he would make America great again. We all said that he was a joke and a cliche. But they got it in the heart of America and wanted a piece of it. Ultimately, they voted for it. That was exactly the same in London and right around Britain, apart from Scotland. They wanted to break free from Europe. They didn't think they owned their own country wanted to do something about it. It seems obvious now why in retrospect that so few people see this coming? It is a funny thing, I think, to be perfectly honest the media played a part in all of us. The many here is biased. They did not want to think I could possibly happen. Here are the seasoned politicians on the GOP side of the race. A race of 17 people all very experienced and bright. Some of the governors are very successful people. What is this guy from New York suddenly wanting to be president for? Hey could not get around that. He was not appealing to the media. He was appealing to everyday Americans. We had an extraordinary combination of people thinking they liked this person and another group of people thinking that it was a joke and could not happen. How many times that they busy themselves writing of? Now it is reality they are sitting back and going what happened? Mike Hosking on fifth Avenue as they are sweeping out the protesters. BUT, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE FOCUS HASN'T JUST BEEN ON DONALD TRUMP. HIS YOUNGEST SON, BARRON, DIDN'T APPEAR TOO EXCITED ABOUT HIS DAD'S VICTORY. THE 10-YEAR-OLD LOOKED HOW MOST PEOPLE PROBABLY FELT WHILE HIS DAD WAS SPEAKING. HIS SLEEPINESS WAS UNDERSTANDABLE, THOUGH, GIVEN IT WAS ABOUT 3AM. AMERICANS ARE ALREADY LOOKING AHEAD TO THE NEXT ELECTION, WITH GROWING CALLS ON SOCIAL MEDIA FOR MICHELLE OBAMA TO RUN IN 2020. THE T-SHIRT IS ALREADY FOR SALE. CELEBRITIES HAVE BEEN QUICK TO VOICE THEIR OUTRAGE AT TRUMP'S WIN. ALICIA KEYS TOOK TO MUSIC, ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO CHOOSE A WORLD OF LOVE. # MAYBE WE SHOULD LOVE SOMEBODY. # MAYBE WE COULD CARE A LITTLE MORE. # Wow, she is awesome. Lady Gaga was down aT New York. She probably showed up late because she was three hours late. When I interviewed her. She was wearing a T-shirt saying that she loves trumps height. SHE'S WORSHIPPED BY MILLIONS OF MUMS, BUT CONSTANCE HALL ISN'T SO SURE SHE SHOULD BE. I ACTUALLY AM THE WORST PERSON TO GO TO FOR PARENTING ADVICE. THE CONTROVERSIAL AUSSIE BLOGGER JOINS US LIVE IN STUDIO RIGHT AFTER THE BREAK. LET'S QUIKCLY GO BACK TO MIKE IN NEW YORK, AND MIKE, DO YOU EXPECT MORE PROTESTS TOMORROW? I would like to thank not to be perfectly honest. New York has that feel about that you have your big day and get on with life. An 8 � hours time he will come down from the tower. He is off to Washington to meet the president. Imagine the mood of that room. I cannot wait. I would love to be a fly on the wall. LET'S BE HONEST MOTHERHOOD CAN BE TOUGH, AND WHEN YOU'RE SITTING AT HOME STRUGGLING IT CAN BE A REAL SLAP IN THE FACE WHEN CELEBRITIES PORTRAY IT TO BE 'SO EASY'. SO AUSSIE BLOGGER CONSTANCE HALL HAS MADE IT HER MISSION TO SHOW A MORE REAL SIDE OF PARENTING, SOMETIMES IN QUITE A PROVOCATIVE WAY. IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF HER, WATCH THIS. SHE'S THE BRUTALLY HONEST MUM BLOGGER THAT TELLS IT HOW IT IS. CONSTANCE FIRST TURNED UP ON BIG BROTHER AUSTRALIA. YOU'RE OUT OF THE HOUSE NOW. YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT! I KNOW! I CAN SMOKE AND, OH, GOD I'M GONNA GO NUTS. FOUR KIDS LATER AND A CHEEKY POST ABOUT PARENT SEX HAS GOT HER TO INTERNET STARDOM. TO BE HONEST ABOUT IT, IT'S REALLY HEALING FOR PEOPLE. FAR FROM THE WORLD OF STOCK-PHOTO PARENTING. I ACTUALLY AM THE WORST PERSON TO GO TO FOR PARENTING ADVICE. THE VIRAL SENSATION (32) IS KNOWN FOR CUTTING THE CRAP AND SHOWING THE UNGLAMOROUS TROTH BEHIND MUMHOOD. I ACTUALLY THINK I LOOK REALLY HOT THERE. NOW SHE'S PUT HER NAME TO PRINT... (SCREAMS) IT'S ME! ...AND EMPOWERING 'QUEENS' EVERYWHERE. THEY JUST COME TO ME AND GO, 'OH, MY LIFE'S NOT THAT BAD, 'COS CON'S IS WORSE.' MOTHER, AUTHOR AND QUEEN OF EVERYDAY QUEEN REVOLUTION, CONSTANCE HALL. NO DOUBT'S 'JUST A GIRL' CONSTANCE HALL JOINS US NOW. Welcome to New Zealand. What is it like being here? It is amazing. We were not expecting the support we have got since coming here. And has been phenomenal. New are on a speaking tour that sold out in 3 min. Everyone got very angry and would not let up. They said Constance, we're not going anywhere. We made it work to get more and we release another lot of shows. People werre there until 2 AM last night. Why do you strike such a chord with mothers? Tthat is a very hard question for me. I write about my life and myself. I write about the experience I have had. I have done so much with all the different code in different ways. I have had them And a volatile marriagewhich has been both perfect and horrendous. I write about my life and everyone responds to it. I have learned the truth is very healing. People feel like` originally I thought I was scaring people of parenthood. But I have done the opposite. People have said theycan do it because they do not feel pressured to do it perfectly Ome of the photos we have been showing are so lovely. There are other ones in a slightly provocative. When you upload something to you suddenly think, oh no or second-guess that? I close my eyes and look away. If you don't think about it too much, and is all right. Originally, people used to say I was braver doing what I was doing. I never understood that because I was just being open. I don't have to be brave. The more popular. I got the more I realise they don't need to be brave ecause as much love. I was getting, I was getting hate. Now I have to se that string I'm getting from one and on the journey with me. I met them face-to-face. And I'm getting so much strength. It is just the big girls night out. Can I ask you about too much bravery? Are you worried about your children disagree with how you have been posting? He thing about that is` how much is too much? There is definitely a line with your children. Respect their privacy. When it comes to the things I share, I'm not. I do stand up what I believe in because I would embarrass them. I don't think that is ever going to happen. If it did, they can complain to dad because mammal not be listening. What do you think of Trump? I can't believe it happened because I'm not good with politics. I go to the people who know the staff and they said it would not happen. And then it happens. Thank you so much for coming n. Thank you for having me. We'll see you tomorrow. 1 NEWS CAPTIONS BY SHRUTIKA GUNANAYAGAM AND ASHLEE SCHOLEFIELD SEVEN SHARP CAPTIONS BY ALANA DRAYTON AND TOM PEDLAR CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR.
