AND A RALLY LEGEND LETS US IN TO HIS AUTOMOTIVE MECCA. JUST A QUICK RUN UP A DRIVEWAY, HE SAID. BUT, OH, WHAT A DRIVEWAY. PLUS ` OLD GUCCI SHOES GETS A CHRISTMAS MAKEOVER. I ASSUME THEY'RE LOOKING AT A RUDE ARSE JERSEY THAT I'M NEVER GONNA WEAR. HE JUST DIDN'T KNOW WE WERE FILMING THE WHOLE TIME. WHAT IS THIS FOR? DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF SEVEN SHARP, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. What would you read it as a prank? Do you think you got me? I can't explain it now. My aim in life is to make you look silly and I think that that. FIRST TONIGHT, A STORY THAT ISN'T GOING AWAY. BACK IN MAY WE HIGHLIGHTED THE DESPERATE MEASURES MANY YOUNG KIWI WOMEN RESORT TO BECAUSE THE RISING COST OF LIVING MEANT THEY COULDN'T AFFORD SOME PRETTY ESSENTIAL ITEMS. WE ARE OF COURSE TALKING ABOUT SANITARY PRODUCTS. THE PROBLEM'S SO BAD FOR SOME, THEY EVEN HAVE TO SKIP SCHOOL DURING "THAT TIME OF THE MONTH". SO KRISTIN HALL WENT TO FIND OUT HOW BIG THIS ISSUE IS GETTING, AND WHAT SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. MOST OF THE TIME, TAYLOR (15) LIKES GOING TO SCHOOL. ONE DAY SHE WANTS TO BE IN THE ARMY. WE WANT TO GET AN EDUCATION, GET A JOB AND MAKE OUR PARENTS PROUD. BUT WHEN MONEY IS TIGHT, ATTENDING SCHOOL AT 'THAT TIME OF THE MONTH' CAN BE A PROBLEM. I DIDN'T HAVE THE THINGS I NEEDED. AND MUM DIDN'T GET PAID TILL THE NEXT DAY, SO MUM KEPT ME HOME. TAYLOR IS ONE OF WHAT SEEMS TO BE A GROWING NUMBER OF YOUNG KIWIS WHO STRUGGLE TO AFFORD BASIC SANITARY ITEMS. OVER THE LAST 3-4 MONTHS, I KNOW AT LEAST OF 10 FAMILIES WHO HAVE KEPT KIDS HOME. IN MY OPINION, THAT'S 10 TOO MANY. WHO HAVE KEPT KIDS HOME. IN MY OPINION, THAT'S 10 TOO MANY. THERE'S NO TELLING THE FULL SCALE OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE, DARRYL SAYS, IT'S NOT TALKED ABOUT. IT'S TABOO. IT ESPECIALLY SEEMS TO BE TABOO AMONGST PACIFIC AND MAORI CULTURES AND SOME OF THE ASIAN CULTURES. WE COME FROM A PACIFIC ISLAND FAMILY. THERE'S A LOT OF US AND WE CAN'T AFFORD ALL THINGS. DO YOU THINK THEY'RE EXPENSIVE? YES, SO EXPENSIVE. I THINK THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THERE'S FAMILIES OUT THERE WHO CAN'T AFFORD THOSE SORTS OF THINGS. YEAH, AND SOME GIRLS ` NOT SAYING ALL ` GET THEIRS AT A YOUNG AGE. OUR FAMILIES OFTEN HAVE LESS THAN $10 A DAY TO LIVE ON. SANITARY PADS OR A MEAL ` IT'S INEVITABLE WHAT PEOPLE ARE GONNA CHOOSE. MANY SCHOOLS WILL SUPPLY PADS AND TAMPONS IN AN EMERGENCY, BUT TAYLOR SAYS WHEN SHE'S NEEDED THEM AT SCHOOL, SHE'S HAD TO SIGN HER NAME ON A LIST AT THE FRONT OFFICE INSTEAD OF DOING IT CONFIDENTIALLY THROUGH THE SCHOOL NURSE. I WENT UP TO THE DESK AND THEY ASKED ME WHAT I WANTED, BUT I WAS SO NERVOUS, I DIDN'T WANNA SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE THE BOYS WERE SITTING THERE. IT WAS SO EMBARRASSING. SHE SAYS GETTING FREE CONDOMS IS MUCH EASIER. AT THE SCHOOL NURSE YOU CAN GO AND GET SIX CONDOMS AND IT STAYS BETWEEN YOU AND THE NURSE. COUNTRIES LIKE THE US, CANADA AND THE UK ARE DOING SOMETHING. THEY'VE EITHER ALREADY GOT RID OF THE TAX ON SANITARY PRODUCTS OR ARE IN THE PROCESS. BUT OUR MINISTERS WEREN'T KEEN ON THAT. ONE OF THE STRENGTHS OF OUR GST SYSTEM IS THAT IT IS SO COMPREHENSIVE, THEREFORE THERE'S NO EXCEPTIONS. SO THE TAMPON TAX ISN'T A PRIORITY FOR YOU? IT'S NOT. SO IF MINISTERS WON'T LIFT GST, WHAT ABOUT PHARMAC? IT FUNDS CONDOMS, BUT WOULD IT SUBSIDISE SANITARY PRODUCTS? WE ASKED. PHARMAC SAYS IT WOULD CONSIDER FUNDING SANITARY PRODUCTS IF THERE WAS AN APPLICATION. ENTER HEALTH MINISTER JONATHAN COLEMAN, WHO FOBBED US OFF AS WELL. DO YOU THINKING SANITARY PRODUCTS SHOULD BE FUNDED OR SUBSIDISED THROUGH EITHER PHARMAC OR THE NATIONAL HEALTH BUDGET? WELL, THEY'RE NOT CURRENTLY, SO WE'LL HAVE TO SEE WHAT THE DEMAND FOR THAT IS. THE DEMAND FOR THEM SEEMS TO BE QUITE HIGH, SO WHAT'S YOUR OPINION ON IT? IF YOU WANNA GET IN TOUCH WITH MY PRESS SEC, WE CAN GO THROUGH THE DETAILS MORE. OUR POLITICIANS ARE EARNING TOP DOLLAR. THEIR OWN KIDS ARE GOING TO SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THESE PRODUCTS. LET'S STAND UP AND BE BRAVE AND ACTUALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE. IF THE GOVERNMENT ACTUALLY PAID ATTENTION AND PUT THE PRICES DOWN, IT WOULD MAKE IT SO MUCH EASIER ON FAMILIES. She did go to the press secretary and they gave her the same answer that it was not a priority. The process is comprehensive. You can go on to our Facebook page if you feel passionate to talk about it. MICHAEL HOLLAND SPENT THE DAY LOOKING BACK ON MOTOR HISTORY WITH RALLY LEGEND ROD MILLEN. YOU CAN JUST CRANK IT IN AND OUT. THAT'S CALLED AIR CONDITIONING. BUT SOME LESSONS ARE BEST LEARNT THROUGH EXPERIENCE. IMMENSE. INSANE. PLUS ` THE HOLIDAY SEASON HAS BEGUN IN AMERICA. I HEREBY PARDON YOU FROM THE THANKSGIVING TABLE. SO HOW HAVE HOLLYWOOD'S CELEBS CHOSEN TO CELEBRATE THE THANKSGIVING SEASON? ANYONE WHO WATCHES THE SHOW KNOWS I'M A BIT OF A SUCKER FOR PRANKS. IM NOT ENDORSING PILLS, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ASKING. OH MY GOODNESS! APRIL FOOLS! SO OUR PRODUCERS AND I WENT ALL OUT FOR CHRISTMAS TO FINALLY GET MIKE. < HOW WOULD YOU FEEL ABOUT SOME REINDEER EARS? BABE? FOR YOU. FOR ME? ARE YOU KIDDING? YEAH, I THINK I'LL PASS ON REINDEER EARS. YOU DON'T WANT REINDEER EARS? YEAH, HONESTLY. Don't try and guess the music. They are so hot right now. I like it. It is a catchy tune. THE ALL BLACKS WILL HOPEFULLY FINISH THEIR LAST TEST OF THE YEAR WITH A WIN AGAINST FRANCE ON SUNDAY MORNING. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO WINNING, MOTORSPORT IS HUGE FOR THIS OVER-ACHIEVING COUNTRY OF OURS. FROM BRUCE MCLAREN AND THE RECENTLY PASSED CHRIS AMON TO THE DIXONS, PADDONS, HARTLEYS, MURPHYS, THE LIST IS LONG. TONIGHT THERE'S A BIG "LEGENDS OF SPEED" DINNER IN AUCKLAND, AND IN ATTENDANCE WILL BE ONE OF RALLY'S GREATEST NAMES ` ROD MILLEN ` WHO DELIGHTS IN TURNING HIS RURAL DRIVEWAY INTO A RACETRACK ONCE A YEAR. HERE'S MICHAEL HOLLAND. IT'S THAT MOST CLASSIC SYMBOL OF STATELINESS. IT CAN'T GET ANY BETTER. THE LONG SWEEPING DRIVEWAY. (SIGHS WISTFULLY) THE PASTURE, THE PINES. ENGINE REVS CALL ME OLD-FASHIONED BUT THESE AREN'T BLACK RIBBONS OF HOONERY? YEAH, THEY ARE. THEY ARE. AND THAT'S OK? I LOVE TO SEE THAT HAPPEN. IT BRINGS A HUGE SMILE TO MY FACE. THE TYPE OF SMILE THAT COMES WITH OF BEING ABLE TO PLAY AND INDULGE AFTER AN ULTRA-SUCCESSFUL MOTORSPORT AND BUSINESS CAREER IN THE US. ROD MILLEN'S SPRAWLING COROMANDEL HAVEN IS HOME TO AN ARRAY OF AMERICAN BEASTS... THAT DICE ON THE GEARSTICK IS RIDICULOUS. IT'S JUST UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT. ...AND BEAUTIES. LOOK AT THIS LITTLE SIDE WINDOW. YOU CAN CRANK IT IN AND OUT. IT'S CALLED AIR CONDITIONING BACK IN THE 50S. AND THE ANNUAL LEADFOOT RALLY, WHERE COMPETITORS TREAT HIS BITUMEN WITH OUT-AND-OUT DISRESPECT. THEY ARE PUTTING AN ADDED LAYER OF RUBBER DOWN HERE. THEY ARE PUTTING AN ADDED LAYER OF RUBBER DOWN HERE. MAYBE THEY'RE PRESERVING THE DRIVEWAY. YOU GOTTA THINK POSITIVE. AN ADDED LAYER OF AUTHENTICITY? THERE YOU GO. IF YOU BROUGHT HOME one OF THESE FROM THE DEALER IN THE 50S, THE WHOLE NEIGHBOURHOOD WOULD WANT TO LOOK AND HAVE A RIDE. THIS IS NOT COMFORTABLE. IT REALLY ISN'T. IT'S QUITE POWERFUL SO YOU HAVE TO DRIVE IT WITH RESPECT. THIS IS FOR THE PROFESSIONAL. IT CERTAINLY MADE A STATEMENT. FROM A STATEMENT OF STYLE TO A STATEMENT OF SPEED. THE MICKEY THOMPSON TOYOTA OFF-ROAD TRUCK. I WON THREE CHAMPIONSHIPS IN THAT. THE PORSCHE CARREN, WE WON THE TRANS-SIBERIAN RALLY `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hat a driveway. That is my dream come true. What we call the event? The Leadfoot. The fourth and fifth of February next year. There is a massive rally that leaves Auckland on the weekend tomorrow and it is going down the length of the South Island. They brought in about 40 million worth of McLarens into the country. They going to drive down the length of the South Island over the next couple of weeks. Michael Holland will be on that rally. TODAY THE AMERICANS DO SOMETHING QUITE WONDERFUL. THEY GIVE THANKS. THEY ALSO EAT 50 MILLION TURKEYS, GET DRUNK AND WATCH AMERICAN FOOTBALL. BUT THE GIVING THANKS BIT IS TRULY GREAT. SOMETHING WE SHOULD PROBABLY DO MORE OFTEN. I'M SURE THERE'D BE A LOT OF AMERICANS WHO PROBABLY DON'T FEEL ALL THAT THANKFUL THIS YEAR WITH THE WHOLE DONALD TRUMP ELECTION. AND A LOT OF THOSE WILL BE YOUR HOLLYWOOD TYPES ` CLASSIC DEMOCRATS. BUT AS SHAVAUGHN RUAKERE FOUND OUT, IN TINSELTOWN, THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS IN FULL SWING. AH, THANKSGIVING. THE DAY MOST TURKEYS DREAD, EXCEPT FOR THESE ONES. I HEREBY PARDON YOU. WHEN A TRIP TO THE MALL LOOKS MORE LIKE THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE. OH MY GOD. AND WHEN EVEN A MONSTER LA TRAFFIC JAM SOMEHOW MANAGES TO LOOK, WELL, QUITE PRETTY. SO WHILE 50 MILLION AMERICANS BATTLED THE GRIDLOCK, THE STARS ARE SHARING THEIR HOLIDAY PLANS. CHRIS MARTIN REUNITED WITH THE FAM, WHILE GWYNETH WHIPPED UP A MACROBIOTIC STUFFING. MEANWHILE AT THE KARDASHIANS, THIS IS THE KIDS' TABLE. SERIOUSLY? AND, YEAH, CHRISSY TEIGEN. GIRL KNOWS WHAT'S UP. GET HUBBY, JOHN LEGEND, TO DO ALL THE WORK. JOHN IS ALWAYS IN CHARGE OF THE TURKEY AND MAKING ME DRINKS ALL DAY. BUT STARS ALSO GOT INTO THE GIVING PART OF THANKSGIVING. JANE FONDA'S SERVING TURKEY TO THESE OIL PIPELINE PROTESTORS AT STANDING ROCK. AND KHLOE KARDASHIAN AND HER MAN FED THE HOMELESS IN LA. IT WASN'T SO MUCH INFLATED EGOS AS INFLATED, WELL, BALLOONS AT THE MACY'S DAY PARADE. IT'S 9 DEGREES, PEOPLE. GO HOME. WATCH IT ON TV. BUT BACK TO THE TURKEY, COS IT'S ALL ABOUT THE TURKEY. NICE TRY, LADY GAGA. NOT BAD PRINCE HARRY'S NEW GIRLFRIEND, MEGHAN MARKLE. BUT CAST YOUR EYES ON THIS PUPPY FROM MY LOCAL ` A TURKEY CAKE! DINNER AND DESSERT IN ONE. HAPPY THANKSGIVING! That's messed up. The biggest turkey company in America this morning... As one of those things that you eat because you have to do? You naturally like it. CORRECTION: you don't actually like it. Bonnie rait is outstanding rock this weekend. CORRECTION: at standing rock what a delightful woman. She is coming to the country next year. Add her to the list of Rod Stewart and Dolly Partin. WELL, THEY GOT ME... FINALLY. I WAS SUCCESSFULLY MADE A FOOL OF BY THE PEOPLE I KNOW AND TRUST. SO, WE ARE TRYING TO DO A CHRISTMAS PRANK AGAINST MIKE. WE'VE SET UP THIS PHOTO SHOOT IN FULL CHRISTMAS ATTIRE. WILL HE PLAY BALL? I'M NOT WEARING THAT. WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE? AND CROWDED HOUSE RAISED THE ROOF AT THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE. # SOMETHING SO STRONG # COULD CARRY US AWAY # BUT IT'S WHAT THIS AUSSIE REPORTER SAID THAT'S GOT SOME CONCERNED. # SOMETHING SO STRONG # COULD CARRY US AWAY. # SOMETHING SO STRONG CROWDED HOUSE PERFORMING 'SOMETHING SO STRONG' AT THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE LAST NIGHT. 20 YEARS TO THE DAY SINCE THEY LAST PLAYED THERE. SO IMAGINE OUR CONCERN WHEN WE WATCHED THIS REPORT FROM THE CLOTH CAPS AT THE ABC. BUT TONIGHT THEY'RE BACK. WE SHOULDN'T BE TOO SURPRISED, THOUGH. THEY'RE NOT THE FIRST AUSTRALIAN BAND TO DO A FAREWELL TOUR. What's the matter with them? AN 'AUSTRALIAN BAND'. They were always going to do that. It was quite a throwaway line as well. OK, IT'S TONI'S TIME TO SHINE. SHE PRANKED ME ` FINALLY. TAKE IT AWAY. IF YOU'VE EVER WATCHED THIS SHOW BEFORE, YOU'LL KNOW I'M SUPER-TRUSTING AND A SUCKER FOR PRANKS. MIKE ISN'T SO EASILY FOOLED. WE KNEW THAT IF WE WERE TO GET HIM FOR CHRISTMAS, WE'D HAVE TO GO ALL OUT. PLANNING BEGAN THREE MONTHS AGO. WE GOT PEOPLE FROM PUBLICITY, WARDROBE, THE SEVEN SHARP TEAM, WOMAN'S DAY ` INCLUDING THEIR EDITOR SIDO ` A PHOTOGRAPHER AND MIKE'S LOVELY WIFE KATE ON BOARD. MIKE THOUGHT HE WAS GOING IN FOR A QUICK CLASSIC PHOTO SHOOT, BUT WHAT WE DID WAS CREATE THE CHEESIEST CHRISTMAS SCENE EVER. SO WOULD HE FIRE UP? THAT'S BRILLIANT. MIKE'S DONE THESE SHOOTS A MILLION TIMES BEFORE. ME? ARE YOU KIDDING? YEAH, I THINK I'LL PASS ON THE REINDEER EARS. THE TWO LOVELY WOMEN IN YOUR LIFE, MIKE. HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT TONI'S CHRISTMAS PRESENT THIS YEAR? TONI` I ALWAYS THINK ABOUT TONI'S` I MAKE TONI'S CHRISTMAS PRESENT. DON'T YOU THINK THAT YOU WOULD BRING SUCH CHEER TO THE NATION IF YOU WERE TO DO A GORGEOUS REINDEER EAR SHOT? THERE'S TWO BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS ANGELS BY YOUR SIDE. NO! BUT WHEN WE GOT ALL FESTIVE, WE THOUGHT HE'D RUN A MILE. WE HAVE GOT SOME PRETTY AMAZING IDEAS HERE FOR YOU. VICTORIA, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHOW HIM SOMETHING WE THOUGHT WAS VERY SPECIAL TODAY? I'M NOT WEARING THAT! WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE? WHAT` WHAT IS THIS FOR? I'M SITTING THERE IN A RUDOLPH JERSEY. IT'S A STUPID ONE. IT'S A PISSTAKE JERSEY. THERE'S NO LOUIS VUITTON VERSION? LOOK AT THIS. WE'RE GOING FOR THIS. SEE, YOU COULD DO THAT. AMAZING HOW CONVINCING COLIN CAN BE. HE'S NOT SMILING, SO IT'S IRONIC. WOMEN LAUGH IT ACTUALLY LOOKS QUITE GOOD. NO. ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO. IT LOOKS GREAT. OH MY GOSH, IT'S REALLY LOVELY. YOU GUYS LOOK CHEESY. MIKE'S GONNA LOOK... LIKE MIKE. OK. SHOULD WE DO ONE JUST WITH MIKE IN THE JUMPER? JUST THE ONE. LAUGHTER THAT'S GONNA BE HIS NEW PUBLICITY SHOT. PUT A STAR ON THE TOP OF THE TREE. ON ONE FOOT. OH YES. THAT'S IT. HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT A NOVELTY HAM? BY SOME MIRACLE, THE GRINCH WAS IN A GIVING MOOD. LAUGHTER I CAN'T TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY. YOU LOOK RIDICULOUS. LAUGHTER ARE WE DONE? COS I'M NOW HOT. HEY, HOSKIE? YEAH? YOU'RE ALLOWED TO WEAR NORMAL CLOTHES NOW. OH, GOOD. AND THE NATION'S GONNA SEE YOU IN FULL KIT AND CABOODLE. IS THAT NOT` DON'T LOOK AT ME! YOU'RE MAKING ME FEEL TERRIBLE. THIS IS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME. I WAS GETTING INTO THAT! WHEN YOU SAID I LOOKED GOOD IN THAT, DID YOU NOT MEAN IT? NO, I KIND OF DID MEAN IT. BUT BECAUSE YOU LOOKED GOOD IN THAT, YOU TOOK IT TOO FAR. THE HAM WAS NOT A GOOD LOOK. WHAT ABOUT THE HAM? I WAS GETTING INTO IT. MY GREAT PLEASURE. I'M ALWAYS HERE TO HELP. AM I OR AM I NOT` I'M A TEAM PLAYER. I'M A TEAM PLAYER. AM I NOT A TEAM PLAYER? What's so lovely about that? Had your wife not being there... You would have had a spaz at me and stormed out. The only reason I did that is because Katie is a guest editor of the magazine. Now I have the hurt and the upset that this was just a nasty prank. AS YOU WERE SO WORRIED THIS MAY NOT BE A REAL COVER SHOOT, WOMAN'S DAY MADE US SOME OPTIONS TO LOOK AT. This is my personal favourite. Kate actually wants to sell the magazine so she knows not to use that. I think this will be the real cover. Isn't she beautiful? But I prefer you as a reindeer. That will be on sale tomorrow or whatever the case may be. We put some of the photos on the Facebook page today and the number of people asked why we photoshopped him. There was not photoshopped. Just the natural good looks coming through. People just could not believe that you being the bigger grinch of all time would put a reindeer jersey on. But when I put that jersey on people could not distinguish me from Colin Firth. I wanted to take the jersey home and the plastic ham. People expected you to get angry but you are just a kid at heart. I am just a nice guy. I hope the reindeer shots make the cut in the magazine. You are inside. It's on sale on Sunday or Monday. You will have the ham. I will put it in the microwave and see what happens. Who would have thought that you would actually play ball. QUICK FEEL-GOOD UPDATE FOR YOU TO HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND WITH REGARDS TO WHAT SIR GRAHAM HENRY AND PROFESSOR RICHIE POULTON WERE HOPING TO ACHIEVE TODAY AT THEIR BIG PLUNKET FOUNDATION CHARITY LUNCHEON. YOU'LL REMEMBER LAST NIGHT RICHIE SPOKE ABOUT HOW HIS FINDINGS FROM THE DUNEDIN STUDY CAN BE PRACTICALLY USED TO HELP OUR VULNERABLE CHILDREN, AND HE'S WANTING PLUNKET TO BE THAT VEHICLE, GIVEN THE ACCESS THEY HAVE TO 90% OF BABIES IN THIS COUNTRY. TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN YOU NEED CASH, AND I CAN HAPPILY TELL YOU THAT FROM ONE LUNCHEON TODAY, THEY MANAGED TO RAISE $535,000. AN INCREDIBLE EFFORT THAT WE HOPE WILL MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE. ABOUT NOW A BUNCH OF FOOD MINISTERS, INCLUDING OUR ONE, MEETING IN BRISBANE ARE HAVING A VOTE ON PALM OIL. PALM OIL IS CONTROVERSIAL BECAUSE IT'S CHEAP AND EASY TO GROW AND BECAUSE OF THAT, THEY CUT DOWN FORESTS ALL OVER THE PLACE TO FIND THE ROOM. CURRENTLY FOOD DOESN'T HAVE TO HAVE PALM OIL LISTED ON IT. THE MINISTERS' VOTE MAY WELL CHANGE THAT. THE VOTE, TO BE FAIR, ONLY POTENTIALLY GIVES THE TICK FOR 'CONSULTATION', WHICH IS POLITICAL SPEAK FOR STALLING. SO YOU HAVE TO WONDER HOW COMMITTED WE REALLY ARE TO THIS AND INDEED HOW HONEST WE ARE. AND INDEED HOW HONEST WE ARE. A POLL IS BEING TOUTED ABOUT SAYING 92% OF US WANT IT LISTED. BUT MY SUSPICION IS THE POLL GOT THE RESULT IT DID BECAUSE WE TEND TO ANSWER POLLS THE WAY WE THINK WE SHOULD ANSWER THEM AS OPPOSED TO HONESTLY. FOOD HAS THE FAT CONTENT ON; DOESN'T STOP THE OBESITY RATE, DOES IT? DRINK'S GOT THE SUGAR LISTED; WE STILL SKULL THE STUFF. SO LET'S SEE WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS ON PALM OIL TO SEE IF IT'S TALK OR ACTION. 1 NEWS CAPTIONS BY ALANA DRAYTON AND MADISON BATTEN. SEVEN SHARP CAPTIONS BY DESNEY SHAW AND CATHERINE DE CHALAIN.
