Target (New Zealand TV series)  Target is a New Zealand consumer advice show. It is hosted by Carly Flynn and Brooke Howard-Smith. The show has run for 11 seasons and remains one of New Zealand's highest rated factual programs and has won one Qantas Media Award. The show has been off the air since 2013. This has been a major part of the show since the launch of Target in 1999. It is used to reveal Trades People and Shops misconduct and illegal behaviour including urinating in showers. In these trials often young actors under the age of 18 are sent into a store to purchase an item restricted to persons aged 18 or over, such as cigarettes, pornographic material and alcohol. The actor is given an expired EFTPOS card or less change than required to purchase the item, so they do not purchase the items in question. This is largely done to prevent Target from being sued by retailers in relation to a prosecution stemming the hidden camera trial, and in alcohol trials also prevents the actor being liable for prosecution (under the Sale of Liquor Act 1989, a person under 18 who purchases alcohol is liable for a fine up to $2000.) In 2009 Christchurch liquor trial, there was a record broken for the youngest ever actor used in the trial: 10 years old, and she was allowed to buy alcohol. Target have their own Hidden Camera house which is located in a different area of New Zealand each season. The house has Hidden Cameras throughout and is used to send various tradesmen there to carry out work, the tradesmen being left in the home alone while the occupant of the house goes out. Jobs can range from repairing appliances in the home, to building, electrical or plumbing work. The test is not only to see the standard of the work carried out but also the actions of the worker, whether he/she wanders into rooms of the house he/she has no reason to be in and whether the worker acts in a professional manner. In March 2011, The house that Target uses for filming in Tauranga was uncovered by an electrician who had been called to fit a power point in the bedroom. The electrician started the job but quickly suspected something was out of the ordinary when he noticed a diary lying open next to where he was working, bikinis on the bed, and photographs of women. He also found a hidden camera in a smoke alarm. He left the job immediately and phoned his lawyer who advised him not to continue. This event has not aired yet. In May 2012 a Hidden Camera trial was aired revealing a carpet cleaner performing an indecent act in the actor's home.
