Paul Henry to stand for ACT in this year's election

Oh great, another reality TV star trying to get into parliament. What a joke.

Noah Bennett2026-07-14T00:01:04.000Z

a female journalist 'a stupid woman' and got sacked from TVNZ. Great candidate.

Noah Bennett2026-07-14T00:16:04.000Z

Paul Henry? The guy who said 'call me a c***' on live radio? Yeah nah, that's exactly the calibre ACT needs.

James O’Brien2026-07-14T00:23:04.000Z

stuffed. He's a washed-up broadcaster looking for relevance.

Mia Carter2026-07-14T00:23:04.000Z

tbh I'd rather have a bloke who speaks his mind than those plastic politicians with rehearsed lines. Paul's at least real.

Rowan Blake2026-07-14T00:50:04.000Z

oh please, 'real' is code for 'offensive and unhinged'

Sophie Ngata2026-07-14T00:56:04.000Z

ppl make mistakes. He's still a good operator. Better than some clueless MP.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-14T00:49:04.000Z

I don't agree with everything he's said but he's a smart guy. ACT could do worse. Good luck to him 🏁

Paul Henry? The guy who can't even get through an interview without causing a scandal? Parliament is gonna be a circus.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-14T01:24:04.000Z

FFS another media personality thinking they can run the country. Just what we need, more grandstanding.

River Cole2026-07-14T01:31:04.000Z

lol 'shakes things up' like a toddler having a tantrum. Grow up.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-14T01:37:04.000Z

lol the lefties are already losing their minds. Paul's gonna shake things up and I'm here for it.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-14T01:53:04.000Z

cope harder mate, he's gonna get in and you'll be seething 😂

James O’Brien2026-07-14T01:52:04.000Z

Shake things up? More like embarrass us on the world stage. Can't wait for the diplomatic incidents.
