Summary
Paul Henry’s political leap is here — ditching TVNZ to run as an Act Party list MP, with a candid radio debut that had him dodging nudist jokes while praising Helen Clark as his political hero. He’s all about authenticity, no rigid plans, and a six-year commitment that’s tinged with mortality. On TVNZ, he’s a defender — calling it a “no-brainer” to keep for now, and the Act Party’s quiet power needs a better PR push.
