from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

Paul Henry's promising his desire to instigate change is genuine, and he won't be wasting any time if he makes it into Parliament.   The former broadcaster's running as a list MP for the ACT party this election and has expressed his desire to become a minister.   Henry told Mike Hosking he knows the work is hard, and not always fun.   The 65-year-old says maybe he should have thought more about it, but he has considered the commitment overall.  Paul Henry says he'd like to give at least six years to his political career.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
