What conflicts of interest, if any, did Paul Henry declare in TVNZ's interests register during his tenure, and on what dates were they entered?
Answered by
Hon Paul Goldsmith
List MP · National Party · Minister for Media and Communications
Answer
I am advised that Paul Henry disclosed a perceived or potential conflict of interest prior to his TVNZ Board appointment being confirmed, as he had accepted a contract to host four episodes of The Chase NZ. Filming was completed before Mr Henry joined the Board in July 2025. This was formally recorded in the TVNZ register on 27 August 2025 and managed under the Board’s conflict management policies.
