Broadcaster Paul Henry has warned New Zealand is "broken and in desperate need of repair" at an ACT rally on Sunday.
Addressing the crowd as a guest speaker at the party's 2024 'Change Makers' event, Henry accused Labour of squandering the opportunity the COVID-19 pandemic gave New Zealand and leaving us saddled with "astonishing debt".
"I think this country is deeply in the shit," he warned - and added there were increasingly few options to get out of it.
"I believe that ACT could be the last cab left on the rank heading in the right direction," he said.
