NZME turns its own radio stunt into political news
26 July 2026 Radio Hauraki asked new Act candidate Paul Henry to play a “quick game of shoot, shag, marry” using Labour leader Chris Hipkins, New Zealand First leader Winston Peters and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon as the three choices.
“You’ve got to shoot Hipkins, haven’t you?” Henry answered. “There is no question … You’ve got to shoot Hipkins. You’ve given me three choices, to be fair.”
Henry then chose Peters for the second option, leaving Luxon as the person he would marry.
