I don't care if tvnz have to pay out 'special' Henry for their slack mismanagement - and I expect to see at least one manager follow him - I want him off our screens for good. No more chances. Gone.

Oh, and this is the same botoxed genius that called Ian Morris's solo act "Text Pistol".

I don't want him back - how many sixth chances do others get? He's an embarassment and a waste of oxygen.

Gordon Campbell asks:
Should Henry be yellow carded, or red carded? Three strikes of racism of in one week would normally mean the state broadcasting employee in question was out the door. Some people are calling for Henry to be sacked, and an even larger number of people seem to be rallying to his support. At the least, TVNZ now has to put Henry on formal warning that any future racist comments by him will end in dismissal. Unless that step is taken by TVNZ CEO Rick Ellis, the whole structure of programme standards at state broadcasting – ie, all those rules and guidelines about pronunciation, diction, political neutrality, screening of adult material etc etc – is being brought into disrepute.
Because at the moment, state broadcasting seems to operating with one set of standards for everyone else, and different rules for Paul Henry. Maybe the Broadcasting Standards Authority legislation needs to be amended, to make it clear that any offenders who attract a certain level of ad revenue fall outside its ambit.
