Career

Duncan Garner started his career as a reporter for Television New Zealand in 1995, working on the current affairs show Holmes from 2000 to 2002. He then moved to rival TV3 in 2003. He broke the story of a NZ$195,000 golden handshake that Labour Party MP John Tamihere received leaving the Waipareira Trust in October 2004.

The story prompted an investigation by the Serious Fraud Office, which caused Tamihere to resign from Cabinet. Tamihere was later cleared of financial impropriety, and the story won Garner the 2004 Qantas Media Award for Television News Reporter – Politics.

In August 2008, three months before the New Zealand general election, Garner broadcast audiotapes secretly recorded at a National Party cocktail party by Kees Keizer. The tapes caught deputy leader Bill English saying he would sell Kiwibank, and MP Lockwood Smith saying National had to adopt policies the party did not like in order not to scare voters. The broadcast earned Garner a nomination for Best News Reporting in the 2009 Qantas Film and Television Awards.

In March 2010, TV3 launched the weekend current affairs program The Nation, with Garner as co-host. In the wake of the 2010 MPs expenses scandal, Labour Party politician Chris Carter alleged that Garner had a vendetta against him. The head of TV3 news and current affairs Mark Jennings replied saying Garner did not have a grudge, and “Carter is a serial offender on expenses … it’s Duncan’s job to shine the light on that.”

In 2013, Garner hosted two new current affairs shows on TV3 – 3rd Degree and The Vote. In July 2020, Garner promised to become a vegan for a year if Labour were to win enough votes in the 2020 general election to govern alone. On 17 October 2020, Labour was the first New Zealand party to reach this achievement under the MMP electoral system. On 20 October, Garner wrote an article where he acknowledged his commitment and indicated that he would attempt to fulfil it.
