Maiki Sherman resigns from TVNZ

Maiki Sherman resignation

Maiki Sherman has resigned from TVNZ, saying her role had become “untenable” following intense scrutiny in recent weeks.

Sherman confirmed Friday was her final day at the broadcaster after a week marked by controversy, including a five-day suspension from Parliament over an aggressive pursuit of National MP Stuart Smith and renewed attention on a homophobic slur she directed at Stuff journalist Lloyd Burr during a pre-Budget function last year.



Sherman acknowledged the offensive remark, apologised for her conduct, and said it followed “deeply personal and inappropriate” comments made toward her.

TVNZ praised her contribution to political journalism, highlighting her election coverage, poll presentations, and Beehive reporting, while senior executive Nadia Tolich said the broadcaster respected Sherman’s decision to step down.

  1. “Stuff journalist…”

    Yet more evidence that he was probably acting like one when she called him one.

  2. Never watch TVNZ, so have no idea who this is….dropping the MSM over 15 years ago was the best move I ever made…..

  3. They all have been instructed what to read & say via communist teleprompters…and they have no conscience in repeating the lies! ie ‘safe & effective’ or ‘8 weeks worth of diesel fuel’, while excluding the messages of minor parties in an (s)election year!
    Definitely Zionist-controlled ‘media’ here in NZ.
    RNZ isn’t much better, especiall w/ ‘Checkpoint’ & Lisa Owen constantly chiding and interrupting guest in attempts to steer the content of the interviews.
    & the Dragon Lady Kim Hill wasn’t & isn’t much better…

    What to believe? Absolutely NONE of it, but look at what the directors, producers and script writers really are; Zionist operating a giant psy-ops as per Talmudic instructions.
    Noahide Law with death sentences for being ‘anti-semitic’ are coming when the Constitutions of the various nations are cancelled.
