Who is Duncan Garner?

Duncan Garner is a New Zealand radio and television host and journalist. Garner took over the Radio Live Drive slot in December 2012, after a trial week earlier that year proved successful. He is the former as of 2010 the 3 News political editor in Wellington.

Garner attended Westlake Boys High School, and the Auckland University of Technology. Starting as a reporter for Television New Zealand in 1995, he worked on the current affairs show Holmes from 2000 to 2002.

Garner moved to rival TV3 in 2003. He broke the story of the NZ$195,000 golden handshake Labour 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 the 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 audio tapes secretly recorded at a National Party cocktail party by Kees Keizer. The tapes caught deputy leader Bill English saying he would sell Kiwibank, and future Speaker of the House of Representatives 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.
