“No apologies to you mate. And no apologies for the fact your show has so few viewers.”
In 2012, on Channel 10’s doomed breakfast show, the disastrously unsuccessful host unwisely tried to bully a Melbourne trade union guy….
PAUL HENRY: Do you want to apologise to the taxpayers and the people of Melbourne who’d like to use that street and the taxpayers who’re funding the police activity there. Do you want to apologise to those people now?
DAVID NOONAN: Well you know Paul I think you’ve got a particular political view of the world. You were bought over in the last few months from New Zealand. Mate, construction workers in New Zealand earn a lot less than they do in Australia and the sort of right wing shock jock stuff you want to go on with really isn’t going to faze me. We have a right to peaceful protest. We’ve got an important issue here and cheap shots like that really aren’t going to impress anybody.
PAUL HENRY: Right, so no apologies. Thanks for joining us this morning, David.
DAVID NOONAN: So no apologies to you mate. And no apologies for the fact your show has so few viewers.
[An awkward pause follows, then the camera cuts away to a news headline update before Henry comes back onscreen]
PAUL HENRY: Alrighty. I disagree with almost everything he said with the exception of the too few viewers thing. That is a shame.

for the fact your show has so few viewers.”
