Top journalist and commentator Heather du Plessis-Allan is the new host of Newstalk ZB's Drive show.
The current presenter of the station's Wellington Mornings show, du Plessis-Allan has been at the forefront of New Zealand's news for 15 years.
The Herald on Sunday columnist has hosted prime-time TV shows, grilled
politicians in her role as a press gallery journalist, broken many stories including the Saudi Sheep Farm saga and an investigation that showed up flaws in our firearms laws.
Du Plessis-Allan will step into the Drive slot on May 13. She replaces host Larry Williams, who has departed after 27 years in the job.
"This is the opportunity of a lifetime and I intend to come at it with everything. Interviewing the news-makers of the day and talking about the issues New Zealanders care about is my dream job. I am beyond thrilled," Du Plessis-Allan said today.
