Newshub - Hilary Barry's last TV3 bulletin (excerpt, 27 May 2016)

Television (Excerpts) – 2016

Hilary Barry was in her early 20s when she began reporting for TV3 in 1993. Twenty-three years later she left the network, after more than a decade co-presenting its prime time bulletin. In this excerpt from her last TV3 bulletin, newsreader Mike McRoberts gives an emotional farewell speech. A best of Barry video package shows her drinking a Spam smoothie for an early story, laughing about an "emergency defecation situation", and reporting from Christchurch and South Africa. Barry later spoke of leaving TV3 after many close colleagues had left the network.

I know I speak for everyone when I say I can't imagine what life is going to be like here without you being around.
– Newshub anchor Mike McRoberts farewells fellow anchor Hilary Barry
