"I look back on my comments ashamed," wrote the Newstalk ZB host.

"Learning more about different cultures, unlike my own is vital for understanding and conveying kindness. I'm sorry."


The broadcaster reportedly said that in future he will choose his words more carefully.

Earlier this week Media company NZME reportedly removed some of its online content in the wake of the Christchurch shootings because it was "upsetting people."

The broadcaster's column titled "Does Islam have any place in NZ public swimming pools?" was among the removed content.
