"New Zealand First leader and Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters is promising to bring “steel” to the Government as it faces tough economic times.
Hundreds of people have gathered to hear New Zealand First leader Winston Peters’ State of the Nation address today at the Palmerston North conference centre.
There was a small protest outside the conference centre where Peters gave his speech.
There were about 20 Free Palestine protestors gathered. One used a megaphone to push their message as Peters entered the premises.
He didn’t say anything to the protestors, except to look at them and shake his head.
During his address, Peters referenced the protesters as the “group outside saying ‘Winston go home’”. On the Israel-Hamas conflict, he said the Government had “done our best”.
Peters said NZ First’s absence from Parliament during the 2020-2023 term was the chief reason why the country had gone downhill."
Oh, of course it was Winnie!
"Without the handbrake, Labour cared more about feelings than the duty to competently govern our country.”
Peters railed against the media, once again claiming he wasn’t covered during the election campaign.
He said the country couldn’t be fixed until its problems were acknowledged. He claimed Labour had left a “barrage of broken promises”, citing a “crumbling, underfunded health system”.
On education, Peters spoke of the “staggering” number of classrooms New Zealand was lacking and the levels of truancy.
Peters talked of the “implosion on the left”, a reference to the Green Party launching an investigation into MP Darleen Tana, whose husband’s business has been accused of migrant exploitation.
He referenced Tana not by name but as the person who “had the moko on her chin”.
Peters criticised the recent high levels of immigration, saying there had been no proper planning by the previous Government for the number of migrants it wanted to bring in after Covid-19.
Peters said there was no greater expert on Labour’s lack of humility or understanding of democracy than he.
Such modesty Winnie...
He grouped Labour, the Greens and Te Pāti Māori together, saying they were competing to see “who can be most culturally woke”. Peters said that when MPs from those parties were in the media, they were “always over-gesturing like an Italian waiter”, which received a lot of laughs from the crowd."
