"All the other party leaders said he was wrong, but NZ First leader Winston Peters isn’t out in the cold quite yet.

After he told a public meeting in Nelson that he doesn’t think Māori are actually indigenous to Aotearoa New Zealand, Peters faced swift and often brutal rebukes from other political players.

Labour leader Chris Hipkins, who has already said he’d rather lose his job than work with Peters, called Peters’ comments “divisive”. He said it was proof Peters was “a force for chaos” and couldn’t be in government.

ACT leader David Seymour called it “ugly” politics.

"They're desperate. The truth is most polls still have them under 5%, his political career is over and he's got nothing to show for 45 years of this,” Seymour said.

And National leader Christopher Luxon said Peters was clearly “wrong”, but he once again refused[b] [/b]to give an opinion on governing beside Peters.

Asked what line Peters would need to cross, before Luxon rules out working with him, the National leader refused to say."
