Unfortunately this is the kind of sleazy, base behaviour that people up and down New Zealand have got used to from Winston Peters and New Zealand First. And here's the real issues motivating Winston Peters' behaviour. Well, just today, Winston Peters was found to have been using taxpayer resources at the expense of the taxpayers' objectives of getting research done in Antarctica so his friends could go on coveted tours to the special continent. That was going to be on the news tonight because it was embarrassing for the Prime Minister, who said it was for philanthropy when there's no such policy, and Winston Peters used the old dead cat bounce. Throw something on the table in the hope that it would overshadow the bad news coming his way.
