While at the same time NZF was being funded by hundreds of thousands of dollars by the NZ First Foundation, & all hell broke loose when details leaked to the media it had secretly received huge donations from the property, horse racing, commercial fishing & forestry sectors.
I have to ask who exactly who is NZF actually putting first ?
Only the mercurial Winston Peters could be the ex Deputy PM & Foreign Minister, while continuing to portray himself as the anti-establishment party.
He once had great promise as a future PM, but a fatal flaw, always this destructive side to his character.
Was a very popular & successful Foreign Minister in the Ardern govt apparently.
Would never in a million years vote for NZF but he is always entertaining to have in parliament.
