Peters Demands Accountability Over Vaccine Rollout | Christchurch News

Winston Peters is demanding criminal charges against former ministers over the Covid-19 vaccine rollout, calling the government’s pandemic inquiry a whitewash and warning that accountability will come if his party returns to power. He named specific officials he believes should face legal consequences, criticized the inquiry’s narrow scope, and compared New Zealand’s lack of public scrutiny to the U.S.’s questioning of figures like Fauci. Peters also shared his personal concern over his daughter’s health after vaccination, questioned media complicity in accepting official narratives, and criticized mainstream outlets for failing to hold the political system to account. On other issues, he defended the rejection of the Lyttelton Port proposal as the only way to keep benefits local, pushed for the release of the Waitangi Tribunal review amid delays, lamented the greyhound racing ban as a tragedy but noted it was the last of its kind, and stood by his controversial remarks about the Greens and AI, arguing New Zealand is uniquely positioned for future tech growth.
