Peters Hits Back on Immigration and Politics | Christchurch News

Winston Peters is firing back across the political spectrum, accusing the government of unfairly restricting immigration—especially targeting India—and slamming National for warning voters that backing NZ First could lead to Labour. He calls National’s claims “duplicity,” reiterates NZ First’s 2022 pledge not to support Labour, and defends the council’s $15 million Christchurch Cathedral contribution as vital symbolic investment, even suggesting Christchurch should’ve hosted the Commonwealth Games. At Lyttelton Port, he questions a DP World deal with Māori rūnanga, warning it could harm local unity and drain value to foreign economies. And he’s taking aim at The Opportunity Party, calling their media coverage biased, their land tax policy a death sentence for seniors, and their candidates “seriously left-wing”—vowing NZ First will prove pollsters wrong.
