Article "Garbage" - Peters
An article in the Listener this week about New Zealand First Incorporated is “total garbage”, says Rt Hon Winston Peters.
Mr Peters says New Zealand First Incorporated was set up well before the political party with the sole purpose to preserve the name “New Zealand First”.
”This explains why in its first fifteen years there has been no income or expenses and this information could have been found out very simply by the Listener journalist.
“Instead the Listener has chosen to go with inference and innuendo under the guise of journalism. We suggest the individual concerned and those who follow up this rubbish go back and do Journalism 101.
“A number of media outlets are getting involved in an orchestrated smear campaign and they will simply not succeed,” said Mr Peters.
