Clueless Nats Are Sinking Fast – Peters

New Zealand First leader Rt Hon Winston Peters told Parliament today that the National Party has no idea how to pull the country out of the economic bog into which it is sinking.

Mr Peters says we are an export dependent nation but the Government has failed to implement policies to help the export sector.

“We can’t go on with our inflated dollar that the IMF says is inflated by as much as 20 per cent.”

Mr Peters says the 1000 New Zealanders a week leaving for Australia shows who is really running our country – Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard.

“She is keeping the country going at the moment.

“The National Party are out of ideas, out of excuses… and soon they will be out of office.

“There will be a brighter future but only when they [National] and their Klingons on the starboard bow are gone,” says Mr Peters.
