Winston Peters: TVNZ Debate
Rt Hon Winston Peters
New Zealand
First Leader
Member of Parliament for Northland

SEPTEMBER 2017
TVNZ DEBATE
1. I very recently accepted TVNZ’s invitation to take part in a debate with all parliamentary party leaders and party leaders outside Parliament with 3% in a recent poll.
2. I cleared my programme and accepted that invitation enthusiastically.
3.
Hence, I was astonished, on a general inquiry late Tuesday,
to be told by them that neither Labour nor National had ever
accepted the invitation.
4. However, the attached email purports otherwise.
5. It appears Labour and National see little value in this debate and because of their absence, disappointingly, I have been driven to the same conclusion.
