'Cry Havoc and Let Loose the Dogs of Separatism' 



Winston Peters, speaking in Hastings on the 4th of December, blasted the Labour party's Maori caucus for their pursuit of their divisive Co-Governance agenda. "They call themselves ‘The First Fifteen’ like the All Blacks or the Black Ferns. The rest in Labour are the second and third fifteen, and a collection of hangers-on. They are not a ‘broad church’, their previous proud claim, for disagreement and diversity. They have become ‘two-churches’, one ‘Labour Maori Church’, and the other the ‘Non-Maori Labour Church’ - including it would seem the Prime Minister."



Peters highlighted the Government's failures to tackle the pressing issues facing many ordinary New Zealanders like crime, the cost of living, and much more. Read the full speech below.

Shane Jones: Be wary of hasty judges and patsy politicians



In this opinion piece, Shane Jones reflects of the Supreme Court's decision that 16 year-olds should have the right to vote, "It is said that time and reflection deepen insight and produce understanding. Sadly, such folksy learnings seem absent from the current doings of our Supreme Court.



Its decision that 16-year-old tamariki should be votingin parliamentary elections reveals a paucity of reflection and understanding."

As we approach the end of 2022, it is important to reflect on the year that has passed. New Zealand First has continued to fight for everyday New Zealander's throughout 2022. Take a look at some of our most important moments of 2022.



On February 23rd, Winston Peters appeared on the AM show to speak about his visit to the Parliament protest.

On August 21st, New Zealand First leader Winston Peters delivered his 'Democracy not Co-Governance' speech at the Warkworth town hall. This public meeting kicked off our 2022 'Listening Tour' in which we travelled the country talking to ordinary New Zealanders about the tough issues facing them. In 2022 we visited Gore, Christchurch, Tauranga, Hastings, New Plymouth, and Warkworth. With packed out venues at every stop, it's clear New Zealand is looking for experienced representation in Parliament, and for a strong team to bring their voices to Parliament. The tour will continue in 2023.
