Growing calls for Winston Peters to apologise for his incorrect claims about the March 15 terror attacks.

Peters said New Zealand only recently found out that the Prime Minister's office received information about the attack before it happened.

ZB political editor Jason Walls says Peters has tried to appeal to the nation's fringe groups before- but it's perplexing as to why he's making these false claims now.
