Winston Peters takes swings at Govt, claims he was left in the dark over co-governance

Winston Peters continues to take swings at the Government, with claims co-governance was never a discussion at the coalition table in 2017.

The NZ First Leader says scrapping co-governance will be a deal-breaker if he's king-maker after next year's election.

He told Mike Hosking Labour Party ministers left him in the dark about co-governance discussions when he was Deputy PM.

“He Puapua was ordered and came to the Minister Mahuta and the Prime Minister said she didn't know about it, and I said post-election ‘well if you didn't know about it, and Mahuta heard it from you she should be sacked, and you’re not sacking her then you did know.’”

Jacinda Ardern is accusing Peters of making extreme and wrong statements, but won't rule out working with him again.
