ACT Has No Time For Winston Peters

ACT Leader Hon Richard Prebble said today “the latest polls show that two thirds of New Zealanders do not want the next government of New Zealand being dictated to by Mr Peters.

“ACT’s message to the voters is to ensure that they give their vote to a party like ACT that will not be dealing with New Zealand First.

“ACT is not going to bother to respond to Mr Peter's position, announced today. This is Mr Peter’s seventeenth position regarding his preferred coalition partner, and no doubt there will be a new one tomorrow,” said ACT Leader Hon Richard Prebble.
