TVNZ STANDS BY ITS STORY

Further to the story on ONE News at 6.00pm and HOLMES tonight concerning Winston Peters, TVNZ stands by its reporter and its story. The facts as reported are correct. However, claims by Mr Peters that TVNZ is currently being sued for defamation in connection with an earlier story on the Scampi industry are completely untrue.
