Gordon Campbell: Gordon Campbell On Winston Peters’ Bad Trip, And The Return Of The PPPs Zombie

According to RNZ’s embedded reporter, the importance of Winston Peters’ talks in Washington this week “cannot be overstated.” Right. “Exceptionally important.” said the maestro himself. This epic importance doesn’t seem to have culminated in anything more than us expressing our “concern” to the Americans about a series of issues that are already done and dusted. Tariffs? Australia isn’t getting an exemption, so why would we? Slashing 80% of the US foreign aid budget, and leaving the door open to China in the Pacific? A fait accompli, already.
