Labour Blocks Peters Tabling Russell Mcveagh Documents

The Rt Hon Winston Peters MP, Leader of New Zealand First, today said that Labour showed their true colours this afternoon in Parliament by blocking the tabling of papers from the law firm Russell McVeagh that should be a matter of public record.

“Mr Mallard’s actions in the House today exposed the Labour Party for what they are – in cahoots with a certain business elite who had so much undue influence when last time they were in government,” said Mr Peters.
