Open Letter To The Prime Minister Re: Governor General Appointment

Dear Prime Minister

I have been approached this afternoon by a New Zealander who called your Office and was told the Governor General’s appointment resulted from the Government consulting with all political parties and making a recommendation to the Queen.

That advice is false and I would be grateful if you would advise your staff not to mislead the public in this way.

Yours sincerely

[signed]

Rt Hon Winston Peters
MP for Tauranga
LEADER OF NEW ZEALAND FIRST
