That’s the kind of arrogance we don’t like.” The Labour leader, Chris Hipkins, has called on the prime minister, Christopher Luxon, to stand Peters down. “The allegations that he made against Bob Carr, a senior and well-respected politician, are totally unacceptable,”taking defamation action is embarrassing for New Zealand, it shows Winston Peters has abused his office.
