What is it with these disingenuous politicians playing at - Question time should be not about politicking, not about trying to gotcha question, but to ask genuinely useful questions of the government. What utter contempt of Parliament the Labour, Greens and the Maori Party members behave like nasty, bully paddy-stamping children. Unless they change their behaviour, they should be SEEN and NOT HEARD.

[susanpockett]

Why do we pay people to behave like this in Parliament? We all know that the opposition was dumped with the biggest thud in history last year. And now all they do is ask "questions" like this. What the hell is Parliament all about?

[sandypike]

At last the speaker is finally endeavouring to ensure that the business of governance takes place in a respectful way so that those funding those mps can hear what is said. Time for those who want to be paid for wasting time to be exposed. The government is not yet in government for a year but the opposition want to use the mess they created to question the work the government are actually doing to clean up that mess. Ms Sepulini clearly lives in la la land and missed the memo that failure is nothing to trumpet about.

Well said Winstone Peters.
Thankyou and God bless you : )

[DW_Kiwi]

People are leaving because of the impending race problems and what Labour has done over the last six years!!

[JamesChristie-oe]

Go Winnie … beautiful
Labour are lame and limp long may they stay that way for the sake of nz

[BabyDogOfJustice]

They feel zero guilt with the mess they left everyone.

[Medders-kc]

Keep giving them the truth Winston. We know they are to blame for the mess they left

[namrepusprime]

Its going to take at least another 6months to start recovering. The fact banks are dropping interest rates is a good sign.
This mess is Labour, they took a giant shit on Kiwis and are looking at us like its our fault.

[stabsta]

Just for clarity, I've just left New Zealand but NOT because of the current government but rather the fear of what the next labour led government might do.

[quillakiore]

Petrol prices down, interest rates tracking down... inflation stats reducing. Thank goodness the adults are back in charge

[spider-man]

she's not even listening to the answers ..

[rickyhowe]

Duputy Dawg Simpleone out of her depth and in denial of what her party caused and she's the one blaming others

[donr]

Sit down and stop wasting valuable time with drivel opposition clowns.. Sock it to them, Winston!!

[Esword-hw]

Winston is lite year’s ahead of these clowns

[RobClifton-vief]

Winston Peters is 100% right.
Labour an Greens left the economy in a mess.
2016 the overseas debt was 6 billion an in 2022 the overseas debt went to a 100 billion under labour an Greens an that debt costs the NZ tax payer, 9 billion dollars in interest .
Labour promised a 100, 000 new houses an built 2000 new houses, kiwi build failed .
Crime went up %150 under labour an Greens .
Inflation an taxes increased under labour an wages went lower .

[JoBlack-dgey]

May NZ never have to suffer another Labour government

[kiza]

She’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer, is she ? God forbid these people ever came to power

[markhartley]

Blah blah blah Ask a question that has merit to move the country forward and create healthy debate.
Not this ignorant point scoring bull dust coming from a party that had a major role in creating the problems
that the current government are addressing, Kudos to Winston

Most people knows that Labour created a welfare dependent society, over spending and importing more welfare dependent people, the country was sinking further into debt. The only way to reverse that is to provide Tax incentives to businesses so they can create jobs which helps the economy.
