Winston Peters will refuse to go into Government with Labour again so long as it continues to push for equal Māori leadership. At New Zealand First's Christchurch conference the leader steered into the race debate saying the name Aotearoa is being rammed down our throats. Winston Peters revving his supporters up and out of hibernation. After a sluggish start, Peters came out swinging. So too New Zealand, threatened by the name Aotearoa. "They're ramming the name of the country down your throats." "It is a bottom-line that if parties wish to pursue racist policies we will not be working with them," he said. Winston Peters sees his pathway back to power as the growing sense of unease about a changing Aotearoa. Tomorrow his party will vote on a policy to remove almost all references to the Treaty of Waitangi in our laws.
