Winston Peters Attack on Ayling Sparks Outrage

The bar for political leadership in Election 2026 keeps dropping — but this is something else. When the Foreign Minister of New Zealand is publicly unloading like this, it’s no longer just rough politics. It’s a signal about what kind of discourse is now being normalised at the very top.

Jesus wept! This is the Foreign Minister of New Zealand!

This isn’t blunt politics — it’s straight-up abuse

You don’t have to like Ayling to see the problem

Look, I don’t like Jonathan Ayling either. I think he’s a right wing fanatic who is Jim Grenon’s new pet columnist at the NZ Herald. His pseudo-philosophical bullshit is a joke and the guy is a libertarian freak, like every right wing free speech champion.

However.

Winston is a former Deputy PM and the current Foreign Minister, for him to speak in such hate-drenched terms about Ayling is a terrible abuse of power and just another example of what a spiteful prick Winston really is.

Winston isn’t a blogger or podcaster — he’s the bloody Foreign Minister and for him to stoop as low as he is going in attacking Ayling is beneath the manner of the position he holds.

Winston is like an octogenarian on viagra, a stiff old prick that no one wants.

The sooner the calcified hate of NZ First is removed from positions of responsibility, the better!

Just ask the recreational fishing community.
