MEDIAWATCH: Winston Peters audacity reaches Bishop Brian Tamaki levels

ByMartyn Bradbury

Wait, what the actual????

Fresh from spreading Covid misinformation and freaking everyone in Northland out, Winston has the audacity to say this…

Winston Peters on Northland level 3 lockdown

The Government’s Covid-19 response has lost its way and now Northlanders are paying the price, former deputy prime minister Winston Peters says.

Northland is currently in alert level 3 after it was revealed an Auckland woman with Covid obtained travel documents and spent several days in the region.

She is believed to have travelled around Northland, possibly with another woman.

Peters told The Country’s Jamie Mackay that the region was in lockdown because of a lack of information.

“If the Government knows who these two women are and the background circumstances, then why aren’t they sharing that with the people of Northland so that they can forewarn their neighbours and others?

“The system is a mess when you don’t get proper disclosure.”

…let me see if I can get this completely fucking straight – after spreading Covid disinformation that proves to be false, Peters has the audacity to now complain about a lack information???

Has he become so old that he’s forgotten what he said in the weekend?

He’s having a train wreck of a week.

Maybe if you weren’t spreading conspiracy theories Winston, Northland would get the message to vaccinate?

Honestly Winston, if you want to help, stop helping.

  1. So you are saying we can trust this man who has made a career of pretending to know more than he does . He cost the country plenty because he could not fill in form properly that most of us manage when we turn 65 . When he had power he did little to advance the country and made us listen to Shane Jones pontificate . Apart from the gold card what has he done to advance NZ.

    1. Oh, I don’t know.. I remember him boldly exposing the scandal of a Russian submarine being in cook Strait.

  3. Instead of spreading misinformation and lies, trying to discredit the government, Winston Peters being from Northland, would do better justice for his kith & kin if he rolled up his sleeves and visited Northern communities encouraging folk to get out there and get vaccinated for their own benefit. Maybe even taking them to vaccination centres if necessary.

    But that is not WP’s style. His preference is to spread untruths, in an attempt to make himself relevant, which he’s not!

    1. Well said Mary, do something for the Northern folk and not for personal political gain Winston.

  4. Aw, come on peeps, Winnie is a “natural black hat”, aka “devils advocate” type. He’ll ALWAYS put up an opposing argument. Democracy demands it. But, yeah, maybe he should sit down on anything covid, at his age n all. He had his time in government and was voted out. Post to a blog instead Winston?

  5. He’s had a lot of admirers simply for his humorous, laconic style which is missed in this time of about-fakes. I have to agree: ‘the system is a mess because of proper disclosure’ means in the wake of draconian privacy laws no department can get information from another department in times of stress & crises, and real people on the ground are left floundering in bureaucratic drift.
    If you murder a girl and stick her body in a suitcase your gold plated name suppression is guaranteed a free pass.
