Winston Peters on Trade Tour NOT Baubles of Office boxing jaunt
This is a very funny story…
After a story broke last night, Winston Peters delivered a photo essay
The email was so big that one staff member said there were so many images attached they couldn’t forward the email.
On Tuesday night, Winston Peters’ press secretary sent a long email to reporters, responding to 1News story. It reported how foreign affairs officials moved “within hours” to organise a trip to the Middle East, coinciding with an invite for Peters to get ringside to attend a Joseph Parker fight in Riyadh.
The response from Peters’ office speaks to how the NZ First leader (flying high in the polls) reacts to what he perceives as negative stories.
Stuff
…so effectively Matua Winston was pinged by 1 News for how quickly he suddenly threw together a trade visit that incredibly coincided with him hanging out with brutal oligarchs to watch his favourite blood sport.
How charming.
Winston has responded by getting pinged with a vast amount of pictures to show that he really was working the whole time meeting and greeting Oligarch regimes with terrible human rights abuses which just happened to serendipity with a formal cultural trade function ringside with his favourite stud, Joseph Parker.
Let’s look at those amazing photos again from Matua Winston’s Trade Tour:
The Foreign Minister of Aotearoa NZ Winston Peters demanding to know who would leak any of this to the Press Gallery while meeting The Ministry of Aprons in South Korea so that they can write off the travel miles.
The Foreign Minister of Aotearoa NZ Winston Peters alarmed to be meeting with an actual trade partner and wondering why they didn’t just fly via India instead – while simultaneously remembering why.
The Foreign Minister of Aotearoa NZ Winston Peters with no idea why he’s in this line up and is cursing the lack of direct flights to Saudi Arabia.
The Foreign Minister of Aotearoa NZ Winston Peters concerned that another Chinese Trade Official caught him between airports and is not sure what he just signed away. Grateful there were no Indians.
The Foreign Minister of Aotearoa NZ Winston Peters finally in Saudi Arabia for the formal cultural trade function featuring Joseph Parker, worried that the Hawk Hunting of local peasants might not happen because of new UN rules. Silently curses the WHO.
The Foreign Minister of Aotearoa NZ Winston Peters very happy to hear that the Hawk Hunting of Locals will go ahead after all.
