Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters says he wouldn’t feel bad if the man who heckled him at a Wellington Railway Station lost his job.
This morning, Peters, the Minister for Rail, told Newstalk ZB’s Mike Hosking that the behaviour during his press conference was “disgraceful” and had become far too prevalent in New Zealand.
Peters and Transport Minister Chris Bishop were at Wellington Railway Station yesterday morning unveiling $604.6 million of Government funding in Budget 2025 that would go towards upgrading and renewing rail in New Zealand.
At the end of the media stand-up, a commuter wearing a lanyard of a prominent engineering firm took on Peters, saying: “Bollocks,” to which Peters responded: “You look like bollocks mate.”
He also called Peters a “f****** moron”.
