Chris Hipkins is chasing passing cars again:
New Zealand First leader Winston Peters is being challenged to prove his party’s claims surrounding the grounding of an Interislander ferry amid refusals to front to some media.
Labour leader Chris Hipkins says NZ First’s claim the Aratere’s grounding last month was because of the vessel’s autopilot being left on too long during a coffee run is a “serious allegation” and indicates Peters is not holding himself to his own standards.
“Winston Peters is the first to lambast anyone who makes an allegation that might in any way negatively reflect on him and demand that they front up immediately with the proof,” Hipkins told the Herald.
“New Zealand First has made a pretty big allegation here and they should front up with their evidence.”
The claim was posted to NZ First’s X account yesterday.
