Hobson’s Pledge Trust
The fact that in 2019 a report that outlined a plan for two governments under a tribal committee came to the Government but was never shown to any New Zealand First Cabinet Minister has angered party leader Winston Peters.
Peters alleges the report — titled He Puapua — was kept from him deliberately despite NZ First and Labour being in a coalition government at the time. See Peters is back and so is He Puapua
The coalition agreement stated:
“The Labour and New Zealand First parties will work together in coalition government in good faith and with no surprises, reflecting appropriate notice and consultation in important matters, including the ongoing development of policy.”
“This report was deliberately suppressed. It was a gesture of ingratitude and bad faith,” Mr Peters said.
In response, Labour MP Willie Jackson claimed that his party didn’t intentionally withhold the contentious report from Winston Peters, but he’s glad NZ First never saw it. Jackson glad.
Perhaps in response to our reminder last week, Jackson said he continued to consider the report, and the outcome of a Cabinet paper on the report may be made public this week.
