The New Zealand First leader and Cabinet minister delivered his State of the Nation speech yesterday.
He took jabs at the previous government’s “race-based theory”, alluding to co-governance, “where some people’s DNA… made them somehow better than others”.
“I’ve seen that sort of philosophy before. I saw it in Nazi Germany, we all did,” he told an approving crowd.
In response, Hipkins said: “Kiwis deserve better than a deputy prime minister who behaves like a drunk uncle at a wedding.”
Today, the war of words has continued with a tweet from Peters.
“Chris Hipkins hid behind a press release yesterday and said that he was glad he ‘ruled me out’ before the election,” he tweeted this morning. “Newsflash Chris.
“I publicly ruled out working with you and your woke Labour cronies twelve months before you stuttered the words.
“But you know that. And so do the media who have the temerity to repeat your stutter.
“PS. Your ‘drunk uncle’ comment is laughable coming from someone who would get drunk on a wine biscuit.“
