Winston Peters is a racist, a transphobe, a homophobe, and sexist. Any one who votes for NZF is ⬆️ Any political party that is happy to form a government with Peters, also ⬆️ It's as simple as that.

Some reporters seem to think that uncritically parroting the lies of politicians makes them unbiased. But when you give an easily disprovable lie equal weight to the truth, you are in fact taking a side.
