Migrants Network: Luxon Must Sack Peters, Or Wear His RacismThe Union Network of Migrants (UNEMIG) is calling on Prime Minister Christopher Luxon to sack Winston Peters as Foreign Minister after his racist "go back to your own country" attack on Green MP Dr Lawrence Xu-Nan in Parliament this week, and to confront the wider pattern inside coalition partner New Zealand First that produced it.
Labour, the Greens and National's own campaign spokesperson have all called the remarks racist or called for Peters to go.
Prime Minister Luxon has so far called it "attention-seeking" and attempted to move on.
China's ambassador has felt the need to comment on how a New Zealand MP was treated by our own Foreign Minister.
Background informationUNEMIG is a migrant led, non-profit and non-sectarian organisation of migrant workers across the union movement which aims to protect the rights and welfare of migrant workers in New Zealand.
