Winston Peters Refuses To Apologise For 'Racist' Comments After Meeting With PMCraig McCulloch Deputy Political EditorWinston Peters has refused to apologise for his attack on a Chinese-Kiwi MP despite the prime minister and others describing his comments as "racist". Addressing reporters for the first time since that meeting, Peters also declined to divulge what was said behind closed doors. Asked whether he would apologise, Peters instead doubled down, arguing his conduct was justified given Xu-Nan's heckling during his speech in Parliament. Speaking separately to reporters, National deputy Nicola Willis said she was disappointed Peters would not apologise. "Ultimately it is a matter for Winston Peters to be accountable for his words in Parliament."
