I spoke to Phil Goff, who had been Labour’s Foreign Minister in the previous two terms. Phil said he would do that, I passed that message back to Zhang Wei, and Peters did follow the policy of the Helen Clark led government. Twenty years later, we have a rogue Minister in a very different coalition government with a weak leader. Helen Clark is reported as saying that Peters’ behaviour is “inviting a sacking.” He is simply repeated the memes portraying China as some vast regressive gulag which is far from the truth.
