Deputy prime minister and leader of one of the three parties in New Zealand’s coalition government, Winston Peters, has taken to social media to chastise fellow MPs for professional standards following the use of offensive language during Question Time.
He outlined his concerns in a post on X, saying, “From relaxing the dress standards in our House to now having utter disorder and the worst of offensive words uttered in question time ... with no reaction or repercussion. We have MPs wearing t-shirts and sneakers, hats, sunglasses, and jerseys, and even occasionally barefooted.”
