Synopsis: New Zealand is facing a choice. Tough economic reforms brought in by the right-wing National Party, designed to alleviate New Zealand's dependence on foreign borrowing, have been praised by many business owners and farmers, but criticised by pensioners and those reliant on government support. On the rise is the New Zealand First Party, led by former National politician Winston Peters, aiming to become the country's first Maori Prime Minister. With a new proportional voting system destined to break up the two party system, New Zealand First looks posed to do well at the polls. Yet all is still up for grabs in an election contested between two visions for New Zealand; to plough through economic reforms, or to turn back the clock. ABC Australia talks to both sides of the debate.

Watching this after the 2023 election while waiting for the special votes to be counted. Winston Peters is still the one of New Zealand's most important politicians, whether you like it or not.
RIP Sir Ed.
Great old bit of tape! I literally jumped when I saw my aunty in the mix with Winston while he must have been campaigning
Thank you so much for uploading this iconic piece of history
Tribe Cafe - The funny thing is the last couple of days coincidentally i was trying to remember the name of that Youth Cafe they had on Cuba St Wellington Next door to Cheapskates Skateboard shop and 2 doors down from Midcity Tavern back in the mid-90s. Now I remember, Thank You.
Holy mackerel, 1996 looks so ancient now lol.
2003 and 2005 looks like 1990s
Not really
gadsternz said 8 years ago about this video, " A comment that is directed to Muslims (there are 40,000 muslims in nz today). Wasn't he the one that supports stringent migration policy? The country needs an open minded person whose in touch with reality."
I wonder what gadsternz will be saying in another 8 years.
.
and then Winnie went with the Nats.... *rolls eyes*
then he fucked over his voters by going with Labour and getting comrade ardern in power, similar unscrupulous deals got hitler into power in 1930s germany too.
This is amazing. Whatbwinston was banging on about was the neolibe4al revolution that was supposed to makeneveryone's lives better. Wrong. Really good picture quality here, too.
Investment even foreign investment is a positive thing,if you want a lower unemployment rate.....

Do we own the prisons
Lol Kiwis
I Would Love to see a Māori Prime Minister for New Zealand One Day. God Bless The Māori's. From an Australian with a Māori Heritage
Winston Peters charismatic. Yah right! Only within his supporters he is. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against this man but this vid is clearly biased towards NZ1st. Wasn't Peters the one who said " Indeed these groups are like the mythical Hydra - a serpent underbelly with multiple heads capable of striking at any time
and in any direction."?
If NZ is a country of inmigrants, How come that no foreigners where shown on this documental??? I would have loved to see their testimonies....
