Did you see even Don Brash reckons Luxon should fire Winston as Foreign Minister? Before anyone gets their hopes up, this never going to happen. If the PM cut Winston loose, the government would fall apart. That would kill not only Luxon's current term but his ambitions for a second. MMP is a game of swallowing dead rats. Campaign-mode Winston is the political equivalent of one of those giant New York sewer rats. With the plague. Gross. Unsightly. A pain the arse. But impossible to get rid of. The PM has so far handled the situation well, using the playbook of Jacinda Ardern and Helen Clark to deal with his brain farts. Those calling for his sacking are hypocrites to their party. Carmel Sepuloni sat round the cabinet table with Winston POST two Wongs don't make a White. The faux shock and outrage only make their own leader look weak. If 'Go Home Gate' is so outrageous and egregious, why hasn't Chris Hipkins ruled Winston out? He did so about this stage of the election cycle in 2023. Why not last night? Why not this morning? I text Hipkins today to ask exactly this question. Why not rule him out ever being foreign minister, at least? Guess what? Crickets. Radio silence. Why? Same reason as Luxon. They need him. Or might need him. Luxon, because he's no John Key and doesn't have the arty vote to govern without New Zealand First. And Hipkins, because if he did get enough support to cross the finish line, he'd rather do it alongside Winston Peters than Te Pati Maori. The fact is, Winston can say what he likes and he knows it. His comments aren't popular with most fair-minded kiwis, but then, really, neither are the Chrises'.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Winston Peters escaped censure yesterday from the Speaker after his little outburst against a Green MP. But Mr Peters is still being judged in the court of public opinion. Carmel Sepuloni was jumping up and down demanding he resign, or be sacked, or just go away, which is not going to happen. China complained to MFAT. You've got to hand it to China – they play a subtle ball. They never mentioned Winston by name, calling him a certain politician, and then their Ambassador gave this little zinger saying: "Sometimes, a statement says more about the person that makes it, than anything or anybody else." All this didn't deter Winston, who doubled down and said he was defending democracy. Which is fine. The Green MP was being very interrupty in the House, but you can do that without sounding like an ignorant grumpy old man. And that's what Winston should be most ashamed of. He didn't have a clue about this MP. It was up there with Paul Henry who asked for a more New Zealand Governor General when the Governor General was born and raised here, and had even been the President of Rugby League. Both men looked at the colour of the face and made a terrible assumption. There's a word for that. And they just should have been better prepped before they opened their big mouth and stuck their foot in it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
