Winston Peters says Prime Minister Mark Brown didn't properly consult New Zealand before signing a strategic deal with China in February.

It comes after a Code Yellow was called at the health facilities after an increase in patients needing acute care. NT Health says there are about 44 aged care patients occupying beds in the facilities due to the lack of residential aged care bed available. As a result, it is contributing to bed block, reducing inpatient beds and increasing wait times within the emergency department.

The Opposition Leader's again expressing concern about Te Pati Maori, but not yet ruling out working with them. Toxic culture claims by Eru Kapa-Kingi were followed by the party releasing documents accusing him of threatening Parliamentary staffers. They also show his mother, recently demoted Whip MP Mariameno Kapa-Kingi, was warned about risking budget overspend. Chris Hipkins says it's clear Te Pati Māori has some internal issues to work through before they'd be in a position to form a government. Chris Hipkins told John MacDonald any decisions about whether or not they'd form a coalition with Te Pati Māori will come closer to the election, as an awful lot can happen between now and then. However, he says, if there was an election today, he'd say they're not in a position at the moment to play a constructive role in future government.
