Winston's fury

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: When it comes to New Zealand's foreign relations, Foreign Minister Winston Peters likes to make all the big calls; remember the sacking of Phil Goff as the Ambassador to London?

So, when our newly appointed Reserve Bank Governor Anna Breman signed a letter of support for her embattled US counterpart Jerome Powell last week, Peters came out all guns blazing.

While recovering from surgery, Peters took to social media to scold Breman.

He made it clear that the Reserve Bank had no role in US politics and should not involve itself.

It's election year and expect Peters to be more vocal and continue speaking his mind on anything and everything.
