Winston Peters today outlined his plans to turn New Zealand around following his address in Palmerston North.

In his State of the Nation speech this afternoon, the NZ First leader was back in familiar territory, after spending the majority of the first 100-days in Government in ministerial mode.

Peters says he wants Kiwis to understand that the new Government is focused on getting the country lined up properly.

"It'll take some time, but we can turn our present slide, so to speak, in economic and social performance around- and get back to doing what we used to do."
