Winston Peters voices support for new law banning protesters from people's homes

Winston Peters supports banning protests outside of people's homes.

Submissions close today on a proposed law change, to prohibit disruptive demonstrations outside private residences.

Pro-Palestine demonstrators last week protested outside the Foreign Minister's Auckland home after Israeli forces intercepted a flotilla headed to Gaza, including three Kiwis.

Peters says this new law aims to provide clarity.

"Everyone is entitled to their peace in their neighbourhood, and if you want to protest, there's places for protesting - but it isn't outside of people's homes."
