There’s a view that Winston Peters is playing power games as David Seymour and Christopher Luxon prepare for coalition talks in Auckland.  

Winston Peters failed to make it to an expected three-way meeting in Wellington yesterday.  

Former New Zealand First MP Andrew Williams told Mike Hosking that Peters is showing his experience. 

He said that Peters entered Parliament in 1979, when Luxon was only nine and Seymour was yet to be born. 

I think, Williams said, that Winston is trying to give them a real lesson in politics 101 and calling the shots.
