New Zealand First Leader Winston Peters says he wasn't dragged kicking and screaming into a new foreign investors deal. 

The Government’s approved changes to allow people with an investor residence visa to buy or build one home, starting at $5 million. 

They’re required to invest an extra $5 million into the economy to qualify. 

Peters told Mike Hosking he supports the changes and wants to make very clear it's not a change to the foreign buyers ban. 

He says it's a change to investment rules to attract money to the country that we desperately need.
