Winston Peters

I'm not on to talk about the National Party losing support or other parties losing support.

I'm on to talk about a party called New Zealand First.

We don't win this election.

This country's heading off to a much, much, much, much more desperate place than we are at the moment.

And we could be, and we must be doing better than we're doing now, and we've got to turn our mind to that.

But the alternative is horrifying.

Because the National Party's not for it.

The ACT Party's not for it.

I mean, they've got their policies which are to stagger on with the Commerce Commission that's not working.

The Labour Party's policy was the Groceries Commissioner, which is a totally toothless tiger.

And we need to do something dramatically like they did in Australia.

Well, you know, sooner or later you are into campaign mode.

We're six months away from the election.

And if it hasn't happened now, then perhaps we should put it to the New Zealand people and tell them,

to give us the tools when we finish the job.

And that's what we're seeking to do now.

We've worked really hard.

We've kept ourselves focused on the real issues in this country.

The polls are rising for us.

And this is going to be a seminal inflection election.
