[@pspaulstewartinterviewinspires]

As a New Zealander myself, and as a soul living within humanity as we all are, I’m proud to hear this excellent statesman Mr Winston Peters, speak to the need to change this Veto power that large nations hold. I totally agree that it is dysfunctional. I was also glad to hear him point out, that it is about the quality of our voice, not the size of our armies, that matter. You’ll find more good points in this speech, than you’ll find in three speeches from larger powers, with their empty words, emotional manipulations, and their perceived power over others expressed through veto and other actions behind closed doors. Such clarity and sincere contributions are needed more. The balance here was evident in the highlighting of both the extremely disgusting violence of hamas, and the ongoing reaction of israel. Bravo Winston and thanks to the entire NZ government for representing New Zealand’s voice here.

[@grahamhughes2025]

this government of cuts and chaos.............if it was NZ's voice this Government would recognise Palestine. Not my government, and Winston's a statesman only when it suits Winston.

[@andrewhirshbach7097]

Enjoy your place in the ‘corporate entity’ of NZ, which Kiwis like to believe is a real sovereign democracy. It all works for them if you always remain obedient and compliant, otherwise then even a thought or doubt could be a very dangerous threat, to the entire matrix.

[@andrewhirshbach7097]

I noticed you referenced Hamas, good point. But have you read and evaluated the Hamas charter, easily found with google? If you do that you might realise that Winston’s dogmatic repetition of ‘western peace proposals’, are in reality western fantasy and no where near Islamic principles.

☮️🌈❤️🇳🇿🇮🇱🐝💕🐳🙏This is how we role here in New Zealand! A small country, colonised years ago, where strong adventurous pioneers took a huge gamble for a better life, now live along side our strong beautiful indigenous Māori warriors - an interstates society, not without its problems, but we have chosen to live as friends and work together and we prove it is possible to live in peace. War does not work and holds not positive outcomes. This man is a reflection of our humanity and our ability to speak freely, we understand what it is like to be at the bottom of the peaking order, the long lost poor cousin in the democratic family. Yet we are always there supporting our allies when it counts. (To add our men, in ww2 - had the greatest losses per capita of commonwealth countries!) we are a free, honest, humble, hard working, peaceful democratic nation in the middle of nowhere. Who minds its own business, we do not start these conflicts yet we are there to help when it matters, we don’t want our sons to be involved in a more slaughter, stop this bloody madness.

Correct. Winston Peters speaks on behalf of mature and country-loving New Zealanders (meaning the 83% that aren't chaotic socialist marxists) so yes - not all. And, via a trustworthy democratic election process, worked to gain fair proportionate representation in our parliament as well as being bestowed the honor of the Deputy responsibility - as his extensive political experience rightly affords him. Winston Peters is a great asset to New Zealand and a great statesman, and indeed his speech is reflective of the will of our one people - in both the aligned spheres of Māori and Pākehā. In times of international unrest and anxiety, our contribution to global affairs must have an experienced common-sense voice to confront and temper the provocative syndicates that leverage division and belligerent disruption.
