Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. Photo: RNZNational is putting pressure on the Prime Minister to pull her deputy, Winston Peters, into line after he initially admitted to having photos taken of journalists investigating the NZ First Foundation. Peters initially admitted to having photos – which were posted to Whale Oil-linked blog BFD – taken, telling Magic Talk: "We took the photos." She said Ardern said just the other day that she trusted Winston Peters – "well, we need to hear that again". "She is the Prime Minister, this is her Deputy Prime Minister, she has to step in and tell us what kind of politics she will accept."
