Election 2023 Winston Peters is on the brink of parliamentary history if re-elected, becoming one of the oldest leaders ever and primed to surpass great names of NZ politics. Tim Murphy reports. New Zealand First leader Winston Peters joked at a public meeting of mainly older people that, unlike his questioner, "I don't act my age." The man in a wheelchair had asked when the politician might retire, and the veteran former MP wasn't getting into any suggestions of failing capability or diminished political energy or mobility.
