The Prime Minister has not raised any red flags with Winston Peters over his role in alleged covert filming of journalists, saying it is not a matter for her to be involved in.

Photos of journalists, including RNZ's Guyon Espiner, meeting with a former New Zealand First party president surfaced on a political blog last week.

Today National's Paula Bennett called for Jacinda Ardern to ask hard questions over who took them, and what the Deputy Prime Minister's involvement is.

Nita Blake-Persen has the details.
