Winston Peters' Facebook live short on answers

From Morning Report, 7:27 am on 13 February 2020

Winston Peters' promised tell-all on Facebook has failed to shed new light on the controversy surrounding the New Zealand First Foundation.

The secretive entity is facing a Serious Fraud Office inquiry - after the Electoral Commission ruled some donations it received were not properly declared.

The Deputy Prime Minister carried out the Facebook live chat during Parliament's dinner break last night - after earlier promising in a midnight tweet that he would reveal the truth.

RNZ deputy political editor Craig McCulloch compiled this report.
