The Foreign Minister-outside-Cabinet gave a speech today at Orewa. Among his topics: telling Fijian PM Commodore Frank Bainimarama that he should resign.
   What happened to the Winston Peters who said he could not interfere in another nation’s sovereignty? After all, New Zealander Bruce Robinson is stuck in a Polish jail, and that was Mr Peters’ policy.
   Answer: the Poles are harder to bully than Cdre Bainimarama.
   The Hon Mr Peters is not really a flip-flopper. No, his strategy is clear: pick easy targets and ride out three years.
   Mr Peters also referred to anti-American elements that prevent a good relationship with the US.
   Given how he scuttled the meeting with Sen. John McCain of Arizona, do you think it’s him?
   With these politicians, merging our economy with the Australians’ doesn’t look like a bad idea. Posted by Jack Yan, 09:42  permalink
