Of course it's Winston Peters. Someone needs to get that dinosaur out of politics.

I know Hipkins isn't a super popular Labour leader, but at least he's trying to be in touch with the general public and not a complete moron.

New Zealand opposition leader Chris Hipkins told Stuff news that the gender bill was “typical populist politics” and that at a time when New Zealanders are struggling with the cost of living, job losses and a health system in crisis, this was not a priority.
