A Muslim community leader is calling on Winston Peters to take a good look at himself, after sharing inaccurate information about the Christchurch terror attacks.

On the social media platform X last night - the New Zealand First leader accused Dame Jacinda Ardern of "an appalling lack of transparency".

A timeline of what the government knew was widely reported at the time and addressed by Dame Jacinda herself the day after the attacks.

RNZ has approached Peters for comment.

Federation of Islamic Associations spokesperson Abdur Razzaq spoke to Charlie Dreaver.
