'Peters believes he runs the roost' - Simon Bridges

From Morning Report, 7:37 am on 17 September 2018

Over the weekend, the coalition government presented its 'blueprint' to demonstrate unity following open disagreements between New Zealand First and Labour on policies including the refugee quota and employment law changes. National says the move is little more than a photo-op, which failed to paper over the 'cracks' in the coalition. And the party leader Simon Bridges says it does nothing to dispel the idea that Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters is the one who wields real power. But Mr Peters was forthright in his praise of Jacinda Ardern when we spoke to him earlier. Opposition leader Simon Bridges joins Susie Ferguson with his response.
