Such a rubbish interview, the entire objective by the interviewer was not to extract the purpose of policies, but rather smear the person being interviewed

Im Maori and voting for NZ first

TVNZ should be completely ashamed with this interview. Absolutely disgusting how Mr Peters was treated. I will never watch TVNZ again, this was vile.

Man that was hard to watch. Winston if you don’t have the numbers off the top of your head, just say so. Why argue?

Jake Tame may as well just interview himself. Got all the answers...

This was a hit job by TVNZ to prevent WP from talking about the policies that are starting to energise the public into voting NZF. We see you Tame and TVNZ.!

Hard to listen to this. Jack Tame's arrogance and pompousness was an embarrassment! Disgraceful. No wonder why I no longer will watch MSM.

Jack Tame is an interrogator now??

Winston Peters and New Zealand First will bring desperately needed balance to government, that's why I'm voting NZ First!!

He wasn't lying when he said the media is corrupt, prime example with this coordinated attack . Go Winston

This interview was so rude , always cutting him off, and only asking something with the intention of trying to make him seem stupid … NZ media is so corrupt Winnie has that right , saw that during covid

Winston!!!! You’re bloody fantastic!!!!! ❤😂🎉

Jack sounded like an interrogator than an interview. Jacks unconscious labor bias surfaces many times. Poor interview tbh.

The audacity of the host here is immense, asking dishonest and manipulative questions, then not allowing an answer. Why does the host act as if he is authoritative? I'll smoke the kids jaw if he treated me thus

The fact that woke tvnz hate nzf so much is good reason to vote for them

I don't much like Winston but this has really exposed Jack Tame to New Zealanders.

Wow, what an unprofessional interview. Well done Winston.

Winston Peters is the man!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Just as bad was the first leader's debate (I didn't watch the others after) where Jessica honestly cut both Chris' off halfway through first sentence EVERY TIME. These interviewers don't understand that I'm not listening to hear their questions... they are getting paid to interviewe for me to hear the given ANSWERS.

the guy interviewing him is rude, maybe he should of shut up and let him talk

Embarrassing to see what our media have become in NZ. Jack Tame's childish attack on Winston shows just how desperate they are to destroy him.

Finally, a politician who stood up to Tame's cheap and shoddy "interviewing" tactics and showed him up as the vindictive lightweight he is. I'm not a NZFirst voter but Winston whipped Jack. Well done Winnie.

This was tough to watch. On one hand jack was asking direct questions that werent being answered. Clearly winston didnt have the answers on costs and details which was disappointing. On the other I wish he let him speak more and moved on sooner. Minor parties dont get enough air time and we heard very little of any substance in the end. Winston does have a lot of good points about the direction of this country and how to address but we heard none of it due to the constant interrupting and needling.

winston peters playbook: - refuse to fully answer the question - say that you're being disrespected when you're called out on it - say the interviewer is biased/that they don't know what they're talking about - keep refusing to answer the question until the interviewer moves on - claim victory wash, rinse, repeat. good on jack for pressing him on his bs.

Jack for Prime Minister. He knows everything……. everything other than to interview people respectfully so that viewers that are interested to listen to politicians to find out what they think.

Thanks Winston for supporting aged care health workers. We are understaffed, overworked & underpaid & it's about time we give more respect to the aged care industry. Got my vote!!!

I've usually been a fan of Jack Tame, but this was a terrible interview. It was clear that he came prepared to specifically throw shade on Winston. Half of his questions weren't about policy but about past incidents. Even the policy questions were poorly constructed. - Nobody knows how many inmates are involved in gangs. That number would be constantly changing. He could have asked for a ballpark answer, but his exact number would be terribly inaccurate. Plus there are lots of levels. Are you heavily involved, not so much, just in it to survive? It's a terrible question. To estimate the costs would also be tough, because things are constantly changing. How many government projects do we have that say a budget of 10m then it blows out to 40million. - Aged care question was also silly. As Winston said, the number of people who can enter aged care relies heavily on the amount of workers available. His goal is to help get more workers which will then open up spots for people to get care. - His point about the co-governance quote using the word 'you', umm can someone tell Jack Tame what personification is...SMH NZF is hoping to be a coalition partner. They don't get to decide the exact levels of what they want to spend tax money on, but what they can do is say these are our policies and we will negotiate on how much money we need to help these policies. Jack was super aggressive and it was unnecessary. I'm surprised Winston didn't walk out.

I usually like Jack Tame but this was an absolutely terrible interview.

He needs to let WP answer fully and also not stir up old rubbish,unless you leg them answer fully.

Jack this combat style has to be spread equally across all the parties otherwise I am sure to raise a eyebrow.

Jacinda Ardern and 1 or 2 others slipped He Puapua through quietly a few days before the election no one knew about

Hey Jack, how much did the big end of town benefit from the public interest journalism fund? Do you have any conflicts of interest?

I'm not a Winston supporter, but even a blind man could see how dishonest / disingenuous Jack Tanes questions were during this interview - That was simply a bunch of "Got Yah" questions that any professional journalist wouldn't be asking as the second the context was added Jacks question showed a clear bias against Peters and his party. I'm voting ACT so again I'm not an NZ First supporter and even I can see how biased NZ Legacy Media is towards New Zealand First, especially Jack Tane towards Winston Peters, that was disgraceful journalisum !

Jack Tame. Embarrassing! We want to hear Peters thoughts, not Tames voice. Almost as bad as that horrible Tova o brien

Love him or hate him Winston is back for a good reason. Nzers are tired of both Labour and National. If anyone really thinks National won't carry on the same way as Labour if they win then they are in for a shock.That's why its important Winston/NZF are in a coalition with Nats/Act if they win. He will stop Luxon moving to the left.

Go Winnie 👍Legend

haha "if you would calm down for a second, take a Valium" that's gold :)

Go WP cant wait until TVNZ is restructured

Such a disrespectful and vexatious interview. I wanted to get answers not to hear the sound of Tame's voice fancying himself a "tough" interviewer. Instead of getting answers he just antagonised Peters who was not allowed to get a word in edgeways and so we are none the wiser. It is irrelevant whether people watching this car wreck of an interview supported or did not support NZF. What mattered was that we watched this to find out more but instead we heard Tame acting as accuser and executioner. . That did not serve the audience, it was as Peters said, a total waste of everybody's time. .

Jack your bias is insulting to all those journalist who are true to their profession... when you ask a question allow answers and don't just answer your own questions and push your own viewpoints ... at the end of the interview we come away knowing only Jack's viewpoint. Roll on the day when we rid ourselves of government paid media... and get back to some true and non bias journalism so the people can then learn, be informed and make up their own minds.... so sick of Labour's paid media that push Labour propaganda and think it is their right to force their views on the public! Can't wait for the day when we say goodbye Jack and get back to some true journalism informing the people without bias for them to make up their own minds.

The more the media take $50 Million taxpayers money from Labour and the more they spread Labour's propaganda the more I want to vote for Winston :) No one voted for Te Hua Hua or whatever it's called and no one voted for co-governance. I will vote for anyone that gets rid of it once and for all. Democracy requires that everyone is given equal rights and equal opportunities.

Very disappointing how Jack Tame kept interrupting him and not letting Winston finish. Shame on the so-called 'journalists' these days who clearly already have an agenda instead of being non-partisan!

Winnie for PM! Hope he adds defunding TVNZ to his policies!

I’m no major fan of Winston but having looked at a range of his interviews with the others Tame is far more aggressive in this interview

Hope Winston gets that portfolio 😅

Peter Williams is a professional journalist, Jack was terrible Journalist, his intentions was to dig up dirt and be vindictive, he even kept talking over Winston when he was making his point and didn't listen to him.

State funded TV has an agenda. A petty little interview. This is a horrendous watch. Winston was treated with contempt. It appeared as if Jack just wanted to score little points. Rather, as an undecided voter I would have preferred civility and a deeper discussion on the issues rather than a systematic point scoring petty interview. Ryan on the Breakfast show asks hard questions but manages to engage in conversations that tend to be helpful and enlightening.

Ehh I'm no fan of Winston at all, but I can't help but think an interviewer should not show any bias. It was very obvious from minute one Jack had a game plan. I get where he's coming from for sure, and there's nothing wrong with pushing for answers at times, but eh. That being said, you did show how some policies do not seem to be very thought out. That was very good and appreciated. I dunno. I just wish interviews would be done in a way where the viewer gets to form an opinion on someone with all angles shown, instead of being fed information gathered in such a calculated way. Ask some questions like you did, but let the guy finish, chuck in a few as to who their party are etc. Going attack after attack after attack leads to poor discussion

Wish Tame would have similar pointed questions for the other small parties. Seems like he is trying to prove himself to someone.

I'm actually really disappointed in the lack of objectivity shown by the interviewer here. Also quite a different approach to Mr Shaw's subsequent interview. If you are going to grill them Jack, please grill them all the same. You leave yourself open to legitimate objections of bias.

THE FACT That NZTV PAID by the labour Government is trying to do an obvious "HITJOB" AGAIN.... on Winston makes me want to vote for him....What The Media doesn't want ...is probably we we need

Jack likes to hear his own voice. He never listens.

Vote for Winston

I think this guy is a terrible interviewer I’ve watched him with many politicians. Not impressed. They can’t get there answers out

The World Health Organisation Pandemic Treaty, to which NZ is a party, will come in to force in May 2024. That treaty cedes much of our sovereignty to the WHO and allows them exclusively to make decisions about when a pandemic exists. At their direction, it will be legally enforceable that NZ must force vaccinations, mandates and all other forms of response including lockdowns, masks etc. Not one of the political parties is trying to stop this or withdraw us from this Treaty. We're done for. Dr John Campbell discusses this well in a you tube clip called WHO pandemic Treaty Danger. Well worth watching!

I'm not a fan or NZ First of Winston but I give it to the man for putting Jack Tame in his place!

jack, your asking question that have open ended answers, prison depends on the amount who get prison sentences, aged health care has levels from a weekly heath visits, to at home end of life care which is 24/7 care, at the moment im full time caring for a relative and they have, a cleaning service, a hospice nurse visit 3x a week, a health care visit once a day for washes etc, i can say first handed their staffing issues are very sad at least 3x a week the carers aren't here because of staffing issues, ,the cleaning service about once a month skip for the same reason, things need changing. with this interview you style shows your dislike to NZ1st, you are suppose to be impartial.

Is this an intervew or interrogation? From the beginning of this WP is being pushed into a corner. The public don't care about what it costs they care about the philosophy or high level direction. The questions were not thought through and constant interjections are tiresome slanted to attack. Winston should have walked off the set.

So emotional and defensive

Jack needs to understand more about the people he's interviewing if he wants to be effective in his job and get the most out of the interview.

Jack Tame is very full of himself I prefer Ryan from AM show

JACK TAME IS BRILLIANT... COURAGEOUS... DETERMINED... KNOWLEDGEABLE AND WELL-INFORMED... THANK YOU, JACK TAME, FOR KEEPING US, THE PEOPLE, INFORMED...

You'd never get that level of scrutiny when a labour minister is under the pump like that. Go Winston.

The people of NZ are to decide! Not media

They are doing that now, prisoners have been building small homes and prefabs

What an upstart Jack is.

come on Jack, don't be so rude and wait for a Winston to finish his answer - very poor and makes you look like a bully

Winston is simply the best. Jack is on backhanders from Labour. Its obvious in the questions he ask. Blackouts on tv would help.

very insulting cheap interview. Mr. Winston Peters was so polite not to withdraw from this crap barking interviwer.

Wonder if he’ll ask Shaw lots of probing questions about why he lied about his CV?

What a disgusting interview by Jack Tame with his arrogant approach and as he thought 'gotcha' questions not allowing Winston Peters to answer, cutting him off and then making up figures on hypothetical percentages. The public appreciate hearing from interviewees, and Jack your not the star of the show the interviewee is. Coming up against Winston Peters showed Jack up for the absolute petty and immature naivety that he exhibited. Peter Williams is a pro and interviewed Winston Peters and it was a great interview, watch and learn Jack!

Almost decided to vote for this guy;As I don't like both the parties this time. The best way to punish is to make them deal with this guy 🤣

Disrespectful Jack Tame again, TVNZ must have scratched the bottom of the barrel for him.

A prison the size of Springhill prison would cost 400 million to build these days. So 1 think 1.2 billion might cover it. Beds cost 151k per prisoner per year so thats an annual cost of 453 million per year to house these gang members separately.

I could not perservere watching this. Minor parties will not have everything costed. He could have been given a chance to express his policies. We are so close to the elections, Jack could have prioritised listeners and let us actually hear Winston Peters speak.

It’s more about Jack than Winston that’s why people turn you off

Winston Peters the only political leader that represents working-class New Zealanders.

It seems we've gone from pixie dust to bull dust in space of one election cycle.

"Hello, It's Jack from TVNZ. Can you send someone to take Winston back to the dementia unit? He can't remember where he left his mobility sccoter. He's nearly 80 and he's getting a bit old for this sort of thing. He couldn't even understand my questions, let alone answer them! Thanks. Bye."

Prisons are an industry. The prison industry has been privatized. Privatizing the prison industry means investors and corporations are involved, which means they can buy land and build Jails. This means every prisoner here in NZ is stock on the shelf. These investors don't want the stock to leave the shelf but want it to be replenished daily. They don't want crime to decrease but build their hopes on crime-centred communities. They only care about their profit. They are a cooperation based on profit. Their goal is to profit from crime. The prisoner is the tenant, and the Govt pays their rent. They don't want to decrease crime, increase family values, or strengthen the family with stable two-parent homes. This idea, this ancient value based on sound principles of healthy whanau, is the greatest threat to crime and prison growth. These corporations want our fathers, mothers, children, and grandchildren to feed their needs for long-term profit. Every Govt has a way to deal with crime: That is to feed our children into the cells of cooperative depravity. No one is talking about saving the whanau. Instead, the Govt wants to kill our babies through passing laws to kill them in the womb. The whanu is being destroyed by legislation, and as long as the government keeps it there, crime will always be big business. Revering this is easy, but wanting to do it is impossible.

The Govt pays and tells Jack what to say.

how about give prisoners skills to build us houses.nevermind building prisons...

TVNZ, having a competent respectful interviewer would have been appreciated. Jack made this so painful! Don’t think I’ll tune into one of his interviews again 🤯

winston is right let crims work gain skills and contribute heaps do nothing in there except knock eachother over or learn more crime or try to get one over the screws keep crims busy

DEFinitely voting NZ First! Good on you Prime Minister Peters! 😍😍😈😈

For this interview reason i am going to vote nz first

It's not like this is a well designed attack to undermine Winston Peters at all. To make sure he stays off balance and unable to adequately defend himself or present his campaign. Of course not. The constant digs Breakfast are taking at Winston Peters is a complete coincidence, I'm sure. /endSarcasm. Jenny May also needs to be pulled up for it's conduct.

what will they do with all the empty prisons if they move the gang members out?? - maybe gang members could be housed on an island prison - Mana would be perfect...

The "interviewer" does not acknowledge the obvious merits of the rehabilitive and anti coercive recruitment aspects of the proposal but tries to invoke a spurious fiscal bogeyman argument.

Nasty interview, interesting to see if he gives Labour that treatment?

I don't think these are the Comments Jack was hoping for 😂😂😂 Hes reposted again & turned comments off 🤨🤔😵‍💫🤣🤣🤣

cost half that prison amount to give people jobs

Jack you're Fired hahaha

Jack please give people time to answer and then maybe LISTEN you just want to push your own perspective. JOURNALISTS YOU ASK THE QUESTIONS, PLEASE LISTEN TO THE ANSWERS

These interviews are so painful to watch, I genuinely am not sure who I’m voting for this year, and not a single interviewer has helped me at all. I understand they’ve got to try get straight answers out of politicians but they’re just attacking anyone they don’t like and they’re all totally biased. Would love to watch some interviews from a truly neutral POV (as media should be when it comes to politics). It’s a shambles no wonder people end up not voting at all.

He would never question his labour mtes like that.

We are desparate for competent people in the press. We are afflicted with opinionated members of the press ,TV and radio. Reporting of the facts is a thing of the past.....sad

the answer is simple, make a deal with Thailand, pay them to house N.Z. prisoners in their jails, they wouldn't want to go back.

Coming from someone who answers questions straight, its quite impressive listening to someone who pathologically doesn't.
