35370 (2026). Vanushi Walters to the Minister of Foreign Affairs: To whom did the words “communist shills” refer in his social media post of 30 July 2026 which stated that “If that offends the pearl clutchers and the communist shills labelling it as ‘dangerous’ – welcome to New Zealand.”?

Rt Hon Winston Peters: The social media post was made as the Leader of the New Zealand First party. It was not posted from my Minister of Foreign Affairs social media account.
