About this episode
After a three-year absence from the halls of power, NZ First leader Winston Peters is set to make a grand return.
As the country awaits the final vote tally, it is widely expected the traditionally left-leaning special votes will see National and Act require the support of Peters to form a majority government.
So what motivates Peters? How does he want from the negotiations? And how far will Luxon bend to his will?
Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald senior political correspondent Audrey Young shares her experience of ultimate comeback kid Winston Peters.
