On February 19, 2026, the @NZParliament account—overseen by Clerk David Wilson—posted its final update, directing followers to Facebook or parliament.nz for news on oral questions and Royal Assent.

New Zealand Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters sharply rebuked his coalition partners on Monday for proposing state asset sales to tackle rising unemployment at 4.7%, record business insolvencies, and government debt at 42% of GDP. Peters advocated building value in state assets to drive growth and jobs, citing Singapore's model, while Prime Minister Christopher Luxon minimized the disagreement, focusing on spending cuts and tax relief in the 2025 Budget. Opposition leaders like Labour's Chris Hipkins and the Greens' Chlöe Swarbrick echoed concerns about privatization risks amid slow GDP growth of 0.2%.

Key Takeaway

In a fiery RNZ interview, Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters slammed his own government's asset sale push as a 'tawdry, silly argument'—a desperate bid to fix an economy reeling from 4.7% unemployment and soaring debt.
