An incoherent and word slurring Winston Peters tonight phoned up Radio Live to abuse Matthew Hooton. We have just listened to the replay. It is most interesting listening.
As readers know, we have been concerned for some time about Winston's health. We noted again last night on One News that he was having to wipe a huge amount of sweat from his brow. And tonight he fails to front at the one of the most important debates in the election campaign. Why not? Could he be more unwell than we realised? What else could explain the incoherence and the word slurring?
