I'd like to think that a requirement to become Minister of Foreign Affairs would be "don't be openly racist", but clearly I am just a simpleton, not ready for the intricacies of international diplomacy.

'Peters then called critics - including China’s ambassador - “pearl clutchers” and “communist shills”.' Just the sort of thing you'd expect from a serious Foreign Affairs Minister: Well, thankfully Luxon has come out and forcefully expressed he will continue to do nothing about the racist behaviour of NZ First. 🙄 Winston Peters stands defiant, and unpunished, amid fury over 'go back to your own country' jibe https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361013356/chinas-ambassador-not-impressed-winston-peters-insulting-chinese-kiwi-mp #NZPol #NewZealandIsRacistAF
