Helen Clark and Winston Peters meet
Prime Minister Helen Clark said today that she and Michael Cullen had met with Winston Peters and his deputy Peter Brown this morning and that the meeting was very constructive.
"New Zealand First is a critical part of the arrangements that need to be put in place to ensure stability over the full three year term of this Parliament. Talks are continuing over whether an agreement which includes a positive confidence and supply vote can be achieved," Helen Clark said.
"New Zealand First has consistently taken the position that stability in government is its highest priority and we are exploring the best way for this to be achieved."
