ACT leader Rodney Hide said today it was absurd for Winston Peters to think he can collect the "baubles of office" and
yet sit with the opposition in parliament.
"Winston was given the choice of supporting a National-led government. He chose Labour. He's made his bed - he now must
lie in it.
"I have told Margaret Wilson that it is totally inappropriate for Winston Peters to have a bob each way, sitting in
opposition, while a Minister propping up the Labour government.
"I can understand why Winston hates being photographed and being sat amongst the Labour Cabinet. But that's the choice
he made for the country. He now has to live with it.
