Question

  • Does he consider the standard it applied to Kiribati's level of representation at the 2026 Pacific Islands Forum leaders' meeting to apply equally to New Zealand's own level of representation at the formal leaders' meeting on 2 September 2026?

Answer

It is unclear what "it" refers to in this question. If "it" refers to Minister Peters, then no - because New Zealand and Kiribati had completely different levels of representation at the Pacific Islands Forum Leaders' Meeting.
