Winston Peters insists that New Zealand First and the Green Party can look beyond their differences to make the incoming Government work to "ensure that the greatest advantage and the least damage will happen to the New Zealand people".
Speaking exclusively to Newstalk ZB this morning, Peters again warned of a social and economic downturn that the new Government, expected to be sworn-in on Thursday, will have to tackle.
"When you look at the circumstances, economically and socially, that we are entering this agreement in, there are obvious concerns which we all share.
"But the point is, it was a decision made to ensure that the greatest advantage and the least damage will happen to the New Zealand people."
The policy details of the Labour-NZF agreement and the Labour-Green agreement are expected to be signed and released today.
