Silver Fern Farms Chairman Rob Hewett isn't fazed by Winston Peters' rhetoric.

Silver Fern Farms Chairman Rob Hewett isn't fazed by Winston Peters' rhetoric.

Winston Peters has had a go at Rob Hewett today over the Shanghai Maling deal so in the spirit of fairness Jamie Mackay is giving the Silver Fern Farms Chairman a chance to respond.

Hewett deftly bats away Peters' claims around OIO approval and inadequate finances at Shanghai Maling.

He also manages to answer Jamie's awkward and prying money questions.

Winston's in electioneering mode

Rob Hewett

However the biggest question remains - will Rob Hewett take up Winston Peters' challenge for a debate in the Gore Town Hall?
