Peters criticises India trade deal as Parliament reviews it

Winston Peters, Foreign Affairs minister and New Zealand First leader, has called the India free trade agreement "neither free nor fair" as Parliament's select committee examines its terms. The criticism from a coalition partner is unusual timing, with Indian Prime Minister Modi visiting for talks with Prime Minister Luxon. Peters hasn't detailed his concerns, but the move opens the door for Labour and opposition parties to scrutinise the tariff schedule beyond the visit's headlines.
