The New Zealand First Leader's delivering his State of the Nation speech in Auckland this afternoon.
Peters is taking aim at Te Reo titles like Waka Kotahi and Te Whatu Ora -- claiming "elite virtue-signallers have hijacked the language for their own socialist means".
He asks why people are putting up with this, encouraging his supporters to "take back their country".
He says under New Zealand First, "woke" names of Government departments will be changed back to English.
