New Zealand First leader Winston Peters has accused former Prime Minister Dame Jacinda Ardern of “an appalling lack of transparency” over what she knew about the 15 March terror attacks before they happened.<\/p>\n

However , a spokesperson for the prime minister’s office said the tweet from Peters was “clearly inaccurate”. A timeline of what Ardern knew – and when – was reported widely at the time, and also addressed at\u00a0a press conference the day after the attacks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday evening, Peters said: “We waited until today to find out, for the first time, that the Prime Minister’s Office received information about the March 15 terrorist attack before the massacre took place.<\/p>\n

“Jacinda Ardern should be called to the hearing and asked to explain this appalling lack of transparency to the New Zealand public – let alone to the Deputy Prime Minister and government coalition partner.”<\/p>\n

Peters, who was deputy prime minister at the time of the attacks, said keeping “this basic information” hidden was unacceptable.<\/p>\n
