Winston Peters says he doesn't feel snubbed by being the National leader's last resort.
Chris Luxon today confirmed he would work with New Zealand First post-election if absolutely necessary- but reiterates his preference is a National-Act Government.
Peters says Luxon's been under media pressure to make a call and has taken the time to make the right decision.
He says he'd be happy to take Luxon's call post-election.
"I'm a courteous person, as you know. Of course I'll talk to people when they want to talk to me for the right reasons- and for the country's interests."
