New Zealand has a new Government – and this means a new Minister for Foreign Affairs.

Winston Peters will take over from Nanaia Mahuta in a role that’s getting more complicated with every passing day. 

Trade wars, environmental devastation, and open military conflicts have returned to the globe on a level not seen in decades, to name just a few of the diplomatic tightropes that Peters will have to walk as he navigates this role. 

So is he still the right man for the job after all these years? And what does a change in Government mean for our role and reputation on the global stage? 

Today, NZ Herald editorial director and long-time columnist Fran O’Sullivan connects the dots between Aotearoa and the rest of the world.
