Chris Luxon is firing back at Winston Peters over his latest comments about immigration.

The New Zealand First Leader has been accusing his Coalition partners National and Act of being too slow on immigration.

The Prime Minister and National Leader says he feels like there's a bit of anti-immigration cos-playing going on, whereby some politicians pretend to be Donald Trump, Nigel Farage or Marine Le Pen.

He told Mike Hosking that the remarks by Peters are an example of that.

Luxon says New Zealand doesn't have uncontrolled immigration, while the US has 13 to 14 million illegal immigrants.

The New Zealand First leader says they'll be telling the National Australia Bank we want our bank back - as he lays out plans for the Government to buy BNZ.

The party will campaign on the purchase - after its sale in 1992 - and merging it with Kiwibank to create a National Bank of New Zealand. 

Winston Peters told Mike Hosking that the bank may not be for sale, but they'll make sure it is.

He says he doubts the National Australia Bank would turn them down - so Kiwis won't be ripped off for much longer if NZ First gets back in.
