The Green Party supports the Labour Party’s call to bring back New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) Chief Executive Peter Chrisp in front of the select committee over his comments last week on the Saudi sheep agri-hub scandal.

“There seems to be some genuine confusion about funding by the NZTE board for the Saudi sheep agri-hub,” said Green Party spokesperson Gareth Hughes.

“In light of this, we support Labour’s call to bring back Peter Chrisp back in front of the select committee to answer more questions and clear up the confusion.”
