Uncovering Government debt and culling pre-election talks of possible coalitions are high on Winston Peters' list heading into next week's general election.

In Red Square at lunchtime today the NZ First leader spoke to a crowd of about 200 people, 10 days out from the September 20 voting day.

And the rain and drizzle did little to quell supporters or curious passers-by drawn in by Winston's booming voice across the microphone as he enthusiastically set to task.

Among a sea of faithful grey tops, Peter outlined the party's policies, views on national issues and a promise of no coalition talks or agreements before the election.

'We intend to go into talks after the election on the basis of those things that the mass majority of New Zealand, whether it be immigration, foreign ownership, separatist policies and above all growth in our economy.

'We are going to go into our negotiations to get that.”

With people continuing to turn up to the public rally, Winston says the big 'unspoken issue” few parties are touching is the Government's major increase in national debt placing unnecessary pressure on the economy.

'Our government when they [National] went into power debt was $10 billion. It's now $60 billion and forecast to be up to $70 billion.

'As economists in Auckland said a few weeks ago; we are not a rock star economy, we are an economy that looks like it will hit the rocks and there will be no soft landing.”

Taking further aim at Prime Minister John Key, Winston says the National Party's talks of the country being on the 'cusp” of something special are shrouded in secrecy and need to be unveiled.

Many times throughout this campaign the Prime Minister and other MPs have touched on the country being in such a promising position – but nothing more.

'Why doesn't he tell us what the something great is? If you are on the cusp of something great surely they would want to share it.

'He should, and we should, share it with the country.”

And with the crowd hanging on his every word, Winston says people need to get to the polling booths on September 20 and vote – or else they will not be able to 'rock the boat”, taking a jibe at National's rowing television advertisement.
