	New Zealand First - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		New Zealand First emerged as a political grouping in 1993, shortly before the that year's general election.
		Following the 2005 election, New Zealand First agreed to a supply and confidence agreement with the Labour Party (along with United Future) in return for policy concessions and the post of Foreign Minister for Winston Peters.
		Much of the New Zealand media criticised this move as a withdrawal from Peter's earlier position (outlined in his "Rotorua speech") that his party would sit on the crossbenches and thus stay out of government.
