Marcus Beveridge: Queen City Law Managing Director on Winston Peters' criticism of the India FTA - Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

Foreign Minister Winston Peters' politicking around the India free trade agreement is nothing new.  

There's been weeks of back and forth within the coalition about the contents of the deal, which still hasn't been publicly released.  

Peters has spoken out about the deal prohibiting a specific cap on Indian student visas. 

Queen City Law managing director Marcus Beveridge told Ryan Bridge Peters made similar criticisms about 20 years ago, but was shut down by Helen Clark. 

He says Todd McClay and Christopher Luxon have been a bit more feeble and weak on this one, so Peters has more mileage.  

Beveridge says we don't cap any foreign students, so the whole thing is a bit of a red herring.
