The British band behind a song Winston Peters likes to play at rallies and quote in his speeches have told him to knock it off.
Chumbawamba have reportedly issued Peters a cease-and-desist notice after he used their song 'Tubthumping' ahead of a speech he delivered at the weekend in Palmerston North.
The band told The Spinoffthey did not authorise Peters' use of the song, and had asked their record label to intervene.
Peters says he has not been asked to stop playing the song.
Meanwhile, the new Green's co-leader asked Prime Minister Christopher Luxon if he will resign if any children are made homeless as a result of the government's Kāinga Ora policies.
On Monday it was announced the government is demanding Kāinga Ora take a tougher stance on unruly social housing tenants, saying the agency needs to make "timely usage" of formal warning notices and relocations under the Residential Tenancies Act, and to "accelerate the process of tenancy termination" in severe and persistent cases.
In response, Luxon said he did not want to see any Kāinga Ora tenants evicted but the parents of children in state housing were adults and had a choice to make about if they wanted to meet their obligations and responsibilities.
