About this listen

New Zealand First Leader Winston Peters says the new Free Trade Agreement with India is rushed.

It reduces or removes 95 percent of export tariffs, offers targeted temporary work visas - and gets preferential treatment for our apples and manuka honey.

I comes after nine months of negotiations.

Peters says it gives India too many concessions on immigration and investment, and does little for this country's dairy sector.

Winston Peters told Andrew Dickens not enough time was given for engagement, because of the time frame set by the Prime Minister.
