A member of the Indian Business Association, who did not want to be named, told RNZ about an incident at his Auckland petrol station, in which he tried to stop a customer driving away without paying.

He had opened the passenger side door and was confronted with a gun, he said.

"He just pointed the gun toward me, and that was a shotgun," he said.

"He said 'f*** off', so I immediately hands up, and just left the car, let him go."

Peters’ speech, covering New Zealand First’s policy on overseas investment and taking jabs at Labour, had already been interrupted by a small group, shouting “free Palestine” and questioning Peters’ foreign policy in the Middle East. They were removed from the conference.

They said they were from the “bureau of concerned citizens”, believing a “genocide is occurring”.

Then, as Peters left, more people began shouting at Peters, then clashing with attendees. Multiple people were pushed up against hallway walls.
