Peters: Investigate SkyCity shares trade

Winston Peters says the Financial Markets Authority must investigate "a huge volume" in trading of SkyCity shares.

The New Zealand First leader was discussing the Government's contentious pokies and convention centre deal with SkyCity when he raised allegations of improper trading.

Mr Peters told Radio New Zealand there was a huge volume of trading last Friday, and not any other day.

He said Parliament was told the revised convention centre design was agreed between the Government and SkyCity last Friday.

"There was behaviour which was simply unacceptable," Mr Peters told Morning Report.

He said he was lodging a complaint with the Financial Markets Authority today.
