    Winston Peters (NZ First leader) is a total alcohol, tobacco, and racing (horse, greyhound, whatever) industry shill. I doubt he exactly needed to be bought, but this is certainly part of his price for being part of the coalition government.

    ACT (secular libertarian free market folk) probably mildly supported it, and National (general centre right; largest party) is probably much the same.
