Cheers came from the audience as Mr Peters touched on topical issues - from water bottling, reopening the Wairoa-Gisborne rail, to boosting police numbers.
One policy would see the introduction of 1800 new front-line police officers "as fast as training permits".
"When last in Government we gave police, in 3 years, 1000 more front-line police," he said. "We understand New Zealanders should go to bed knowing their homes, streets and businesses are safe. Under this Government that is not happening."
While this would have a major impact, it would not solve the crime issues in provincial areas. So, the party would create and trial Rural Police Support.
Similar to the rural volunteer fire service, those involved would come from "all walks of life", and would meet the recruitment requirements as set by the NZ Police.
"At no time will they replace full-time police - but they will act in a supportive capacity," he said.
The party had also developed a "Royalties for Regions" policy, under which 25 per cent of royalties collected by the Government from enterprises such as mining, extraction, and petroleum would stay in the region of origin.
"As an example, the Government collects over $400 million in royalties. Under our scheme over $100 million, year on year, would remain in the regions for investment.
"That money would help to regenerate regional New Zealand."
Mr Peters also spoke of how his party would restore equality between Auckland and the regions, especially when it came to transport spending.
While the party backed better transport it had to be for all New Zealanders - insisting for every dollar spent on major new transport projects in cities like Auckland, a comparative spend must be made on projects in provincial New Zealand.
Other policies discussed included the party shifting Government departments into provincial centres, stopping the sale of land to people who are not New Zealanders, and boosting funding for regional roads and rail.
"We would ensure key export industry sectors remain in New Zealand hands," he said. "We would turn the tap of immigration way down and require many of them to live in the regions for a number of years before going to the big cities."
