    Peters is very good at seeking publicity, which makes him quite a good electorate MP - if he had been invited by the school to see the

    From the article:

    "The NZ First leader had accused the Ministry of Education and the
    Government of interfering to stop him from sharing a school bus with
    some children in his Northland electorate.

    Peters was set to take the ride as part of a visit to Mangakahia Area
    School on Thursday, after parents invited him to hear about their
    campaign against the health effects of dust from unsealed roads.

    However, he said he was forced to change his plans after a
    "last-minute" intervention from the Ministry of Education – which he
    suggested was spurred by the Government.

    So what is the health and safety issue? Do you think the Ministry were concerned about the health of Winston?

    You are correct - a National MP would of course not go on a school bus
    to experience the effects of dust. Besides its not their electorate,
    so why care? But I bet they would love to have the sort of publicity
    Winston generates for himself . . .

    So far no denial from the Ministry that Peters was stopped . . with
    National's attitude to OIA requests we may never know about
    invovlement from the Minister, but they will be careful not to deny it
    if there was contact - leaks do happen . . .

    By the way, have they built the bridges Simon Bridges promised?

    Really? Winston seeking attention will grab at anything to hand.
    Being an electorate MP gives him a few things to grab at. However be
    not confused: this is all about Winston getting attention and the
    electorate is merely a means to an end.

    there is no proof to back up either Winnie or your fairy tale. Even an OIA won't provide you with evidence because it never happened.

    Of course he is, and he is very good at it. Its hard to see why he was
    given the opportunity for extra publicity on this occasion though:

    "Peters was set to take the ride as part of a visit to Mangakahia Area
    School on Thursday, after parents invited him to hear about their
    campaign against the health effects of dust from unsealed roads.

    However, he said he was forced to change his plans after a

    Not according to this: http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/76788034/nz-first-leader-winston-peters-blocked-from-bus-ride-due-to-health-and-safety

    Note the comment that the bus operator contract for service excluded
    ineligible adults without education department approval so what Peters attempted was out of order.

    Of course there is dust with unsealed roads, but many many roads have
    been sealed over the last 50 years - with most settements now being
    sealed, an many well used coutry roads being sealed for tourism and
    safety reasons - it is far cheaper and has a better return than some
    of the National has built with very low return on investment. But
    Peters will leap at hte chance for publicity, - can you blame the
    people that elected him for taking advantage of that?

    Yes. They now discover that Peters will make fools of the locals to
    get media attention. It is conceivable that Peters knew he would
    never have to suffer with the children on the bus.

    - if he had been invited by the school to see the
    problem for himself, what problemnms do you see with him wanting to
    see for himself? If this had been a National Party electorate MP would >>>you have been so condemning?

    There is no other MP who can match Winston for grandstanding. If all
    had gone smoothly Winston would have been totally pissed off with the >>muffed opportunity lost.

    Anyone remember what Winston said he was trying to achieve?
    I have been amazed that peters has not made more of a fuss over the
    "bridges" promise, but sealed roads is a rasonable thing for him to go
    for - after all it is what his electorate was asking him to look into!

    This is because he sees no attention-seeking mileage in this at
    present.

    What is amazing is that National must know that Winston will not last >forever, but they do not seem to want to regain the seat - it appears
    that they cannot fin anyone to stand . . .

    Why waste resources trying to defeat an upcoming retiree?

    Of course there is dust with unsealed roads, but many many roads have
    been sealed over the last 50 years - with most settements now being
    sealed, an many well used coutry roads being sealed for tourism and
    safety reasons - it is far cheaper and has a better return than some
    of the National has built with very low return on investment. But
    Peters will leap at hte chance for publicity, - can you blame the
    people that elected him for taking advantage of that?

    - if he had been invited by the school to see the
    problem for himself, what problemnms do you see with him wanting to
    see for himself? If this had been a National Party electorate MP would
    you have been so condemning?

    There is no other MP who can match Winston for grandstanding. If all
    had gone smoothly Winston would have been totally pissed off with the
    muffed opportunity lost.

    Anyone remember what Winston said he was trying to achieve?
    I have been amazed that peters has not made more of a fuss over the
    "bridges" promise, but sealed roads is a rasonable thing for him to go
    for - after all it is what his electorate was asking him to look into!

    What is amazing is that National must know that Winston will not last
    forever, but they do not seem to want to regain the seat - it appears
    that they cannot fin anyone to stand . . .

    Peters is very good at seeking publicity, which makes him quite a good >electorate MP - if he had been invited by the school to see the
    problem for himself, what problemnms do you see with him wanting to
    see for himself? If this had been a National Party electorate MP would
    you have been so condemning?
    Bloody nonsense. Firstly I couldn't care less what party he is in and once more you make the wrong assumption about my political viewpoint (buit it suits you to do that).
    He was refused entry because of safety rules and he failed to ask prior persmission (which I am sure would have been forthcoming). He was not invited to climb onto the bus and wuite rightly.

    Transporting fermented beverages in school buses is a no no.
    In any sort of container

    Especially in large containers that may be prone to leaking.

    Of course he expects to be noticed. He is a politician. He is ego
    driven. He is looking for publicity. If he had not expected to be
    noticed, he would have found something else to do which would be noticed.

    Arrogant prick!

    But not in the way you suggest, expecting not to be noticed.

    Subject: What a stupid man he is!

    He has succeeded in getting the publicity he wants. Do not be mistaken
    about his goal.

    Try reading the orignal article - it gives the clue you may be looking
    for . . .

    http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/76788034/nz-first-leader-winston-peters-blocked-from-bus-ride-due-to-health-and-safety

    No Rich. The REAL reason. Which more than likely was to get tossed off the
    bus by the operator rather than as Peters lied , the government Rich. But
    then you keep up your conspiracy theory and we'll stick with the dumbo Rich making shit up again theory.

    You have used a different interpretation of the word "notice" to the one I intended. My word means he did not give notice of his wish to travel on the bus to those who organise the transport. Isn't English a wonderful language?

    Arrogant prick!

    See above!

    I have never been mistaken about his goals.
