Peters’ big black shopping trolley – Winston Peters’ big, black ministerial four-wheel-drive was meant to get him around the country to do his job better. But on Friday morning – nearly three months after he was ousted from Parliament – it was proving a rather useful… [NZ Herald Politics]
As is usual now for the MSM they do not credit a blog with scooping them with the story. Rebecca Milne, the fat-arsed reporter, must be an avid reader of this blog because she sent photographers round to Winston’s place after this blog had already photographed the car over several days and published the address. You would think she would have had the courtesy to at least shout me for lunch.
The Sunday-Star Times also covers the non-return of the bauble-mobile but missed that it got picked up on Friday.
Time from this blog asking why he hadn’t returned it to the car being picked up – 6 days. Photos on Thursday, car picked up Friday. Just what on earth are the fools at Minsterial Services doing that an unpaid blogger can beat them to the car in just 4 days when they have taken more than 3 months?
Both papers, however, let Ministerial Services and Winston Raymond Peters, 63, Unemployed of no fixed abode off the hook because of their indolence. Why weren’t these questions asked and answered;
- What date did Winston Pters make the alleged arrangements to purchase the vehicle?
- What date/s was he asked to hand back the vehicle?
- How many times was he communicated with about the vehicle and what manner of communication?
- What charges, if any, have been made on the fuel card between the following dates? 9 Nov 2008 – 30 No 2008, 1 Dec 2008 – 31 Dec 2008 and 1 Jan 2009 – 31 Jan 2009.
- When will WRP, 63, UONFA be invoiced for the fuel?
- Did WRP, 63, UONFA use the vehicle on his recent trip to Tauranga to wind up his campaign committee at the final meeting?
Since we can’t rely on the MSM to ask the questions, then this blog will do so and via an OIA request.
