PM's speeding motorcade.

**Skyryder** · 25th January 2006, 08:47

Researching for an article. Does anyone have a ballpark date when the media reported this. I'm wanting to find the Ministerial quote that was made about 'feeling safe' at 170+kph. I think it was Jim Sutton or the Prime Minister.

Secondly after the conviction there was reported in the CHCH Press a Judge advocating that the convicted should appeal their conviction. I'm off into the library as soon as I've got a pair of crutches but need a ballpark date to search from.

Scumdog in another thread asked for the verbatim comment about the 330kph bike. Anyone got any ideas on how to get this?

Go to the police web site,

police.govt.nz

You can search the news area, you should be able to find the date of the first reports that way.

Yes and I'm going to blame the Worlds Fastest Indian. That Bert Munroe's got nothing on me. I want to be a legend.

The PM's motorcade was 17 July 2004 -- the same day as the Bledisloe Cup test between NZ and Australia in Wellington.

The All Blacks won, 17-6. The referee was Alain Rolland of Ireland.

Helen also gave John a hand-job under the rugby program

I don't remember that quote but I can recall Helen Clarke saying she felt completely safe. I tried Google for you but nothing specific came up.

Newspapers have clippings libraries and could find it for you. I have a mate who was involved with the case and rides a bike. He might be able to help depending on how public the info is. PM me.
