Well publicised weren't they?

**James Deuce** · 25th July 2006, 08:28

Been and f__king gone. Where was BRONZ to get us organised?

**Squeak the Rat** · 25th July 2006, 08:30

FFS wasted opportunity....

Humbug. MoT most emphatically do NOT want our opinion, or that of any of the general public.

This sort of sham "consultation" is how these government departments work.

They set up a rigged "consultation" process, take VERY great care that no-one except their own stage managed cronies know about it; hold workshops at dates and times when normal (working, non givernment drone) people can';t possibly attened (note the times of the workshops - midday, weekdays. NOTHING at weekends, when the public might actualy attend) ; stack the meeting with their stooges; and then claim "public opinion is [whatever we've decided it should be])

I'd be fairly sure that BRONZ knew nothing about it, because the MoT will have taken ENORMOUS pains to make CERTAIN they didn't. the last thing the bureaucrats want is bikers turning up.

Perhaps I am just being overly cynical but.....STITCHUP comes to mind.

This really should be a TUI ad.

Theres still a meeting up in whagas for the auckland crew, its not a bad ride up there either!, but what is this all about?

**Ixion** · 25th July 2006, 11:40

Whangarei one is midday on a work day. So no go for anyone working.

There's an evening (5pm to 9pm) one in Hammyhole this Thursday.

No hope of working folk getting from Dorkland to hammyhole by 5pm. But maybe by 7pm?

Anyone up for an invasion ? The Northern barbarians taking over the niice little stitchup half way through?

**ZorsT** · 25th July 2006, 17:53

There is a good chance i'll make the Nelson one. I'm not sure if they'll actually listen to a hooligan like myself though.

**Ixion** · 25th July 2006, 19:48

Hammyhole is the only one in the evening, in the Northern world.

Anyone want to join an invasion fleet -

All those people who have opinions can go and express them here: http://www.safeas.govt.nz/smf/index.php

Christchurch has one on saturday morning... what is the workshop about?
Do you just turn up??? If people made suggestions would they listen and act on these suggestions?

Any more info on these workshops would be much appreciated... the website doesnt say anything about them.

**The Pastor** · 25th July 2006, 20:42

Yeah, what are the workshops for?

**Ixion** · 25th July 2006, 20:48

The workshops will be a put up job. They will be packed with MoT stooges who will slavishly endores the MoT agenda for lower speed limits. Since no-one else turns up to object, the MoT will then claim that lower speed limts have "general public approval". If you go along and object they can't clain that everyone agreed. But be prepared to be bad mouthed.
