Labour Party MP's message read out at Protest Ride - 3/11/07

Duynhoven, King and Tizard won't do anything about it. that's up to *us*.

They won't do anything about it on their own, sure. However, the only way anything is going to get changed is if one of those ministers instructs Transit to change it. It's not Transit we have to convince and pressure. It's the government.

When they put their money where the mouth is then I will become a believer,

In the mean time we need to think bigger, most of us on KB are members of other forums, so we can all do our bit start stearing up on every bike forum we can and as PCworld even has a poll about should they remove cheesecutter barriers or not then join the forums and post to the polls out there.

maybe if we stire up enough we could even orginise a day world wide that all bikers could hold a protest rally, maybe the press will be more likly to come on board with support for there removal
Just a thought.

I have been asked by some of the Protest Ride Organisers to post up the letter/message, from some Labour Party MP's, that I read out at the Auckland Domain after our protest ride.

I had spent all day (10am to 9pm) on Friday (2nd November) speaking to many Labour Party MP's, about the Wire Rope Barriers (cheescutters) at the Labour Party Conference, that was held at the Bruce Mason Centre in Takapuna on the 2nd -4th November 2007.

The MP's were all shocked and saddened by what had happened to Dan and wanted their condolances passed on to the family.
I did get a very good positive feedback from the MP's.
Some wanted more information, so I was able to pass on some infomation that Ixion had emailed to me the night before.


Here below is the message that Hon Judith Tizard asked me to read:





The MP's asked me to let them know how the ride went and as to how many turned up.
They were all impressed that approx 350 bikes were on the protest ride, especially as it was only organised within the past week.
They all said "Well done".

Cheers for taking the stand on behalf of us all.
