I said soon after the formation of this Government was announced, that
Peters would be the most likely one to bring about its collapse.
This bee in his bonnet that he’s got over the grounding of the Aratere is
a case in point. It’s clearly just a rumour that somebody who was supposed
to be on the bridge went off on a “coffee break”. Yet he keeps insisting
that it be investigated as though it were fact.
Notwithstanding that politicians shouldn’t be interfering in accident
investigations, if I were to think of someone I would consider more likely
to be right until proven wrong, it would not be Winston Peters.
