tripple alliance 1,026 Report post Posted August 28, 2019 Anyone know if he is back at work , officially he has had a leg operation and was off work for the rest of the week . 19 August .'' Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters will be off work at Parliament for the rest of this week as he recovers from an operation on his leg.'' Last year a friend of mine went hunting on Stuart Island , just before he left he had a check up , on his return he was contacted by his doctor , get to hospital you have a problem , PART of his surgery required a leg operation , the removal of a vein , could this be a similar situation . My friend was incredibly lucky not to die , he's now 70 and back at work . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my suspicions are correct by now he will be using a tread mill to make sure the blood is pumping after the operation , I doubt pike river will be on his mind . As for the mine , You do realise by law no one can go past a certain point in any mine which has only one entrance , the pike river recovery operation has to apply for an exemption to the law to actually enter the mine past a certain point , this is likely to be declined , just money down the drain or mine if you like .

Really, the Pike River Mine promise was just another of those loonie, Leftie, feel good thought bubbles that are aired by the crazies, without any idea whatsoever of how it could happen, whether it was possible and how long would it take - if it was possible. All it does is give relatives and friends false hope. dock leaf 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stables 577 Report post Posted September 1, 2019 The man's 73 years old for gods sake. Get off his back. As for Trumps allegation that the Pike River recovery plan was a lefty feel good bubble, I would remind him that the recovery plan was instigated by the previous National government. I assume Trump is emulating his name sake by spouting false news Insider 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue 1,099 Report post Posted September 1, 2019 Nationals experts told them it would be unsafe to enter the mine. Labor's experts told them the opposite but anything they want to find pertaining to bodies is over 2kms down. While no news is said to be good news, no news is no news imho. Sorry, way off the subject. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A promise made by John Key, which was subsequently renequed And that's where the BS comes in , yes he did say that BUT with real strings attached , a point that lefty's choose to ignore . Our racing minister was going to be first down the mine , what happened there . '' Mr Peter During the post-Cabinet news conference on Monday afternoon, he reaffirmed the pledge first made the promise in front of Pike River families in December 2016, saying: "I'm that confident on the expert advice that you have, that I'm offering to be on the first party back in." Now let's get back on topic , it will be interesting to see if his health issue has been resolved and he is able to return to work today , some times these issues can drag on for longer than expected .
