- Description
Text in the top left reads 'Assinine comment' An ass that represents Minister of Education Anne Tolley stands on a hill top and says 'Overcrowded school buses? What's wrong with riding a horse?' in the distance a horse looks askance. Context - Education minister Anne Tolley has been accused of "going back to the Wild West" after she suggested horseback trips as an alternative to overcrowded Gisborne school buses. Mrs Tolley said the horseriding reference, in an email to Gisborne Mayor Meng Foon, was only light-hearted and some pupils in the Gisborne area already went to school by horse. But Labour says the East Coast MP was bullying Mr Foon in her email and that the Government should cough up for more schoolbus trips in the area. Labour education spokeswoman Sue Moroney said the reference to horseriding showed that Mrs Tolley did not take the issue seriously. "It was a very glib attempt bhe minister to just wipe the issue away. It's like going back to the days of the Wild West, quite frankly." (Press 18 April 2011)
