In August, the Government announced an investigation into bus safety after three Fuso buses crashed in the North Island in 11 days. Southern Discoveries started taking tourists to Mt Nicholas Station in January 2014. At that point none of WorkSafe's staff have attended the scene, interviewed witnesses or asked questions about Southern Discoveries' health and safety practices. Soper tells Judge Garland after losing her job the bus driver has limited means to pay a fine or reparation. Only now, two-and-a-half years after the Mt Nicholas accident, WorkSafe confirms it is reconsidering its role in work-related road incidents.
