Winston Peters wants to be the first to go back into Pike River Mine.

The New Zealand First leader says if it's good enough for safety experts to re-enter, it's good enough for him.

Protestors have spent the last couple of days blocking the access road to the mine.

And in Wellington, Pike River families have presented a new plan to re-enter the mine safely.
