Bastards!!
Ok peoples. I have here a PDF of the actual changes that were made yestreday Typical government document, all legalese and double dutch One thing I noticed was the fact they have apparently removed 'Prevention and Rehabilitation' from the description of the act (thats how it seems to read)...
Post your high res ACC protest graphics here in PNG format.
No doubt you will have heard about the new ACC levies that we are about to have imposed upon us. I thought this thread might be useful to use as a resource. Here you will find the details of what is happening Motor vehicle Policy ...
The Scary Bikers Sewing Circle (Auckland Division) has been making action packs and selling them to raise funds for the cause. It now seems there are requests coming in from all over the country so we are making them available by mail order! What's in the pack? You can have any combination of...
It began in 1995 - some early formulae are here and the same staff are still on the project and cooked up the formulae currently on the Ministers desk....
Hi all The BIKEOI co-ordinators have accepted my offer to help with their financials (thats money) to support the protest ride. The idea is that there are some people spending a bit of money and may need our help financially. The costs of a ream of paper, some photocopying or printing, raw...
OK. So were're all going down to Wellington. Cos we're opposed to the levies. So, what do we want? What's our posiiton We need a manifesto So, what are our principles and intentions And before we go ANY further let's be clear. here, we are ONLY talking about intentions (and I guess...
Yes Mods Can we have you attension for a moment Can threads such as this one , be put into one and made a sticky , minus all the one word replies So that the out pouring of replies can be structured Stephen
We're receiving lots of complaints about how hard it is to find important information amongst the flood of threads. We're trying to keep it tidy, but it's becoming a little messy. Sometimes our attempts at tidying up cause further problems... A couple of requests: Firstly, can the...
Ever felt like you were banging your head against a brick wall? Perhaps it's time we stopped looking upon ACC as the enemy and started considering ways we could work with them instead. Maybe it's time we accepted the levy increase that has been imposed upon us and now divert our energy...
We're not happy. You're gouging money from bikers. Where's it going ? Just what are we getting for our massively increased levies? We've been told that a bunch of grumpy bikers are planning to turn out to demand some answers : to remind Mr Smith that we're not happy. And that we're...
Hi attached is a copy of a letter I received from the Hon Nick Smith in response to my submission last year. I think that he makes some interesting points. I have copied some extracts from the submission below so that the attached response which is the interesting part of this post can be...
BRONZ (Auckland) held its first meeting of 2010 last night, and confirmed its position regarding ACC levies . BRONZ has outstanding and ongoing concerns about : The size of the levy (for large bikes in particular), and the probability of large increases next time round. Separate cc...
I would love to know how many people "won't" be registering there bike.:scooter: As the fines are only $200 a pop for no rego, Im a little reluctant to "bow" before the system and fork over more money for less cover:sick:....so what to do? Personally Im thinking I might just pay my rego up to...
I' going to offend some people..constructively.. I think this ACC protest movement thingy with the bikers is dead. It seems the majority of bikers don't care. and by not including a larger group of people [non bikers] by manipulating the argument a tiny bit and getting more lobby groups on...
Today, the Dishonourable Nick Smith announced that businesses are to be graded for safety. I gather the programme is to be not dissimilar to standard insurance company no-claims bonuses. Can't fault Smiths reasoning on this move. What I wish to know is, why is it not being applied across the...
Lots of talk of where the levy's going, how about some ideas of what to spend it on and i dont mean hookers or toyboys.
There are a fair few of us on the road who own more than one road registered bike. if they are all 601cc or larger the registration fees are apsolutely huge. -(yuu ya dont't say I'm hearin from you all) A thought to concider for a "band of brothers". Form a company with several shareholders...
Here's my letter to Nick Smith. Take from it wat you will but go at him. The point I make is valid and he knows it because he's agreed to apply it to business. Dear Sir, You have revealed what appears to be a genuine understanding of the unfairness of ACC levies in your latest...

Got an email from Andreas at Scootling on the weekend. ACC on the sly have added another $40 to moped registration. So the $130 new 12 months is actually now $170 (used to be $80) This was done behind closed doors in a semi secret way. No googling or search of the LTSA reveals this increase. ...
source (http://www.guide2.co.nz/politics/news/acc-report-recommends-overhaul-report/11/17700) "Wellington, July 2 NZPA - Entitlements offered under the ACC scheme will have to be cut and levies raised, even if part of the scheme is opened up to competition, a report by the Stocktake Steering...
I see the illustrious John Judge is ruffling a few more feathers. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10654844 This is an interesting comment... So he throws this out to the doctors, why cant he apply the same to the bikers?
Forgive me if this has been posted before, but what is the rego cost for a 40 year old bike? Has it gone up with the ACC levy increases also?
Hi I just extended my bike license by 15 months from today to 29/09/2011 and got charged at the new rate. Did I miss the deadline? I thought it was thursday? My rego expires 09 Jan 2011 and the extension cost $374.82(for an extra 8 months and 20 days). By my calculations this is the new...
We've all heard the term 'fully funded model'. But who of us actually understand what it means? I know I don't (think so). What I do know is that Nick the Prick wants this in place by 2019. But what will that mean for us? Premiums (levies) will never increase again? Will go down? Will cease...
The following is the information I got from the NZTA today: The new fees start from 1 July 2010 If your registration expires on or after that date you are screwed. You will be liable to pay the new fees even if you go in and pay early... If your registration is due before that date you...
He is doing a story on the increasing cost of ACC to New Zealanders. This issue is not dying. It's fast becoming a very large and cumbersome Albatross for the National Party.
In a set of circumstances extremely similar to the way ACC meted out changes to the motorcycle community at the end of 2009, the medical profession is about to cop similar treatment from everybody's favorite non-accountable corporation. The doctors aren't happy... ACC Chair Badly Missed The...
The rot continues . http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/3849550/ACC-looks-to-private-providers
The time to step up the campaign is now. The new charges are coming into effect in July and the day most motorists are going to really sit up and take notice is the day they have to pay the new fees! Now is the time that the papers are also going to be most open to printing letters. If you...
Looking at doing another ACC protest t-shirt run, but first need to know if the numbers are there. Need at least 200 to keep the price the same. Can you please post any photos you have of the shirts at protest rallies or on the road.
Any one heard bout the 2 billion profit the ACC theiving twats made on the radio today? and that they are sending work out to commercial organisations with a view to privatisation?.....:mad:
So now that they've cranked up the ACC rates, but haven't actually started charging them yet, suddenly everything is rosy. Time to start selling to the highest bidder then....
