ACC ad in Dominion Nov 5 (now with 100% more PDF)

[Mom]

Got the same letter...it definitely was a majority decision only but a decision none the less...I did laugh reading the part where it said do not release this to the media as we will do it.......wankers!!!!

Will the Ombudsman look at this in all honesty?

Yes he will. It is his job.

So by inference, if they don't release it, that means we can

Who knows?

Here it is for all those who wish to read it:

just had a read of the article riffer uploaded.

the bulk of it seems to hinge upon the 320mil figure that they beleive we owe, the other points ARE misleading as well, but they CAN be interpreted in such a way that makes them truthful so I dont think we will get anywhere there.

Will try and find a hole in there 320mil figure, as it seems like its BS.

[bogan]

so the average bike accident costs 320/3,173 = 100k per accident
car accident costs; levies =2,584,509*312.91=808mil .... 808/8525=95k per accident. (all figures obtained using the ASA response letter)

So a car now costs 95k per accident, and a bike 100k per accident, so not too much difference.

I dont understand why they publised the cost per year figures first, if they wanted future funding though. Or maybe the first figure were for future funding and the 320mil ones are pure BS.
