Yep, I remember that, this country was set up to make things easy for miners and farmers. There are remnants still, eg stock trucks are excluded from the law about dumping rubbish on the road. And the green rain season will be on us again soon enough.
Back when I had my BMW in the 90s I knew a number of well-off BMW riders who did not insure their late model bikes. They rode so as avoid accidents as far as possible, but could afford it should it happen.
My moped wasn't insured for a few years. It was going to cost shit loads if I hit a Mercedes, but I figured that if I hit a Merc it would hurt, so I was going to do my best to avoid that. The Ulysses group policy on the bike then covered the moped along with the bike and the potential problem went away.
