    As I said: Fair warning

    http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/2952...op-your-wallet

    They're not here to discuss their findings or the application of regulatory change.

    Running a vehicle is about to become very much more expensive. Couple this with Third Party Insurance becoming compulsory and very expensive in the near future and there will be a huge increase in unregistered, unwarranted, unlicensed, uninsured drivers.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I guess we'll all just have to find better-paying work.

    Or sell the kids for medical experiments.

    I might start with the latter.

    OR, look for lower paid jobs so that we give them less...

    I was thinking of the fuel taxes and compulsory insurance costs.

    "This $4.8b loss will go down in New Zealand history as the biggest corporate loss of any entity, public or private, and is actually bigger than any deficit that the government has run collectively across all portfolios."

    So it makes me wonder - just what the F were Labour doing for nine years - I only got tax increases and extra levies (ha ha a tax) from them during their reign. Bastards.

    Looks like I'll be broke under National too! Lets see - a wee tax cut, followed by huge increases in ACC etc.

    Hang on a minute.

    What effect has the lowered ACC take due to large rises in unemployment had here?

    If the economy picks up ACC income will go up too, won't it?

    I bit short-sighted lifting the levy too high too fast I would have thought.

    What do they do when ACC has a surplus in a couple of years?

    Oh yeah, use it to cover the shortfall from all the uninsured, unregistered drivers crashing in their unroadworthy cars.

    My bad. As you were.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Insurances - pah don't start me.

    Life insurance so if I die the family is covered
    Medical insurance for the family, so if we get ill we won't die waiting for the public health system
    Mortgage insurance so if I lose my job the family can remain in the house
    Vehicle insurances
    House & contents insurances
    ACC (a form of insurance) from pay, petrol, rego etc
    Income insurance so I can keep paying all the insurances I have if I lose my job!

    This hasn't come from "out of the blue", obviously EVERY SINGLE minister has known about this for sometime.

    For some reason, they chose NOW to inform us all of it.... I wonder why.

    My guess is that is the pre-courser to announcing the compulsory 3rd party insurance we all knew was coming.

    It reminds me of Winstons compulsory retirement savings plan that came and went oh so quickly.......

    I recon in about ummm 10 years, the same will be said for our retirement savings (government super)

    (SIGH) don't think it's tough in NZ though guys...... In Germany the income tax for an average worker is 42%, and they get taxed on inheritance,property value gains, etc.

    Hang on a second..... there is a better way to get money when the country needs it, TAX PROPERTY GAINS.........

    Sure, it will make a few unscrupulous property developers whine, but man, think about the Millions of dollars they are missing out on EACH MONTH in NZ, moreover, change the tax regs for property developers, for it is THEY who forced the values so artificially high in NZ, making purchasing a home all but a dream for most Kiwi's.

    The only reason they TAX fuel so high is because we will still use it, no matter what the price.

    The only way round it is to use public transport, or better still, cycle to work, forcing them to find another means to get money from the working class Kiwi.

    Fat chance on the public transport!

    The only way to stop incurring this level of expenditure is to stop spending it.

    The govt won't collect any more money - they will just reduce the number of contributors.

    Mmmm...welcome to the rest of the world...

    TPO Insurance should not be too expensive...it's not now and that is with insurance not being compulsory...with Insurance it means that Insurer's can recover money....

    ACC is medical and income insurance rolled into into one...cost a whole lot more for private insurance.
