Wonder what the NZ stats are like for this group?
If the ACC need to segragate groups within a no fault system then every group should be included. We are a democracy after all

Oh gawd, I have 3 lawn mowers, a chainsaw, a weed eater, a rotary hoe, as well as the bike and 2 cars... I'd be attempting to get welfare assistance to mow the lawns!!

we get a lot of slow tractors on the expressway down here, and I was stuck behind one the other day, along with over 100 other cages. I wonder what his ACC levy is for his farm tractor? It must be really high coz there are a lot of farm accidents, with all kinds of machinery.

"Men made up the bulk of casualties, and most were aged 40 or older"

Clearly there is a need for a training for the ones returning to mowing.

Yes, this was in the paper etc, and all of New Zealand seems to think it's amusing, and yet its not ok for us to ride our bikes because we are being dangerous.. thats what we are up against folks..
