Lead story TV One News (1 Dec)

[Bald Eagle]

We are still in the media. 6PM News lead story
Interesting hypothetical motorcycle accident victim case study the ACC spokesperson responded with.

The same scenario would fit a rugby player who pays no directly targetted levy.

Comments on their website everyone please . Lets put them straight.

edit, woops, that musta been the lunchtime one

edit 2, that links got both storys on it now

The same scenario would fit a rugby player who pays no directly targetted levy.

In the scenario quoted I wonder how often this actually happens (in the real world). There must be a hell of a lot of other 'hobbies' that have similar accidents with long term consequences, not just motorcycling.

at least going by that news story, TV1 might have decided its a better angle for them to be harder on prick smith than have been. dont think it was what B/E was talking about though, didn't match his description

It was the 6pm lead story at the top of the bulletin

motorcycles 0 - 125cc are going to be cheaper though?? that makes sense! you're much less likely to be injured running around town cause you're protected by your suit, board shorts or tshirt and all the cars protect you from crashing i guess:rolleyes:

Now just hang on a minute....
The middle-aged biker earning $80,000pa (coughfuckencough) breaks his back. So his earnings compo is going to be sizeable. If subsidising others is so abhorrent, why are they wanting to fleece poor me to pay for that rich biker?
Why o why can't the media see this?

yea and snice thats what alot of the people that are learning to ride they wont crash either!
far would it be cheaper if we all had to get our own insurance instead off acc like they do in other countrys?

also you could still work as a acc call operator if you have a broken back

Depends how much the lawyer you'll need is going to charge.

middle aged, bout 40 years income compensation left @ .8*80k = 64k pa, thats 2.5mil right there, another 1.5mil from treatment, almost double the injury cost is spent on income protection, so theres a huge income bias in thier figures (surprised much!)

Also, pretty sure you can have a back injury doing things other than motorcycling, bloody acc biased figures <img src="http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=152770&stc=1&d=1259399017" />

and as for the all over in three weeks with unhappy motorcyclists, my ass itll be all over. Perhaps we should be organising a possible next day/weekend rowdy protest if things dont go fairly (which is highly likely).

when the cunt that knocks you off your bike isn't insured and you end up fighting him for months in court while not working? yeah you do!

[Stormer]

Well that`s just phucken great!
Bloody national party bullshit...
I never voted for these fools and I never will.
The nice peaceful protests have failed...time to step it up a notch or two.
I`m moving over to that dissruptive protest thread, if I can find it...

Oh yeah, that 15% GST shite is gonna add to everything as well.

That's the one.... private insurance for personal injury = hog heaven for lawyers.

If the biker is 40 yrs old the income protection would only last till he was 65 yrs
or retirement age if he doesnt die before hand,this would change the figures
64k times 25yrs = 1.6mill
