I have a growing concern over the political actions of MOTO NZ.
MOTO NZ is funded by us motorcyclists.
From the MOTO NZ web site:
"Funding the idea
Motorcyclists and other riders might have some good plans for improving their own safety. And, rather than see other programmes sacrificed, a separate fund was set up for these actions. Adding a $30 Motorcycle Safety Levy (MSL) to each registration would finance the plan and, because it was paid by riders, it would be kept for our priorities."
In t<OTO NZ's latest 'Sorting Fact From Fantasy Article' they push a very contentious political view point that is not shared by a large proportion of the motorcycle community and they push this political agenda using our funds.
example..
"Anyway, a day of Great Enlightment struck in 1999, and the powers that be decided that ACC needed to raise the whole of life care costs in the year the claim was first made"
Perhaps instead of calling it 'Sorting Fact From Fantasy' they should have titled the article 'Promoting our political fantasy agenda with your money and presenting it as fact'
I am more than happy for anyone to strongly present their own opinion in hany public forum using their own money. Freedom of speech and all that, .... but when they become a paid mouth piece for Nick Smith and the money is directly taken form my ACC levies to promote a view I disagree with it seems like the oft reported Chinese policy of charging the family for the cost of the bullet they use to shoot you. I am not sure that the Chinese really do this.
Who rights MOTO NZs crap?
ooohhh I feel so much better now that I have had my righteous Friday rant!
BTW none of you were forced to contribute any money for me expressing this political view.
