BR: Polls
BRONZ has outstanding and ongoing concerns about :
- The size of the levy (for large bikes in particular), and the probability of large increases next time round.
- Separate cc classifications
- The problem of multi vehicle ownership
BRONZ confirmed its three objectives
Abolition of the separate motorcycle classification
Abolition of cc distinction
Abolition of statutory full funding requirement
(achieving no 1 would automatically eliminate no 2 , but they were both kept because no 2 may be a stepping stone to no 1)
BRONZ also confirmed its opinion that a fairer method of collection should be established.
BRONZ considered specific actions for Q1 2010.
No specific BRONZ organised protest action is planned for Q1, but BRONZ will continue to endorse protests that meet BRONZ criteria (legal, not having disruption as the primary reason, though recognising that protest usually entails some disruption to someone)
BRONZ will undertake a program of education and persuasion targeted at the public and at decision makers and influencers, focused on the objectives above. These targets include National and Labour MPs, media, and the general and motorcycling public
BRONZ will review specific protest action (ie megaphones, bikes on the road) as ACC actions or events provide a 'hook' to centre protest action on - noting that the next such event is likely to be the release of the report of the ACC Stocktake Group, forecast for March
BRONZ also noted the invidious position of the AA as regards motorcycles and resolved to communicate concerns to the AA.
