Yep croc, ever since the employment contracts act kiwis bend over and take it no matter what
Sorry about the short notice for todays little Nats in Papatoetoe meting guys.And of course for not putting the bloody link in the first time. But never fear some did attend and we gave a good showing , talking wiht all the Nat Ministers present , even the Temp PM English. Why was I surprised when National MP for law and Order .Melissa Lee expressed surprise and consternation at the ACC's initial demand of $10,000 from BRONZ in exchange for their statistics and figures.Not all of Nats MP's are happy about how this is going down, of course all of Nats MP's will tow the party line. Alot of the nat supporters present in Papatoetoe had also attended the Tamaki meeting yesterday and many of them expressed theri pleasant surprise at our presence and our manner in addressing the Nat MP's then and today, we're getting them thinking and many though Nats dont agree with their ACC Policy. Dodgyiti's dodgy Pizza Delivery Service was one hellofa success with all being consumed in record time by the ravenous BFTP'ers. Max, I thought the same sort of things about Mr sMyth, I too was glad of the girls being given their time and being able to present Smith with thier unique petition, pity is so many there were so far removed from reality that they couldn't see the very real pain and suffering right there in front of them. Dodgyiti, no ones giving up, least not as far as I know, this is going to take a while but it will be worth it. Pics of last night and tonight in our gallery, the Cross went on today, from now on it's all bets are off and playing fair is optional.
Melissa Lee....did you not see her campaigning for Mt Albert....... Even the MC came up to Max and myself who were availing ourselves of the free coffee offered and said something along the lines of not all of us agree with what is happening.....very odd. After watching the late news its clear that Nick and ACC are after middle NZ hearts and minds......well money anyway. Is this the public view? Motorcycles are a leisure activity carried out by middle aged men with too much money and their bikes are too powerful and 16 times more likely to have a crash than me in my car. Why should we pay for their accidents and rehab. They are bloody nuiscence and would not be missed off the road.
Don't get me wrong caseye, I am far from giving up, I am persuading friends (biker and non) to take a stand, to understand the implications to them and educate as best I can. As for protesting, I will rest up while the MP's are- I have more than plenty to do in the next 6 weeks anyway- and be ready to stick it up them in the new year. Mike.

Yeah mate, I reckon that is how 80 +% of cagers see it, but I still can't understand their apathy in the face of their own $600 to $1000 annual increases in earner levy and car rego levy
