    Have a look at what John Key said after the massive truck protest in Auckland last year...


    "I struggled to get around Auckland this morning during the truck protest.

    The Labour government has to step up and admit it was wrong to raise commercial road user charges without any warning on Monday night. It has shown contempt for the road transport industry and for businesses up and down the country.

    The Minister of Transport promised the Road Transport Forum last year that she would modify the Road Users Charges Act so the Government could give truckies and other commercial road users a month's warning of any increases. The Minister's failure to do this is a breach of good faith.

    The increase in the road user charge of about 7% for a typical truck comes at a time when the trucking industry is really struggling with higher fuel costs. These costs will eventually be passed on to all New Zealanders in the form of higher prices for food, clothing, and every other essential good that gets transported by road.

    The hike in the road user charges for diesel vehicles came on the same day that Labour hiked the ACC levy on petrol by 2c a litre, and increased vehicle registration fees by $40 per vehicle.

    These new costs for motorists and truckies were introduced just before Michael Cullen admitted that Labour paid a "premium" to buy the railway assets of Toll.

    Hiking transport costs just when people are struggling with higher living costs and when Labour has paid several hundred million dollars too much for the trains and the ferries, is a slap in the face for every Kiwi road user, consumer, and taxpayer."


    What a two faced bastard.....
    The only way to fight this is to do the same thing the truckies did, fill the Auckland motorway with bikes, at rush hour.

    Sone wording does need changing

    such as
    (02:42:11 PM) stephen: This triumph one is ok but 4. Many motorcycle family’s own more than one bike also several cars so we are getting bent over more than once
    (02:42:24 PM) stephen: that needs to be changed

    Follow the monies .....

    From the imf report on NZ

    ( read what American economists think NZ should do)

    http://www.imf.org/external/np/ms/2009/032309.htm

    snippy snip


    8. Given the downside risks to the economic outlook, medium-term projections should be based on conservative revenue assumptions. The mission encourages the authorities to prepare contingency plans in case the economic and fiscal outlook deteriorates further. In that event, the authorities should allow the automatic stabilizers to operate, but put in place offsetting measures that would reduce the deficit in the medium term.
    9. Over the long term, key budgetary risks are the growing healthcare costs and public pension outlays. These risks should be addressed before the demographic pressures intensify, by reforming health care and the public pension schemes.

    Interestingly enough;
    208,305,000 + 62,523,000 = 270,828,000 total car and motorcycle claim
    130,213 + 2,788,938(current fleet) = 2,919,151 bike and car fleet
    270,828,000 / 2919151 = $92.78 levy required by each vehicle at present car is $168 and a bike is $253



    $62,523,000 / 130,213 = $480.16 I am not sure how he got $2000.00 or the $3700.00 if involved with a car.



    The true cost of the levy is suposse to be $3700.00
    $3700.00 x 130,213 = $481,788,100 just unver 0.5 billion



    Total claims by car and bike are only $270,828,000


    The total claims in 2008 was 1.7b or $1,700,000,000

    Has anyone figures for the breakdown of the bike fleet by capacity.

    Specifically, I'm after what percentage of bikes are over 600cc
