ACC just another National agenda!

**GSXGirl** · 15th October 2009, 15:44

Thanks to all those far right National Supporters, why complain? ACC is just one of many intended price hikes!! Hello!!! NATIONAL is the rich mans Government, everyone knows that so all the people who voted National (or didn't vote at all) this is the price we will all be paying and it's just one of many! Yes I know there wasn't a lot of choice when it came to voting but why on earth would someone who is not earning at least $130,000PA vote National? Do they not realise it make the lives of the poor, disenfranchised or hard-working middle to low income NZer even harder which in turn increases social problems and crime rates...DUH! At least Labour had half a conscience! Is it fair that someone like myself who owns a GSX1400 as a toy that gets rolled out of the garage maybe 8 times a year pay huge amounts of ACC $$ for the privilege of a riding a large bike on a sunny day! It is normally the incompetent car driver that causes the unsuspecting motorcyclist to come to grief anyway so they shouldn't complain about subbing the Bikers! Don't think for one minute that ACC will be the only casualty of this Government! National is for the rich remember? they think we all earn the big bucks and since the majority of the country voted them in I must conclude that is the case!! I have been riding bikes for over 25 years and I have dropped one (recently) but no insurance claims or ACC claims were involved and I have not had any ACC claims for riding my bike ever because I know I'm a target on the road and that is how I ride and that is how I stay safe! It is not fair but I suppose one could argue, what's an extra $1000 in a year when you earn $200,000pa???? Just remember to vote NATIONAL!!! Keep the working man down where he belongs!! There now that should spark a bit of healthy debate!

Why would you own a GSX1400 if you only rode it 8 times a year?!?!

Take your smear campaign somewhere else.

I voted for National, and I can only say that we should have expected some hardship in cleaning up the mess that the Labour government created. Do you really think our situation would be drastically different had Labour stayed in power? I think not. It's hard to hide a $13b deficit, unless of course it's election time!!!

Too busy moaning about the 'rich pricks' to get his leg over I reckon...

Please keep the pointless political drivel to the tardme opinion boards, tedious and not really the point is it...

LABOUR Created my ass.
National are heartless asswipes, they only got in because ill informed Kiwi's wanted a 'change'...bad call and we all knew it whether we liked it or not

EVERY promise they made in pre election campaigning has been broken, name ONE they have kept? Just one...go on!

I did not vote National
I actually quit from Public Service in disgust when JK became my boss

Maybe because it's a "free" country ... ???

At 8 time's a year ... thats only an extra $100 ... per ride.

The mess we're in was/is caused by international events and Labour didn't help matters.

OP, you're assuming there are no bikers earning 200k+. I know that there are, and why would they not be equally as incensed as you over this ridiculous rise. Wealthy people hate paying over the odds too. Probably more so than your average bloke.

But as a percentage of their income its much, much less. So it doesn't hurt as much.

So.....lemme get this straight. Motorcyclists are 16 times more likely to require ACC assistance because National leads the coalition government.......??? So National are causing our accidents?!!

I learn something new and amazing every day.

This post is Very Wrong.
This is not a result of a National Government. A rich mans Govt! WTF?

This is a result of 9 years of a Labour Government. Which drove ACC debt into the 13 Billion deficit that they've left for National to deal with.
National have to do something to defuse this massive issue and unfortunately were being targeted. Motorcyclists often require skin grafts and skin grafts cost 5-10 times the cost of most other treatments over the same duration.

You could say that National have been left to clean up the mess left by Labour yet again. National can't leave this debt to be ignored.
