    ...just saw some blurb before the news that there will be a feature on Close Up tonight.

    This is from the Close Up web page;

    "Standby Wellington - angry bikers plan to descend on the capital in their thousands, angry over massive hikes in registration fees. But first they take on ACC."

    Fuck me, I hardly ever give red bling but you qualify big time.

    66% of collisions are caused by the car driver.
    11% of accidents that dont invlove a collision are caused by the car driver.

    Find better facts, quote 'em and I'll read 'em.

    Otherwise please stop dribbling in a public place.
    David must play fair with the other kids, even the idiots.

    Latest ad says something along the lines of "find out how motorcyclists plan to paralyze the capital". I just hope this isn't the start of a slander campaign against motorcyclists so when Joe public sees protest action he'll think - ah yes, here's those fuckers i've heard all about.

    So if we paid the total cost for ACC we would be paying $3300 a year in levies to cover costs that means it cost ACC @$400 million dollars a year in claims?

    You got the ACC guy stumped on the figures big time, you came over really well and that guy sounded like a pillock. Good work!

    Well done, Les!

    Excellent interview Les.
    The ACC drone was shown to be a dithering idiot

    Yes he had facts to match and beat the ACC claims and showed him up using his own!

    Why does no one mention rugby? Is our nation that scared of the consequences of pricing rugby out of peoples reach?
