That's what I thought I said. Injuries sustained in 2008 will cost $x for treatment etc, and those that require ongoing expenditure will cost $y. x+y= $49M.

I recon that what has happened is that all the cash that they had saved for furture payments, that they were hoping to earn interest in to pay teh furture payments, has taken a nosedive due to bad investments and the crash. And now they need to make up the shortfall. So who better to nail than the bikers.
But when they make it up, do they drop the levies again?

Well, the $49 is the estimated cost. Whether they COLLECT that much (which is what you originally said) is what we are fighting over.
