SEND LAWYERS. The Nickster may HAVE to consult with us

[StoneY]

Would it be that as the AA is the AUTOMOBILE Association they would not qualify as a representative organisation?

My view is that Automobile applies to 4 wheeled vehicles, besides which the AA has never done anything that I am aware of to assit motorcyclists in NZ. I'm happy to be corrected though.

Your correct, and I have pulled all AA memberships and 6 insurances they held on me and mine

They support the levys and want em raked even higher

I'm not sure it would matter to Smithy - he might use their anti-motorcycle agenda to his own ends.

He might say that they were the only national body which would get close to being representative.

Although, as Ixion points out, that would have difficulty standing up to scrutiny. From Labour or the courts.

Yes you are defiantly going to need some legal advice on this one. You may well find that any meeting with the Minister in regards to biker concerns with ACC levies is indeed a ‘consultation.’ I don’t believe that any one party can define a meeting as not a consultation.

However if both parties agree that the meeting is not a consultation then I for one would be happy for it to proceed.

However I would be very hesitant in going into any meeting with Smith with out proof that he has agreed that your meeting is not such as is defined in the act

We also need to be careful who meets Smithy too.

Law Question: If BRONZ make their official spokesperson someone who wont be there, can Smith-a-rama claim to have "consulted" with BRONZ following the meeting"

[Ixion]

I've emailed David Parker. He may not know but the Labour party more lawyers and procedural experts than we could ever afford.
