Gutting ACC – join the fightback

The fightback against the Government’s proposed ACC cuts is building.
Green Party ACC spokesperson Kevin Hague has developed a
submission guide to assist people who want to make submissions against the cuts. Submissions close
26 November 2009, so get in quick if you want to have your say.
There’s also a big protest planned at Parliament next week. The protest is organised by the motorcycle lobby, but they have made it clear that anyone affected or potentially affected by the cuts to ACC is welcome.
The
ACC Futures Coalition, representing a large number of unions, ACC claimant groups, and professional organisations of treatment providers are supporting the protest.
So even if you can’t go on the
protest motorcycle ride, if you live in or near Wellington you can join the protest at Parliament next
Tuesday 17 November, at 12 noon. There is also a petition you can
download here in opposition to the motorcycle levy increase and in support of a return to the
Woodhouse principles of ACC.
Meanwhile someone sent me this really cool video yesterday exposing some of the Government’s lies and distortions about the proposed motorcycle levies.
