Most of us have made submissions. If ACC and National go ahead there will be Labour Prime Minister next term.

480,000 New Zealanders hold a motorcycle licence - 75% of them are over 40 years of age. I'll bet most of them used to vote National....they'll be Labour voters now.

And about 10% ride motorbikes....the rest drive cars...

Whadda bunch of meanies! Leave the poor guy alone. You were all n00bs once upon a time....

Do you really think there is a spy amongst us???

Hey, stopped for a lovely coffee at Maraetai tonight and spent the evening talking with a very nice chap who has impeccable taste in bikes (identical to mine, except his is the red one) who hadn't heard much about the ACC leeches. We had a great yak!!

Don't let the truth stand in the way of a good statistical argument against the introduction of the levies!

That is a stat I would agree with, even if it was released by ACC.

It's drier than Auckland and warmer than Glasgow. And I can actually afford my house (unlike the one I used to live in in Auckland which sucked every penny of disposable income from my wallet!)

ACC compromises have dominated KB since Nicky Smith opened her mouth about it. Good on ya though. I notice how people say 'well when it goes up i'll have to save up etc etc' .. if you talk like that you have already lost becasue ACC knows you say this and knows you have already given up. Tell em its not going up

sorry guys. i didn't read all the threads. i'm new here. by nice

anyway, i was just trying to help you guys out. Some of you here may have made submissions but did you actually Email Nick Smith? I'm sure if you Email Nick Smith you could say you WON'T vote for him or National in the next election if the ACC levy increase goes ahead and I don't think you can say that in the submission.

It think it's fair to say that ALL pollies have been bombarded with emails etc. But they are a funny lot...they have PAs to field all that sort of thing, so many/most MPs won't even see the outraged emails. Labour eventually seemed to get the idea that there were some upset bikers about the place, and have come out in favour of us. It's a start...

You'll get used to the abuse, I'm told I have a black belt in that sort of shite.

Welcome aboard anyway, don't be shy to fire the shite back.

We've all been firing submissions at Nick Smith, ACC and any/all politicians we can think of. It's possible they're getting the message, you never know.

Nick Smith is my MP and the first response I got was from his PA or somone just as vacuous but the fuckin' wanker didn't even reply to my second email.

Ya have to try though, voice your opinion etc, kb is a great place to do that. It doesn't mean shit but go hard!

PS: If you ever trade posts with Patrick, tell him he's a homo.
