This actually ISN'T about Govt wanting to take bikes off the road: it's about Govt wanting to privatise ACC. To do that it will help enourmously if ACC fees are hiked so high that private insurance looks cheap by comparison.

The idea of disruptive action is NOT that they will give us what we want to shut us up; it is that the noise we make will bring media and the publics attention to the injustice of what they are doing.

Good constructive post though, keep it up[/QUOTE]

How about a trade me add,
Sale on behalf, one fully funded (not quite there yet, still smoke screening the public, but will be up and running at point of sale) ACC scheme. All enquiries to John Key or Nick Smith.
No Asians please, Winston is coming back and we so dont need the headache.

Text could do with more work, but Jo public would just shit themselves. This would make the news I reckon.

Probably could, "disorderly behaviour" is the classic arrest grounds for breaking up demonstrations and picket lines.

Dodgy ground for the cops too, though. They'd have to push the arrests through to a prosecution, and proving "disorderly" isn't as simple as it sounds. LOTS of union background and case law on that .

And would they REALLY want articles in the press "Hundreds of bikers arrested for finger waggling " ?

Don't forget how intimidating bikers can look to outsiders. A line of 20 bikers, doing nothing , just standing, all in black leather, arms folded , staring, is real scary for people who don't know what sweet gentle souls we are.

You're quite right.... I thought the finger waggling was of the middle finger....

actually its private land, im pretty sure if you have the owners permission you can do as many burn outs as you want. (and if you go futher the police should go away unless the owner has complained)

I assume you're referring to the carpark call?

All carparks are private, but all carparks have a right of access to the public = public road.

I checked the ph messages and replies to the suggestions of meetings

auckland turned out with 5 and only one reply out of wellington

I kinda feel like deleting all the numbers and starting again; disappointing stuff

never mind; i'll do my thing regardless

[Patrick]

Now that is disappointing.....

5 from the biggest city in NZ and 1 from the next.....?

At least 30 turned out for the local shopping mall parkup here a few weekends ago............. in little ole Naki........

It is disappointing

There are about 25 volunteers registered in the Kapiti/Wellington area and 30+ in greater Auckland.

I'm thinking that good old Kiwi apathy may have taken hold or perhaps the tall poppy thing.

One of the keener Auckland volunteers has suggested that deleting all the names and having people recommit is a good idea: I'll think about that after the Key/Smith Political meeting in Auck this evening.

just had an idea for another protest thing,

some bikers in black leather with black helmets with black visors could go to the bee hive and with some round up, write some friendly messages on the lawn.

next bikeoi perhaps, nobody would notice a couple of guys with wee sprays in a sea of thousands of protestors, and we'd be long gone before the results showed!
