Waste of time targeting malls. Its the wrong target group, in the wrong place.

Mums and kids, are the wrong group. All the privately owned malls have to do is have you towed and or stick a trespass order on you. Probably turn very nasty very quickly and will involve the police and the media.

Sorry about that Ronin

Retailers have had a crapola year this year and need the Xmas trading, some are banking on it to keep afloat.
To throw a bunch of bikers blocking the malls will hurt them.......thats not fair, as isnt the ACC levies, but dont go fucking around with other NZrs incomes just because you have had a hint of a ACC levy increase.

So I wont and dont support it, keep it away from the malls.

The whole idea of protesting at malls shows the same sort of inspired genius that the cyclists who took over the Harbour Bridge demonstrated. Now just about every motorist in Auckland has a pathological hatred for cyclists and oppose their causes on general principle. I do not want to share the road with hundreds of angry members of the public. The 80% public support we currently enjoy will evaporate and people will write in to Nick Smith asking him to make the levies even higher. (I know I would). A much better place to target is ACC itself as they are the ones playing at social enginnering through taxation. Denying retailers their business and the public their ability to do their shopping is quite simply flawed in its conception and a good way to turn the situation to Nick Smith's advantage.

Council owned public carparks or long lengths of popular parking streets ...Yes

Privatly owned carparks...no

Couldn't put it better.
