242 is a good increase from 40 a year ago!.

BTW, it costs about $500 - $1000 a year to be on the BRONZ committee - stuff that you pay for , travel costs etc.

Anyone is welcome to start an alternative, y'know.

Ixion, you have to sit back and consider the nature of terrorism. The power of terrorism is contained in the threat, the possibility. And so one tells the media that such and such will happen, either, here, or there, or there. The result will be this, that, or the other.

For example, tell the media that 10,000 bikers are going to infest a Westfield carpark and deny the entire mall of parking spaces for a day, gets their interest; as history demonstrated.

The trick is to name several malls to then infest all the mall owners with the worry of thousands of bikers turning up to deny parking spaces to shoppers.

Then you contact the media, as a mall shop owner and complain. 'They're coming here! They will destroy my business!' Then you do it again, as a mall shop owner from another mall.

I won't take long for the story-starved media to pick up on it. Do it well and they will do the beat-up for you.

But, at the end of the day you have to deliver a lot of bikers to a place which will cause the media to follow it up.

You can tell the media anything. They're such dicks that the bigger the claim the more they hope a thousand bikers will turn up with shotguns and rotten eggs.

So the trick is; get media interest then make sure you turn up to a specific site, upset a whole bunch of folk, then tell the media why you're there.

Then repeat it again, every other weekend until someone finally says enough is enough.

Remember, most bikers have sucked on the ACC increase. Your task is to reignite their rage.

Good luck.

But for the record....I'll join the 27th protest if I know where to go.

From todays NZ Herald

"Dr Smith told Parliament's transport and industrial relations committee the corporation was expected to report about a $2 billion surplus this year, mainly due to a huge turnaround in investment markets, a $35 million reduction in administration costs and, most significantly, a stabilisation in the rate of increase of its long-term liabilities."

Thank you all for your generous assistance in making ACC profitable again

That's the spin version of...
The recession is easing. All levies are up. We've sacked a shitload of case managers and other paper shufflers. We've massively increased the number of claims denied. We've cancelled payments on existing claims.

That sits well with the claim that ACC is broke & we have to put up all vehicle registrations to cover the shortfall.
Wonder which one is the lie?

Oh, and it may be an idea to check your spam folder or your isp's spam settings. A lot of spam filters regard anything sent to a lot of recipients as spam . You may need to add BRONZ to your white list

Oh silly me. I should have known to log into KB to find out why I am not getting emails or any sort of communicaion from BRONZ since I gave them my hard earned cash.
