Interesting...I was under the impression that there will be another big Welly protest...I'll be there AGAIN.

I have been there for both of the protests at Parliament, been to local ones as well and am currently with-holding rego fees on a bike ... won't say too much about that cos I wouldn't want to draw unwanted attention...

I know quite a few riders that are saying "F U! I would rather risk a $200 fine from the MOT than hand over $$s to ACC".

the battle to reduce the levies on the rego's has been lost, so forget about it people. The levies have come in to effect already.

We acheived a reduction from the bikeoi last year and if we wanted more of a reduction or at least a freeze on levies we needed to back up the bikeoi protest straight after and that has passed.

So what is the battle for now? keeping the levies at the new rate without a further increase next year? or to keep ACC as a no-fault principle?

The issue is still quietly bubbling away in the background.
The cartoonist in our local paper occasionally gives it a kick too...

[NONONO]

Think the issue is firmly back on the agenda...

Sorry if I always sound like a wowser , but I have been banging my head againt that , "still mustn't grumble " attitude , 99 % of kiwis have ( yes 99! most say they do , but actually don't )

Nz was such a nice place until the reforms , I worked my arse off ( and paid for ) protests , but sadly 400 Lincon students on a Wednesday afternoon , doesn't shift the points to allow the political train to alter its course
coupled with the fact that , the bond market is putting pressure on NZ ( who is doing rather well) to reduce the loans

our politicians ( I don't think ) have much room to maneuver , But on saying that ,

ACC is the jewel in the crown of NZ , and We as a people are F"#$ing that up

I will not ( am not ) going to be a part of that destruction

You sure you won't come with us?
You sound just like Mom...
Have a think...
Night.

[SMOKEU]

I've given up on the thought of protesting. I'm just putting the rego on hold and I'm hoping I won't get snapped.

Acc protest movement dead no, matured yes. The movement is no longer a single issue movement, it has I feel has matured to take on the many issues that face motorcycling. The coming together of groups such as APEG Christchurch and MAG-NZ formally Auckland Action Group can only mean good things for motorcyling, MAG-NZ has already received recognition from other motorcycle representative groups and govt roading committees, this can only be good for motorcyclist.

We have as members some particularly good lobbyist all of which are well respected within govt circles and the motorcycle industry.

Insider knowledge tells me watch this space and all we ask from the motorcycling public is your support.
