MAG-NZ launches in New Zealand

[Virago]

A question for the MAG-NZ Committee,

I and many other KB members received an unsolicited email informing me of MAG-NZ. Note that I said email, not a pm via KB. When I check the message headers I see that these came from a mailer address at KB.

Can you please explain how you obtained these email addresses if you are a separate entity to KB? If the KB database was passed to you, that could be illegal under the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007 (despite having an unsubscribe link , which also points to KB.)

I will be taking legal advice and if necessary will lay a complaint with the Department of internal Affairs.

Details supplied to KB should not be used for other purposes.

The mail-out was from Kiwi Biker (mailer@kiwibiker.co.nz), not from MAG-NZ.

I Like the guy at work that smashed up his foot on his Moto-X bike. You know that was recorded as a motorcycle accident, yet he doesn't pay a cent in rego or levies.

But you see he does pay a levy. He pays when he buys fuel, and he has a deduction made from his earnings as part of the PAYE that is deducted from his wages. Even if he is on a benefit he still pays the levy.

This is a complex and vexed issue.

The sucky bit in this case (obviously) is we get to pay up to (in my case over twice more...) $500+++ more than 'him' per year

Yep....I've lol

Yes, I remember well the protests when those charges were increased to help fully fund ACC......

I don't see much complicated or vexed about recording the fact that he had an OFF-ROAD motorcycle accident, and separating that from the accidents involving registered motorcycles on the road.

Edit: For that matter I wouldn't care if he were on road or off, if he paid any rego at all.

I have read it. I stated in my original post that an unsubscribe link exists.

The main question is still unanswered, is MAG-NZ affiliated to KB? If not how did they obtain our email addresses?

I for one would like the statistics to represent reality. Like the guy at work that smashed up his foot on his Moto-X bike. You know that was recorded as a motorcycle accident, yet he doesn't pay a cent in rego or levies.
Or the people who crash on private roads, or race tracks....

The local Repco Manager told me he went to his mates new bike, new bike owner had just returned from an outing, manager dude was wearing shorts and burnt his leg on the pipe, it was writen up as a Motorcycle accident.

I am very aware of that. My question still stands. Is MA-NZ affiliated to KB?

If not, using the KB mailing facility seems somewhat strange.

If you clicked on the link, you will see it is from the Kiwi Biker mailer. And as stated on the homepage, I will send out emails for anyone with info on the ACC Levy campaign.

They did not KB has a notification system. You have been informed by KB that MAG-NZ has been launched.

I used the same line of comunication when informing motorcyclists about the Christmas ride.

I totally agree I have never given my permission for an organisation called MAG to use or obtain my email address and send me an unsolicited email. I am seeking legal advice as I find this an intrusion of my privacy. If the database has come from KB then more fool you for giving the database to MAG!!!!!

I wonder if the mate was a good enough mate that the repco dude gave him a few shekels to put toward his ACC levy increase...

You guys are having difficulty getting your heads around this.

The email was from Kiwi Biker - NOT from MAG-NZ. No email addresses have been divulged.
