    No - Example - We were 'sold out' by our own kind around the campaign for ACC.... Then again that's Politics.

    Interesting to note that the ACC fund is doing well, with bumper returns.

    Actually your pal Stoney is a classic example of discussion on this site.
    He didn't agree with what I said about ACC Privatisation, therefore he's has concluded that I must be:

    1)A National Party Stooge.
    2) In the pocket of the Insurers.
    3) not deserving of a KTM.

    (I am in fact only one of those options)
    And just to make sure that he's not exposed to anymore contrary opinions, he's put me on ignore.

    An abusive person with a closed mind - don't we already have enough of those in Gummint?

    That result was a combination of the investment turnaround and lower than expected claims.

    The recovery of the investment market is no surprise, but the fact that they had $500m less claims than expected (and that they levied for) is fucking annoying for a person with three bikes over 600cc...

    You mean that he has an opinion, voices it in an emotive manner and in certain respects won't give up his "beliefs/principles" without a fight... I could level the same at yourself, but won't, although I kinda just did, but I'm sure we're mature enough to move passed that ... damn him, he sounds like a frikkin tyrant and should be put down immediately . Me and Stones have our differences, don't we StoneY , but that doesn't mean that we can't agree a common ground for the common good, or even, heaven forbid, cede to one anothers arguments ...

    The pair of you have just demonstrated one of the main things I detest about government. Letting the personalities get in the way of the debate. Not everyone on here does that, which is why i'll still hold that KB'ers could govern
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    I have no doubt you were tempted to all sorts of mayhem by me asking repeated and pointed questions, but you didn't resort to personalities. I disagreed with him and suddenly I'm not fit to ride a KTM(?).

    BTW - as you've just quoted me, he'll be off again...

    Can't see the number of claims being significantly less than previous years...but the number of APPROVED claims is way down.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Emotive responses ... maybe
    I tend to operate on the level of basic TRUTH thats all

    ACC is a nof fault situation yet bikers are being penalised for a lifestyle choice
    The myth of the 70$ cross subsidisation - 70$ x 2.15 million = (anyone have a calculator?)
    A SHITLOAD more than the $63,000,000 and change our injuries bill was in the year 80/09

    I dont need to rest my case on this one, 9,500 of us made it on the lawns of Parliamnet
    Just ride.

    Just a point on this one, as sooooo many people still don't get it...
    That bill of $63M was not only for all injuries in 2009...it includes all injuries from previous years still being covered. The problem with this is that from 1999 , levies were raised to cover projected costs of injuries sustained in (whatever) current year. So jump forward 10 years and Nick the Prick and ACC threw out that $63M as though it had to be paid from the current year's levies.
    The real injury cost in 2009 was $24M.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
