See BRONZ in action in Wellington 12-5-11 -- Wellington Mcycle Petition Presentation

[riffer]

Tomorrow at 9.15 we present the epetition on Free Motorcycling in Wellington.

I'll be making a small speech when BRONZ present this petition. It would be great if we had some people there for support and to make some public comment on this.

In addition, if there's anything you'd like me to include in my speech tomorrow, here's your opportunity to say something.

BRONZ Wellington Media Liaison

[NONONO]

Well done cocker. Good luck. Hope you get a few there.

Can't get the time off, but good luck

[James Deuce]

Where's your press release ripping National and Labour a new one for completely ignoring Motorcycle rego levies in the current round of discussions in the media revolving around ACC's profit helping to mitigate NZ's financial position?

Especially Labour. So much for their "support" eh?

[MIXONE]

Whereabouts?

The meeting starts at 9.15. There are a couple of housekeeping matters to attend to at the beginning of the meeting, and then we move into the Public Participation part, during which time I will be called to present our petition. That's likely to be around 9.20am.

Council Offices, Wakefield Street, Wellington

This all follows on from the efforts BRONZ, WIMA, Ulysses, and MAG have already gone to in meeting the council and having a discussion of parking issue's with them.

Any who can find the time to attend and back Simon up on this it would be very good to see some support in the crowd.

I'll do my best to be there, just gotta get my kiddies to school earlier so I can get ready to ride in and utilise that free parking

There's a big difference between the motor vehicle account and the workers account mate.

Gaaah. Being honourable and honest in politics and PR is asking for the kicking we continue to receive. It's a gold plated opportunity to extract some negative publicity for the actions of both major political parties and highlight the plight of motorcyclists.

There may be a difference in accounts. From a bottom line perspective for ACC it still contributes to their overall profitability.

Stop trying to play fair you mugs. The other side isn't.

There's a nicer view from the higher ground.

[Smifffy]

I'm all for free motorcycling!!

If you believe that you're completely deluded. I remember why I thought BRONZ were a waste of time, effort and money 20 years ago. You cannot work with Politicians, you can only consistently represent their policy and actions as unfair and dishonest until a significant proportion of the population believes your counter-propaganda enough to register in polls. Until their actions risk votes politicians will serve only their own agenda, no matter how they sugar coat it.

Working with them is a recipe for being swallowed by a bigger, more polished machine, much like you guys have been. These people are not our friends and want us off the road.

Higher ground Schmier ground anyway your a boring old fart and even though you class your speach as "a short speach" it will probably send everone to sleep. JD is corect in that you have to play them at their own game.
