WCC is about to stab all motorcyclists in the back

[Number One]

Bastidges! I'll be there.

As for the cyclists - what about the fact they don't pay ACC fees to ride their bikes and yet they have sooo many accidents.

[Quasievil]

Yeah we know but they are as close to an ally as we will ever get on our roads, my exec and I are making major efforts to recruit their support on this.
This issue aint about accidents and ACC, its about a fair deal to recognize the benefits we provide the city.

See you there man

As much as it pains me to say - I agree.

DB: Whats better than wasting time in court is nipping it in the bud to start with and making them understand that this kind of behaviour will not be tolerated.

If I was down that way i'd be there.

I might not be able to get there as 12000 miles away but can you folks video as much as pos. This will be imensely useful later. Especially useful those officials making anti bike statements, any anti bike incidents/attitudes, (parking etc). Any quality OK just need the footage. be prepared to get footage of security measures entering council chambers banning helmets, cellphones, cameras.

Oh don't forget to get a couple of wide establishing shots I can cut to and a few biker comments (Girl bikers/scooter riders/ordinary commuters/accountants in suits come across really well and get their permission).

The actions suggested will not achieve that.

Watch.

Or use one bike per car parking space.....

[StoneY]

The actions suggested will not achieve that.

Watch.

And we take them to court for what Steve???? Wanna tell us exactly what law this council is breaking we can sue them over?
Parking policy is theres to make, the consultation process we are following is the only chance at input we get

So that don't mean we should only have 3 people there...attend with numbers NOW and show them what they will be dealing with if we have to protest some.....

[Smifffy]

And do what? Plead? Cry? Beg?

You're pissing into the wind discussing anything like this with any official. The only solution is to fuck them up in a court of law - that will remove their ability to move against us, and then their hands are tied.

Don't you first need to consent to the jurisdiction?

[riffer]

Don't you first need to consent to the jurisdiction?

Shit don't get me started there Smiffy. Saw that Gerard Teoi Otimi was sentenced to 18 months in jail for selling false passports to Pacific Island overstayers. When Otimi was called to appear in the court his supporters challenged the law of the country. A man dressed in red and who called himself a sovereign counsellor and native assessor said the case could not go ahead as it would be a breach of Otimi's rights as a citizen of the sovereign Maori nation.


Sounds suspiciously like what DB is recommending. I expect DB's ideas will receive roughly the same response as Otimi's ideas.

Nope. You're still a raving Penis.

Good luck guys.

What really gets me pissed about this is that all WCC Councillors, as part of their pay package, are entitled to a fully paid for, covered car park within the council buildings. This “FREE” parking that only they are entitled too and their wages are paid for by your rates.

No other people in council are allowed to park in their spots and get hammered when they do, even for a short period of time.

Mrs Helen Ritchie leaves her car there 24/7 and lives in the Dominion Apartment building.

These pricks get paid for doing fuck all except screwing up our city and making fucked up decisions most of the time.
