Assuming that you don't pay rego & therefor are not paying your way in this system, would you be happy for the first response teams to send the chopper or ambulance back due to your being uninsured via the ACC system ??? Or would you expect to freeload off those that do pay their share (and yours) ??

Fair call, id like to think that the rego/acc i paid for my car will cover me for the initial get to hospital regardless of which conveyance im using, plus i get extra browny points for being a rescue chopper and blood doner.

I would like to see the ACC paid once per driver, an annual licence fee that covers the ACC & have the Levies removed from the rego altogether. In theory it would be a fairer system.

Martin sometimes I just have to take back what I've always said about you, you know, he's a dumb Hick ... da de da! that is truely inspirational.Kidding mate, honest, don't hit me! Argh#$%@!
I'd run with this as a base idea and I saw another post that said something something like "one levy for all".
I'd be right behind this as an initiative.
This way we take every other road user with us and suddenly the voter base is huge.
Con here it is, your idea/slogan.
Get to work.

I did mention this ages ago... There is sufficient 'evidence' if you use the same method as used to collate bike related 'evidence' for TPTB to push for high performance cars, V8's Evo, WRX, Skylines etc to be given the same 'high ACC levy' as a motorcyclist... That would create a bit of whinging from the 'other side' and I would be 'happy'? to pay my $500+ knowing that they are also suffering the same.

Jeez Mark, that's a great hypothesis.
Can we test it?

Trust me, it's already been tested.

Can we test it again?

Thanks to those who have come up with ideas relating to the initial question/issue/posting.

To the rest; what part of trying to come up with a slogan/message/vision to unite bikers did you find hard???

Point being: I was not wanting to start yet again a thread with arguing re ACC, why we can not agree on things, why we should just pull our pants down and die etc.

Please use your brain/knowledge/experience and give this your best shot!

Please...
