    MOTO-NZ: Gareth is gone, business as usual. Move on, nothing to see here

    Interim chair for Motorcycle Safety Advisory Council
    Friday, 9 November 2012, 4:36 pm
    Press Release: New Zealand Government

    Hon Judith Collins
    Minister for ACC

    9 November 2012 Media Statement
    Interim chair appointed to Motorcycle Safety Advisory Council

    ACC Minister Judith Collins has today announced Mr Paul Searancke has been appointed to the role of interim Chair of the Motorcycle Safety Advisory Council (MSAC).

    Mr Searancke replaces Dr Gareth Morgan, Chair of the Council since its inception in January 2011, who has stepped down to focus on other commitments.

    “I would like to thank Dr Morgan, who is a passionate advocate for motorcyclists’ safety. Dr Morgan was instrumental in establishing the Council’s objectives and processes for developing and recommending targeted projects to ACC,” says Ms Collins.

    “Mr Searancke is an equally passionate advocate, who I’m sure will draw on his considerable experience and expertise to help guide appropriate projects to fruition,” Ms Collins says.

    Ms Collins is also calling for nominations for the role of permanent Chair.
    “To register your interest, please contact the MSAC Secretariat at info@motonz.org.nz,” Ms Collins says.

    Biography – Mr Searancke

    Mr Searancke is the former deputy Chair of the MSAC. His background roles and activities include:

    • Commissioner responsible for non-competitive motorcycle activities within Motorcycling NZ
    • Member of the Health and Safety Commission
    • Driving force behind the development of an MNZ Coaching/Training programme for motorcyclists, in conjunction with Sport NZ, Sport Tasman and ACC
    • Member of the NZ Transport Agency Industry Consultative Group reviewing motorcycle rider licensing and testing requirements.

    Keep in mind they are the ACC owned loby group with motorcyclists not the other way around.

    Good news that fucking muppet is gone, short of buying a bus for the next chair to run us down with, I doubt we could do much worse.

    How busy is Stoney these days?

    Or better yet, Drew for president!

    Sport Tasman? Aren't they the crowd who teach cops to do U-Turns in the Buller Gorge?
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Thumbs up

    You wallies given any thought to the idea that he simply couldn't stomach ACC's directives???
    Lets not forget that MOTO NZ is ACC's baby, not a lobby group for bikers, so please don't expect anything sensible to come from it at all.
    Every day above ground is a good day!:

    After reading a few of his opinion pieces (which had no official affiliation with motonz) I think he was in complete agreement with ACC's directives.
