Advertised today by ACC...

....and are an excellent communicator....

Fuckin' oath.

[Smifffy]

The last strong communicator got sacked for communicating.

Where's Carver when he's needed?

It gets used then?

[Big Dave]

The two members being replaced are worn out from their constant achievements?

[Smifffy]

I'm free on the 12 Dec, I'm thinking of applying. Think they'll mind if I turn up for the interview in leathers?

I'd sponsor you.


I'm not having a shot at those that have put in either - I know some of those people and they would have a good go - just the instruments of Government.

[Big Dave]

Speaking of which - Mr Kiwi - will the Council take applications to fund other safety initiatives or projects?

Well, guess that depends on the sort of leathers



But you know what the worst thing is, I think even the guy pictured would do a better job, I mean he would at least spend the money

I mean what have we got so far, a big MSL stockpile and no levy reduction when all the other vehicles just got one right? Forgive me if I remain unimpressed.

Fixed it for you

[MSTRS:Me]

If the job pays less than $100,000pa and all expenses paid, then I wouldn't sacrifice my principles. D'you get a company credit card?

[Bald Eagle]

Part time only and the usual dishonesty. Postion description say 12 to 16 days a year, there web site shows they only had 3 meetings this year so I wouldnt give up my day job yet.

Oh - I get it - the McSack members aren't there to get rich OR to help bikers.

Would MrKiwi tell us again why this organisation exists?

[Pampera]

I note they had a meeting in September, which has been reported on their website. Two or three screens of waffle papering over nothing. Still nothing achieved, nothing worthwhile planned (they are going to give NZTA money for basic road maintenance?), no proper business plan and no set of accounts for the, presumably, millions of dollars they have collected.


How about this from Mark Gilbert; "we know changes to levies are part of a long-term process, and that any reduction for motorcyclists is likely to be some years away". I don't recall the process being "long term" when the levies were put up or we were stung $30 per motorcycle per year to fund MotoNZ. I will concede however that, based on what we have seen over the last 3 or so years, the delivery of any achievement by MotoNZ is certainly VERY long term.

It states in MotoNZ Terms of Reference that they are required to deliver action that reduces ACC motorcycle levies That levies are not being reduced after three (?) years of MotoNZ existence and Mark Gilbert has said there is no chance of this anytime soon says all that needs to be said about MotoNZ's effectiveness.

From their Terms of Reference http://motonz.org.nz/assets/ToR.pdf :

"Propose the funding of projects consistent with ACC’s legislation (i.e. be cost effective
for the ACC Motor Vehicle Scheme and demonstrate a net cost reduction in motorcycle
levies over time)."
