ACC Protest, 1 September, Wellington

[Hitcher]

There's some great discussion happening here. Discussion that should have been had to agree the basis of any "protest" before that protest took place.

Yes, let's keep discussing the basis of protest, has been done on numerous previous threads, it is good that we can all discuss these things so well and it gives the stooges more opportunity to derail any change that as a group we will ever do anything, especially at a time while the pollies are running around polishing their egos.

OR we could take a leaf from the book of the anti-caged farming and other numerous groups that have decided that an election run up is just the right time to tell the politicians that there is a group of voters that are upset enough to get of the collective arses. Remember politicians like us to be compliant and for NZer's to do anything but be compliant is a worry to all politicians and their masters.

As ACC is about the vehicle driver/rider surely it would make sense ( but less money) for it to be levied on your licence not your vehicle.
They could make payable on the highest risk say for example , motorcycles.
This would then cover you for lower rated vehicles.
The licence holder could then opt if they no longer rode motorcycle to have that removed.
That may help reduce the amount of returnees who buy powerful bikes that they are not really up to riding, if this is indeed the case until they did training and bought a LAMS bike.
Previously it may have been " too hard" to administer, but to register on line you need your licence anyway, so would be easy to set up.

But clearly its about getting as much money as you can by the easiest means.

I'm not against paying a fair amount, its paying it on multiple vehicles and the GST on what it not really goods or service than annoy me.

[Trade_nancy]

Absolute sense from you Voltaire....I nominate you as leader.

[Drew]

Given a fair go, he'd get it done.
Wasn't all STONEY, but hell, he made things happen that others could not even dream of.

Yeah. Like being the biggest tool.

[bogan]

Yeah. Like being the biggest tool.

To be fair, he got the boot from motonz for not being a big enough tool though.

I find that, very hard to believe.

[caseye]

He's a friend of mine, has been for a very long time, he didn't cow tou to Morgan and co and got booted by none other than NS for continuing to pass on the councils decisions to us here at KB and anywhere else that showed an actual interest.

[Drew]

He's a hothead, that goes off half cocked. Trust me, I know a thing or two about being a hothead.

[caseye]

Really!.
I'd neva have thunked it Drew, knot you.
Yes he is I ain't going to deny that, nor am I going to let the chance to perhaps shed a little light on a subject a lot here don't or never knew about.
Your opinion is yours, I'm not going to try to change it.
But I am going to look out for my mate where I can.

[Swoop]

And of course those who manage to crash their bikes all on their own without any outside assistance should have their levy doubled for life and be banned at the same time.

Well, that's GSXR's fucked then!

[Berries]

Well, that's GSXR's fucked then!

GN1000R will be ok though.

[Flip]

Well I am calling this one as a hoax.

[GTRMAN]

Well I am calling this one as a hoax.

No hoax Phil

No hoax Phil

I havent seen any supporting documentation other than a couple of posts by a KB newby saying that it is on. There is nothing on any of the Bronz web pages who was reported as being the organising body.

If there is any media/web page/or any thing else that supports this not being a hoax I would like to see it before I book leave to turn up. Failing that if it is brown and smells like a turd it is probably a turd.
