ACC Levy Protest: Camping 24/25 October

[glanvillejon]

i wouldnt simply because of the distance. i can do welly there and back in a day, whereas auckland i wouldnt be able to do it. i work 7 days a week, so dont get days off. any leave i do take has to be applied for and approved. my working days job is easier to get leave from. the weekend job, as mentioned above, its like getting blood out a stone cos i am their only relief worker. even when i was sick, a day off was only grudgingly allowed.

get a new job, that sux

[sunhuntin]

get a new job, that sux

no kidding. need the money though.

[Danae]

Oh lol, new subforum

With more Due respect for you wanting to do sommit about it, the Tart is correct, it will only end in tears, anyone turning up at parliment and putting a tent up !
No one there labour weekend and the cops won't tell ya to pack up and leave twice, they'll be in with batons removing ya !!! Sort of thing you will end up having the mongrel mob backing ya in ! Just so they can blue with the cops !!!
Good on ya girl, i expect ya to be making the most noise at the organised protest, once it's organised (and it will be)

The only effective protest is to not register your bikes.It worked in France,but then the French know the meaning of solidarity.
Tossers on KB are already defending the increases.

So less people from Wanganui would be inclined to go to Auckland maybe?

I'd place a hefty bet saying that more bikes would turn up to an organised protest if it were in Auckland than if in Welly.

I don't think an occupation is a great idea unless it's really well organised and attended by a very large party (big enough to cause a major police problem trying to evict), and is done during the week while parliament is sitting.

Could we perhaps get a mod to create a locked sticky thread for "Organised Protest Actions" which just says "stay tuned" for the moment or something until BRONZ etc have had a chance to forumlate a plan of action.

I'd probably shoot up as far as Wellington for an "official" organised action.

[Danae]

If BRONZ organise something it will probably get more attention. We'll see how next week's meeting goes?

[kr250]

just dont register the fuckers,if we all leave them unregistered, and dont pay fines they are fucked

[chanceyy]

I am with Tart on this one & will happily take time off work to attend

[Insanity_rules]

may i suggest a protest in rush hour morning traffic, that moves very slowly to parliment.

objective # 1, stopping people getting to work on time which costs the country heaps.

objective # 2, blocking as many entrances to parliment as possible.

remember, parliment sit on Tue,Wed and Thurs

Yeah lets do that! Enough of us and we could shut down Wellington for quite a while.

[McDuck]

I will take part in protest rides and i will not rego the bike again while these rules are in place. We are talking about 600 bucks, that is a pair of fucking nice tyres for the kat which will keep me a lot safer than shitty acc to fix me after i crash.

[Mully]

What about Aucklandish riders ride to John Key's electorate office (via his house)?

Wellingtonish ride to Parliament?

South Island ride to Bill English's electorate office (actually, that'd be Wellington too)?

All on the same day.

i cant speak for other local riders. i can only speak for myself. i am fairly sure that south island riders would happily attend wellington, but likely wouldnt be able to make auckland. sure, there are more riders in auckland to begin with, but why make it that much harder for southern riders to attend and show their support.

[McDuck]

I am in for a ride somwhere
