Just fired one off. Good idea.

[TOTO]

Oh just seen you added the whole list. I sent to all of them now.

Edit: should we e-mail labour too ?

[Slicksta]

Just sent an email to acc and my local national MP.
If they do this I think it will become a better option not to register my bike at all.

[FIDH]

Done. I suggested perhaps we can offset the ACC levy increase with carbon credits for motorcycles.

[TOTO]

I got this response:

On behalf of the Prime Minister, Hon John Key, thank you for your email.

Please note that although email increases the speed of delivery, it may not be possible to provide you with the rapid response users of email may anticipate.

The fact that you have taken the time to write is appreciated. You can be assured that your views have been noted.

Yours sincerely

The Office of the Prime Minister

I got this response:

I got that too.

Heh. They are going to have a fun day tomorrow getting through all this shit. Will probably be flooded with phone calls too.

Serves 'em right. Fuckers.

[Molly]

Me too. Here's mine:


Good morning.

Re: ACC increases

I own several motorcycles and ride for relaxation. My favourite of these is a large and somewhat lumbering Harley Davidson. The bikes are my passion I suppose and the three-thousand or so kilometres per year I do are confined to sunny weekends, occasional summer evenings and social events. Indeed, I would recommend riding as a welcome distraction from the sometimes stressful working day.

Though I can think of no less a risk to themselves or others than my forty-something frame pootling around the countryside I today find these three-thousand kilometres are about to cost me an additional $500 per year in ACC fees per bike owned. By any measure this is an unfair, unbalanced and ill-considered increase. I might point out that I am only able to ride one bike at a time so my risk is no greater if I own one or twenty bikes (though, quite unfairly, my ACC contribution varies proportionately).

Could I ask you to please use your position to voice the anger felt today by thousands of motorcyclists who feel this increase is grossly unfair? Today we feel like a minority group who have been bullied and attacked by an oafish and ignorant authority.

Thank you.
