    ...just what would be different?
    Probably nothing - just whinging from National about how corrupt nanny labour was.

Yes I know there wasn't a lot of choice when it came to voting but why on earth would someone who is not earning at least $130,000PA vote National? Do they not realise it make the lives of the poor, disenfranchised or hard-working middle to low income NZer even harder which in turn increases social problems and crime rates...DUH! At least Labour had half a conscience! Is it fair that someone like myself who owns a GSX1400 as a toy that gets rolled out of the garage maybe 8 times a year pay huge amounts of ACC $$ for the privilege of a riding a large bike on a sunny day! It is normally the incompetent car driver that causes the unsuspecting motorcyclist to come to grief anyway so they shouldn't complain about subbing the Bikers! Don't think for one minute that ACC will be the only casualty of this Government! National is for the rich remember? they think we all earn the big bucks and since the majority of the country voted them in I must conclude that is the case!! I have been riding bikes for over 25 years and I have dropped one (recently) but no insurance claims or ACC claims were involved and I have not had any ACC claims for riding my bike ever because I know I'm a target on the road and that is how I ride and that is how I stay safe! It is not fair but I suppose one could argue, what's an extra $1000 in a year when you earn $200,000pa???? Just remember to vote NATIONAL!!! Keep the working man down where he belongs!! There now that should spark a bit of healthy debate!
    Not with me sweetheart. I think I've found my KB soul mate. Yep I know Still.......................

    I like the bit about National being a rich man's govt, the bit about why would anyone vote National who is not earning $130,000 PA, and the bit about Labour having half a conscience, yep in fact I like all your post, especially the bit about your own responsibility.

    They would still be trying to work out how they miscalculated the carbon credit thing

    At least JK and his crew are smart enough to recognise a problem before it becomes a disaster.

    Sorry for my ignorance... but why is privatisation (or opening ACC up to competition) a bad thing? I'm not trying to be facetious... I honestly want to know...

    Most of our insurances are provided for by private companies, so what's different about accident insurance?

    debatable reasons are costs of accident insurance it may cost you more than ACC... it may not, I don't know...

    One advantage though is I will be able to drip feed it every pay instead of one lump sum in my rego... (if I could do that with my rego probably wouldn't be so bad) but still its that same old argument of no fault, and this price hike is saying we are at fault...

    One extra cost i could think of off the top of my head is (yes just as ignorant to be honest) i would have to have a liability insurance to ride my bike on the track !! Just one that regular insurance wouldnt cover !

    Hmmm... none of these are insurmountable, really... Competition means we get to choose our providers, from competing companies, which has to be a good thing right? As long as there's some government regulation to ensure that people are still covered to current levels on a no faults basis etc? Like how kiwisaver is a governement scheme, but uses commercial companies to asctually manage the money.

    This way, we might get some specialist biker ACC providers that do a good deal for bikers etc, like current specialist bike insurers...

    And if one company say... decides to increase premiums by 300%, we could say, "Stuff you", and switch providers... Much better, no?
