    In a no-fault scheme there should be NO divisions. It should matter not what I do. As far as ACC is concerned any individual should be a faceless number with no hint of who they are. This is the only way to maintain true equality and fairness.

    I'll say it again as it seems to be falling on deaf ears - the ONLY fair way to fund ACC is through income tax.

    Absolutely, like national health insurance in the U.K - everyone pays a small amount whether they are a beneficiary or a CEO.

    It ain't gonna happen though - the agenda of this bunch of bastards always has and always will be privatisation.....New Zealanders wanted a "change" - well here it is

    Heh. That was idleidolidyll, dude.

    I should note that he got the single loudest and most supportive response to any point made at the meeting, too.

    A star-studded evening, eh?

    Perhaps Les should've stipulated that anyone who was famous on the internet had to introduce themselves by their online handle when they stood up.

    And yeah, that RNZ chick was really oozing negative vibes. I didn't realise what she was all about until nearly at the end. I actually spent most of the meeting rudely standing right in front of her because I assumed that the made-up girl with no motorcycle gear must've been some sort of hired help who'd stuck around to watch.

    Idleidolidyll is right that action needs to be drastic and maximally disruptive, but James Deuce is also right in suggesting that kiwis don't have the spine to do what it takes

    Well, I dunno about you, but I fuckin well do.

    Let's just get on with planning the action to be took, eh? I suspect that the number of spines that come out of the woodwork will be a pleasant surprise.

    Let's seriously up the ante...

    Big protest ride to the hive, public burning of our rego labels and everyone turn up just wearing a helmet and no other protective gear just jeans/shorts and t-shirts

    They think we're risky? We'll show 'em what bloody risk is

    Well being biker chicks the question now becomes:

    "do they take them off first?"

    Now, now, that is naughty. You made a huge effort to be there last night, imagine joining the riders as they filter through towards Wellington

    At the back with the troublemakers. Ang was in her red leather jacket - she stood out like a sore thumb
