Close Up tonight (22 October)

**THundy** · 22nd October 2009, 18:11

Basically were screwed....The govt and ACC have made their mind up...that never listen to any of the arguements, acc are getting shit from govt, they respond by hitting any small groups and everyone is happy....
My gut tells me I will be paying $850 a year to have my bike legal...
Pissed off!!!! yes, hikoi!!! no, won't do anything. We need legal guys to lobby govt..and the BRONZ guy isn't good enough sorry!

Well done Les. Calmed the congestion fears somewhat and had Mr. ACC floundering

All coming along nicely.

Horaay 4 the BRONZ representitive. Pity the ACC Gentleman shy'd away from the last answer and deviated to stats, which when received should shed a heap of light on the maths and perhaps have ACC review their approach!!!

$3300 each year in costs . Ok well dont we pay bout 45% for each litre of gas we buy in taxes , i rego'ed my car the other week and the majority of that is tax and what we pay already pay tax/acc . Chances are we are paying more than the $3300 stated . Why dont they publically release the figures .

Les owned ACC

Fecking brilliant. Hung the ACC fella using his own figures. Awesome work Ixion. I take back all the bad things I ever thought about you.
(Perhaps we need a T shirt with his face on it?!)

Joe public would have a different view of the close up interview...they believe the suits! BRONZ guy is doing something at least, but get real...100,000 maori hikoied for weeks and got diddly squat...

Quite frankly, McLea looked as though he wouldn't know the difference between shit and putty until his windows fell out

I concur.

(Where were the figure re off-road, quads etc prangs being collectively called 'motor-bike crashes'?? While Mr ACC's figures may be accurate I'd love to see where they came from)

Good Job Lesinator!
You're so forceful! Hopefully you can get that raw data!!! Also the congestion re-assurance was a smart moooove!
