ACC levy increase compromise?

**frogman3** · 12th November 2009, 13:28

I read that submissions for the ACC Levy increase closed a few days ago:

http://home.nzcity.co.nz/news/articl...newsmain,narts

Anyone from here make a submission?

So when we will hear if the Levy increase is going to go ahead or not? And shouldn't all these "biker protests" wait until they find out whether the Levy increase is actually going ahead or not?

Anyway, it doesn't look like ACC minister Nick Smith is backing down so how about we email Nick Smith and ask for a compromise? What about delaying the Levy increase for 1 year so we can save up some cash for it?

You can email Nick Smith here:

Hey frogman3 - loads of threads on this around.

Take a look through the ACC section and add your post to one of the more recent ones.

BTW: Welcome to KB

How many NZ KB members are ther VS motorcycle owners/ riders?
Are only KBers that make a difference?

This has been about the only topic of conflab on here for some months now. Even Hone Harawiras Mutherf**king thread got hijacked in favour of ACC.

Most of us have made submissions. If ACC and National go ahead there will be Labour Prime Minister next term.

480,000 New Zealanders hold a motorcycle licence - 75% of them are over 40 years of age. I'll bet most of them used to vote National....they'll be Labour voters now.

"save up for it"?

When the levy goes up, it'll be the same the year after that. (Or go higher again).

And the year after that.

And the year after that.

etc.

(Apparently will go down again when they "fill up" the residual fund [the "catch-up" for the years prior to 1999 before they started the "fully funded" model {just like the "big boy" insurance companies}.]).

So is the OP planning to "save up" 5 or 10 years worth of the new fee, over the next year?

Turning the noobies away or insulting them in KB is really going to help our cause. This isn't the Texas Forte massacre is it, not even a mcdonalds one.
