Why is the Maori Party supporting ACC bill?

[paturoa]

I'm just structurring up an email myself to him.

Here is my draft...... what do you think (ignore the spelling)?

>>>>>>>>>>>>

In your speech regarding the Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation, and Compensation Amendment Bill, you state that "The March 2008 report of Statistics New Zealand revealed that Māori have significantly higher injury rates by occupation, with 155 injuries per 1000 fulltime-equivalent workers, compared with 111 for Pākehā. It is higher particularly in occupations such as agriculture, fisheries, manufacturing, and trades. There are also significantly more injuries in lower-paid occupations, where Māori are overrepresented."

The obvious point you are making is that this is not right, and I agree.

I wish to bring to your attention the proposed Motorcycles Levy changes, where there are significant increases, that ACC states are primarily driven by higher injury rates, claims rates and costs as they are overrepresented compared to other road users.

Note that it is ACC's position is that this is appropriate, fair and reasonable, in their proposal documents, media statements and nationwide news paper advertisements.

So if indeed we argree that Maori are dissproportionally impacted, as are motorcyclists, then the parallels are obvious, the conclusions are simply unpalatable.

This leads us to the absurd, where, were we to accept ACC's position regarding Motorcyclists is appropriate, then their position should also be that Maori should pay higher levies than non-Maori.

Can you please let me know your position on the proposed Motorcycle levy increases.

Cheers ears etc

ANNNND, we're off...
Divisive bullshit again.
It's a National Party proposal. I say again, A National Party proposal....
But lets not let that get in the way eh?

Ironic you should say that while defending a divisive political party.

[Mudfart]

theres nothing wrong with MMP. It was well known that if National was elected, their partner in crime was going to be the maori party.
Would we be better off if all the retards who voted national, only had national making the rules? hell no! the ACC levy would already be in effect! Our prisons, hospitals, and universities would already be privatised.
And I would be on a plane to oz.
In some states you can ride a 650 on learners.
No, the problem lies in voting National in, in the first place.
It just shows the retarded, backward hicks there are in this country..... "I voted National simply because Labour had been in too long".
Lets forget THINKING about our vote, and INFORMED choices.

You are 100% correct. It's a national party proposal. That the Maori party are supporting... At the cost of their own people. See the irony in that?

I agree with NONONO.

Seems to me this thread is just an excuse for gratuitous racism.

Let's not forget the Maori Party is a political organisation - they are hardly representative of their own paople and (like National) don't necessarily have "their own people's interests" in mind

If anyone's trolling surely it is the OP.

All things considered to me the Maori party is an excuse for gratuitous racism and agreed, talking with Maori blokes round here they dont seem to have there own peoples interests in mind nor voice many of thems opinions.

Perhaps - It's hard to know what the fuck those bastards stand for....however, National Party voting bikers have got absolutely no cause to complain - they are getting exactly what they asked for

I must have missed it. Show me the gratuitous racism.

My brown arse does not support them either.
But threads like this always seem to end up bashing.
At the wash up they will have some big questions to answer, to a lot of people.
My point was to keep the focus where it belongs.

Fair call though to be honest i dont think a vote would have mattered,someone fucked up and as it doesnt grow on trees once again it us thaty pays.

Wouldn't expect you to pick up on it - to you it's apparently normal:

ACC is for white mofo's bro

Again,fair call.And well put.

dpex, I don't think Tourists are covered by ACC. I think they get given a bill if they go to Hospital.

I think only NZ residents are covered? Perhaps someone could clarify?

[NONONO]

Tourists medical bills are covered, but they can't get a compo payout...
