New ACC motorcycle levies confirmed

[k2w3]

Not only that, but as we drift away with weaker protests, it's much easier for them to introduce another $100 increase next year. It'll only be a small percentage increase, after all. Easy sell.

Lets do it!!
Rolling road blocks!!

Would like to know how much the average wage earner would lose over a year with these new figures. The media mentioned before around $500, is that still the case?

We are not drifting away. There will continue to be local activity during December and January and watch the threads. More significant action is in early planning for when the pollies come back from their holidays.

We said before we where angry now we are bloody furious and we will be coming back in our thousands.

Bastards!

If we stop protesting now the Government will know how to roll bikers and motorists every time.
Zero increase was the target - lets still go for it!
Who are these so called biker spoke persons that are quoted by the media saying we have had a victory....utter bull shit.
We will not win until we get the result we originally wanted. Who wants to be a looser?

The capacity thing has to be scrapped,total bullshit.

what other vehicle pays by capacity?

[caseye]

Ixion? what was! said? please.

[Ixion]

Eh? What? Where?

[riffer]

Eh? What? Where?

Yeah I'm confused too.

Why are you quoted as saying that motorcyclists could live with the increases?

I'm not happy.

[avgas]

Ooo, maybe a few pointed comments about the origin of the cc limits in the previous proposal went in. I still think it telegraphs a move to a 125cc learner law.

Sweet. If they did that I would actually even consider paying the extra ACC costs.

[avgas]

Multiple ownership just means more revenue which is more likely the reason they havent looked at it. I own 3x650 singles.. i scrape into higher levies with low powered bikes. I am very peeved.

Frack totally forgot about this

[NONONO]

Sorry Ixion, but this is such a load of bollocks.
What we now have is the figure that was actually decided on when this bullshit started. If we had simply rolled over and accepted 700 odd dollars then Nick, the Nats and ACC would have simply laughed their balls off and took us to the bank. We did'nt they simply reduce the over inflated first option to the one they had in mind initially. I believe you have mentioned this in some other posts.
If we accept this, we are simply the fools they believe us to be.
Keep the focus on Smith cos Judge can't be hit, he's the civil servant with job protection and he could give a shit.
The phony war is over, now are we ready for the real war?

[Squiggles]

Yeah I'm confused too.

livable as opposed to acceptable perhaps?
e.g. As a student i could now afford to pay the increased levy, but i dont accept the increase so wont...

same here, I could find the money, but at the expense of other things, hopefully would still be able to maintain the bike properly and have up to date safety gear...

[phred]

Wrong result Nick!
No justification for CC splits.
Motorcycles still being Targetted.
ACC still being privatised
Still a bigger increase than cages.

Issue is still live Protests must continue.
