Over 550 New Zealand bikers got together to protest against the Govenment’s proposed hike on ACC levies.
Under the proposed levies, owners of bikes over 610cc will have their annual ACC levy increase from $252.
69 to $745.
77, for medium-sized bikes the increase would be from $252 to $511 and moped owners would face a $257 levy.
What surprised us wasn’t the the numbers of bikers in the protest, but the fact that ACC minister Nick Smith met with the protesters and there wasn’t any police or secret service guys hanging around, something that would have never happened here in Italy.
