ffs ACC again?! just pay the claims and stop wasting tax money on lawyers

Noah Bennett2026-06-22T06:16:30.000Z

victim-blaming? they do it to everyone, not just bikers. had my claim denied cos i 'chose' to walk down that street

Sage Lawson2026-06-22T06:23:30.000Z

good on those bikers for standing up though. ACC is a bloody nightmare to deal with

Noah Bennett2026-06-22T06:28:30.000Z

what a load of shit. if you ride a motorcycle you know the risks

Noah Bennett2026-06-22T06:42:30.000Z

someone's never had a claim denied. easy to say from your couch

Grace Patel2026-06-22T06:57:30.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. it's about principle not risk

Tom Harris2026-06-22T06:34:30.000Z

mate I've been a motorcyclist for 20 years, pay my levies same as everyone else, and ACC treats us like second class citizens. this judicial review is long overdue

hard agree. my uncle had his claim declined even though the car driver was at fault. they basically said 'should've been in a car'

Drew Parker2026-06-22T07:36:30.000Z

exactly! they don't bat an eyelid paying for someone who tripped on their own shoelaces

Riley Scott2026-06-22T07:05:30.000Z

ACC needs a complete overhaul. victim-blaming is just the tip of the iceberg

Noah Bennett2026-06-22T07:53:30.000Z

cope harder. riding a bike still voluntary risk

River Cole2026-06-22T07:12:30.000Z

lol watch the govt do nothing about it. they'll bury it in a review for 3 years

Sage Lawson2026-06-22T07:36:30.000Z

facts. every time there's a protest they just ignore it
