NSW CTP Insurance increase rally

[Christian Raith]

This was lifted from the BA Group newsletter

Details are now: Macquarie Street (outside Parliament House) and the
protest goes from noon.

Police have been advised and the official approvals have been sought and
obtained.

Right now there are no plans for a group or mass "ride in".  The MCC is
saying just get there yourself. It is possible that organised ride-ins
will be advised closer to the event.

I think the MCC has no idea of numbers.  Anyone definitely going to be
there could email the MCC to help their planning.

Things have been happening at MCC (Motorcycle Council) which is the
group representing the motorcycle clubs in NSW.

They have been meeting with other groups from the Motor Industry and
Government bodies, primarily about the screwy way CTP has been set.
Basically MAA got it wrong, basing it on crash data instead of claims data.

Plenty of detail on MCC's site www.mccofnsw.org.au
<http://www.mccofnsw.org.au/> if you want. Including letters to write
and addresses to send to.

HOWEVER, the main point is that there is a protest rally planned for August 31st - the day NSW Parliament gets back to work (work!).

Let's put up a good, strong, united front.

Please take the time now to decide to be there. MCC Press Release is
below. Try to think about how you'll dress and how we'll present
ourselves, we want to be taken seriously by boring people like the
Pollies...
