Rego LabelsPosted in Licencing & RegistrationFriday, 30 September 2011 |
|
I hope you saw our News article during the week. The NSW Government has commissioned a review of the need for registration labels for vehicles with a GVM up to 4.5 tonnes. The report and recommendations are to be provided to the government by the end of the year. Who knows, maybe when your rego is due next year, you will not need to replace the rego label.

Sydney Cycleways...again.Posted in Sydney CBD CyclewaysWednesday, 17 August 2011 |
| What is it with the new cycleways in the Sydney CBD? Last night I was stopped in traffic on the corner of College & William Streets. I watched 7 cyclists weave through the traffic, splitting lanes in College Street, yet the adjoining cycleway was empty. Surely, where there is a cycleway the cyclists should not be allowed to ride on the road, otherwise get rid of the cycleway. Add a comment |

Allianz At-Fault Driver CoverPosted in GreenslipsThursday, 14 July 2011 |
| Five of the seven greenslip insurers offer at-fault driver cover as an additional feature with greenslips, in addition to the legislated requirements. On this site we identified issues in the policy wording used by the insurers which meant that whilst they promoted the benefits of at-fault driver cover, technically no such benefits were payable. After more than two years, Allianz, the last of the insurers to rectify the policy wording has finally done so. Add a comment |

Pure, unadulterared greed!Posted in GreenslipsThursday, 07 July 2011 |
| Just got my greenslip renewal and it has jumped by a MASSIVE $221.00! The excuse is that the MCIS is now listed separately - so what, sisnce when does it cost $221.00 to create a separate column on a greenslip? Whilst I understand and support the MCIS, where has this HUGE price hike come from? There has been no advisory that prices were going up, ONLY that it would be listed separately. First carbon tax... now this. How on earth are families supposed to afford to register their vehicles? Seriously... did I fall asleep and wake up in Greece? It appears that my motoring dollar has inflated by 33% in an instant. I didn't cause the floods, I don't push people out in front of cars, I don't push people's foot to the floor or make them drink and get behind the well. I'm lucky, I can afford to pay this - I HAVE to so I can drive to work so I can pay my private medical insurance, my taxes and soon the carbon tax - but what about people who can't. So much for 'I love a sunburnt country'... the ony thing that is burning at the moment is my budget... Add a comment |

Government Mandated ProfitsPosted in GreenslipsWednesday, 06 July 2011 |
| It may be that I don't understand properly.... this is what I see. The CTP scheme is a way to fund healthcare for people injured in road accidents right? Healthcare is primarily provided by the state and CTP is mandated by the state to pay for it. So basically CTP is a tax- except that insurance companies get to collect it and keep a big chunk of it before passing it on to the state. Why not just make it part of the rego cost and cut out the private profits on what is essentially tax collection? Is the insurance industry lobby that strong? I'd vote for a political party on that point alone. Just seems like another aspect of the institutionalized corruption of NSW that makes it so expensive to live here. Add a comment |
