Of course I went.

The National party came in on a platform of lower taxation. First thing they do that actually affects me is to treble my ACC levies. $500/yr extra, post tax so more like $800/yr pre. This takes my bike registration fees to around $900/yr - getting beyond what I can reasonably pay for such a wholly egotistical piece of transport. Realistically this means I need to sell the bike, wearing a huge loss because the market price of bikes over 600cc has just plummeted for a very "Adam Smith" reason, and buy a car. Another car. To make traffic worse, block up the road and prevent you from getting from A to B.

Bastards. No more bike. Thank you government. I won't be forgetting.
