What's registration cost in SA? Isn't that where all backpackers seem to register their vehicles when they come over?

recieved this todayDear Mr Johnston



I am responding on behalf of Andrew Stoner, Shadow Minister for Roads, to your email about the increase in cost of CTP green slips in NSW.



From 1 July, nearly 500,000 riders in NSW will have to deal with new green slip charges.



Green slips and other extra taxes and charges that accompany insurance premiums have been a great source of revenue for cash-strapped NSW Labor Government.



When Labor increased the green slip levy as a result of the addition of the Medical Care and Injury Services [MCIS] Levy in 2006, Morris Iemma said it would cost members of the community only $20. It is now running as high as 50% of CTP premiums.



In 2010-11, the NSW Government’s Motor Accident Authority has a projected deficit of $18.2 million. This deficit is a direct result of legislation the State Labor Government introduced last year. This is why you will have to pay more for your green slip levy from 1 July.



From our understanding, the increases in CTP green slips for motorcycles will be more than 85 % in some cases. This will cost you up to $470 a year.



Kristina Keneally’s Labor Government’s vision for our roads network involves more fines, more taxes and higher premiums but no new roads.



Motorists and riders are already being hit with higher tolls, rising power and water costs and other cost of living pressures. These increases in CTP green slip charges will certainly not help.



The NSW Liberals & Nationals understand your frustration and are investigating alternatives to this unreasonable price hike in close consultation with the Motorcycle Council of NSW.



We will continue to keep you updated.



Kind regards

The MCC of NSW is meeting with Andrew Stoner, the MAA and others in the next few days to discuss this issue. I will keep you all informed.

With respect - Andrew Stoner is not in government.

Would not a meeting with THE Minister be more productive ?

With respect back, which one? Seriously read my post again... I stated "...others..."

As I posted, I will keep this Forums Members advised on what we discover.

[6maniac]

Does that mean you are meeting the Minister for Transport ?

Also - was there consultation with MCC of NSW before the increases were announced ?

[Gosling1]

Ron - lets wait for Buckets to have the meeting and then provide us with the details.

The reality in NSW is that you guys may only have to live with the Kenneally Puppet Show for not much longer....

I know how cash-strapped this government is - the bastards sent me a demand for $500 to pay a $147 fine that I paid back in 2005............and yet 5 years later the cnuts send me a letter of demand for $500 !!!! FMD that is just bullshit.

Hopefully you can prove payment or they will screw you. I think they even go as far as making you unlicenced in NSW...

[Gosling1]

They can try as hard as they like mate, I am happy for them to spend thousands proving that I *didn't* pay it !

[mike-s]

I read on another forum that one guy was hit with one of these letters.... ten years afterwards for about $700 or so. His bank statements didn't go that far back, and even the banks archives department couldn't help. As he couldn't prove it was paid despite being excessively long ago, he ended up getting all sorts of advice (lawyers, accountants, you name it, he asked) and as it was a debt to the government coffers and not just another party (in which case the debt could legally be wiped) unfortunately he had to cough up.
