Summary
Hundreds of motorcyclists flooded Christchurch’s High Court to protest ACC’s planned levy hikes, arguing the increases are legally flawed—not unfair to pay, but unjustly imposed. Led by Mark Chapple, riders challenge whether ACC and the Minister followed proper procedures for levies 2025–2028, demanding an immediate freeze until legality is reviewed. Frustration boils over engine-based pricing: why do bikes face higher costs based on cc, while high-powered cars don’t? One rider, injured on a small bike, now pays more for riding a larger one—while a V12 Lamborghini owner faces no such burden. This isn’t new; a similar Auckland protest occurred in May.
