ZVOKUBVA MUNYAYA INO:
- “Ndakakumbira ACC kuti itarise magadzirirwo emutero chaiwo kuzvipatara zvakazvimirira kuitira kuti mari dzenjodzi dzinobva mukurapwa kuNew Zealand dzizadziswe neveindasitiri kwete vamwe vekuNew Zealand.
- I am very reluctant to go down that path because then every New Zealander is going to be worried that if they have a car accident and it involves an international tourist then they are opening themselves up to the risk of legal action.
- Wage earners will lose hundreds of dollars a year from their pay packets as the ACC levy rises, and hikes in car and motorcycle registrations are introduced to counter the rising cost of providing ACC.
