Reduced ACC car levy rates just a click away

Reduced ACC car levy rates just a click away

ACC Minister Nikki Kaye and Associate Transport Minister Craig Foss say car owners can now visit the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) RightCar website to see the reduced ACC levy they’ll pay from 1 July, when ACC introduces risk rating.

“From 1 July, all car owners will pay a reduced ACC annual licence levy,” says Ms Kaye.

“Levies will also reflect how safe a car is in a crash, and the RightCar site makes it easy to see the specific levy that will apply to your vehicle.

“The levy for petrol cars rated as least safe will fall from around $198 to $158, a cut of around $40. The levy for cars rated the safest falls significantly to $68, a cut of around $130.

“Risk rating is about encouraging awareness of safer vehicles, and making levies more fairly reflect the risk of injury.”

Mr Foss says new information has been added to the RightCar website to coincide with ACC’s introduction of risk rating.

“All you need to do is visit the site and enter your car’s number plate. You can then access full details of your vehicle licensing fee, including the ACC levy details.

“This is a great example of government agencies working together to provide better public services.

“ACC and NZTA have also worked together in the lead-up to the change, alerting car owners to the option of relicensing their vehicle for a shorter time period.

“This enables car owners to makes the most of the ACC levy reductions when they kick in on 1 July.”

Gordon Campbell: On Dune 2, And Images Of Islam


Depictions of Islam in Western popular culture have rarely been positive, even before 9/11. Five years on from the mosque shootings, this is one of the cultural headwinds that the Muslim community has to battle against. Whatever messages of tolerance and inclusion are offered in daylight, much of our culture tends to be hostile to Islam when we’re sitting in the dark, with popcorn.
Any number of movie examples come to mind, beginning with Rudolf Valentino’s role (over a century ago) as the romantic Arab hero in The Sheik...
