Wellington motorbike owners took the opportunity to give the National Party a rev up again this evening over the proposed hikes to ACC levies.
National supporters attending the annual Ohariu electorate cocktail party were not expecting the protest.
Brent Hutchison, protest organiser, says the issue though isn't just about motorcyclists, as the increases will affect all New Zealanders.
"The more that we examine the statistics, the numbers, the more we see Nick Smith blatantly lying to us, then the more obvious it is that ACC is being prepared for private sale, and New Zealanad is going to lose the greatest asset that we have and that's protection of our workforce," he says.
The levy proposals are currently before Cabinet.
