Yeah, the QLD ALP is clutching at straws in a very clumsy attempt to undermine Newman. Newman is 100% right - they have frozen REGISTRATION fees for three years from July 1. That is all the government can control. INsurance is entirely out of the government's control. That this extremely simple fact escapes the Leftards shows just how little grasp on reality they have.

Perhaps Newman should have been more specific.  Third party insurance is a compulsory part of car rego.  I think most people would group the two together in the phrase "car registration costs".


I think most people with half a brain would know that when a government talks about freezing car registration fees the government is referring to fees it controls - namely the actual vehicle registration fee set by the government. Insurance is not set by the government. If you Leftards cannot comprehend that, then God help the lot of you.

I understand it.  I am just saying many might not.  And I doubt they are mostly leftards considering Newman is now in power  Wink


Yes but this is politics and he said rego costs would freeze. Any increase no matter what the reason cause or context is an immediate default and now he is lying to get out of it. Just imposing the Abbott method to the subject.


You just shot down your own argument in flames. Rego costs are not rising - they will freeze from July 1. Newman never said he'd freeze insurance costs as well, because he can't. There's no lie, no deception. There's only cry-baby Leftards not coping with the fact that Labor is dead in QLD.


I love the dim they are so funny. Any cost change not matter why or what is an increase to the rego costs of a vehicle. He lied about something he could not control and is now using detail to bullsh1t everyone. It will not stick anymore Abbott stuffed that for ever.

Campbell Newman by using the word COSTS ie plural
in his promise, has implied all the cost's involved in car rego,
Not just the Gov rego part.

Quote:
QUEENSLAND treasurer Tim Nicholls says the state will not sign up to the federal government's current model of the National Injury Insurance Scheme (NIIS), which could push up car registration by up to $100.

The Liberal National Party (LNP) had promised during the election to freeze car registration but that pledge is now under assault by the proposed NIIS.

Mr Nicholls said the federal government wants the states to help fund the NIIS, which intends to cover the lifetime care and support needs for all people who experience catastrophic injury.

He said the plan would increase the compulsory third party insurance (CTP) costs on Queensland registration up by between $80 and $100.

Mr Nicholls said Queensland will not agree and will ask the federal government to reconsider how it funds the scheme.

"We won't agree to do it in this way ... if it means increasing car registrations and CTP because we have promised to freeze them," Mr Nicholls told AAP.....


Here is the QLD Liberal Treasurer saying that the commitment was to maintain the cost of rego + Insurance.

I think most people with half a brain would know that

Whoopsy  The Qld Treasurer lacks 50% of a brain according to AP?

Like most Liberals they think they can have it both ways.

I think you and Newman are forgetting that there are dummies on the left that have a complete different logic on most things in life and especially dictatorship.

They would automatically assume that all things are up for control. There is nothing the commies cant dictate in their minds.

You may have to agree to disagree, or go mad.

See what I mean about the logic.

The article says :
"The Liberal National Party (LNP) had promised during the election to freeze car registration but that pledge is now under assault by the proposed NIIS. "

Does not say CTP or insurance of any kind.

the rest of the article talks about not agreeing to a scheme that could push up insurance cost by blah blah.

So what we have is, freeze rego and not agree to something that would push up the cost of insurance.

To most of us, progs, "them" means plural. It seems the promise extended to the whole cost of the registration. It now makes some sense that Labor has jumped on the rising cost of insurance. The author of the article also seems convinced compulsory third party insurance was part of the pledge. My apologies to the Labor leader, it seems quite a few people were given the "wrong" impression.

Quote:
[Greg Milne from the Motor Trades Association of Queensland said the State Government should absorb any increase in CTP so there was a "true freeze on registration fees".

"We would say there's an expectation among motorists that they won't be paying any more for their car registration because of the commitment made by the LNP during the election campaign," he said.

"Any increase to registration fees will just confirm that politicians are playing word games again."


For those of us who live outside Queensland, this might help explain why Queenslanders have this expectation.

Quote:
Where QLD differs from NSW, and perhaps other states, is that we receive a registration renewal notice that is inclusive of CTP. We do not have to obtain a green slip or equivalent in addition to paying the registration levy. Due to the one stop shop nature of registration in QLD, it's my contention that most motorists would expect that a freeze on registration would mean a total freeze on all compulsory components of registration (rightly or wrongly). This is especially true when comments such as those made by the Transport Minister, which are ambiguous at best, are taken into account.

"We won't agree to do it in this way ... if it means increasing car registrations and CTP because we have promised to freeze them," Mr Nicholls told AAP.....


Here is the QLD Liberal Treasurer saying that the commitment was to maintain the cost of rego + Insurance.

I think most people with half a brain would know that

Whoopsy  The Qld Treasurer lacks 50% of a brain according to AP?

Like most Liberals they think they can have it both ways.

See what I mean about the logic.

The article says :
"The Liberal National Party (LNP) had promised during the election to freeze car registration but that pledge is now under assault by the proposed NIIS. "

Does not say CTP or insurance of any kind.

the rest of the article talks about not agreeing to a scheme that could push up insurance cost by blah blah.

So what we have is, freeze rego and not agree to something that would push up the cost of insurance.


if it means increasing car registrations and CTP
because we have promised to freeze
them

THe Liberal Treasurer of QLD does not agree with you.

Here is Scott Emerson's problem. Before the election he wanted to make Labor accountable for the whole cost of registering a car, which he promised to freeze. This is from his web page.

http://www.scottemerson.com.au/Page-5.html

Quote:
“Under Campbell Newman, an LNP Government will freeze family car registration for its first term to help Queenslanders deal with a squeeze on their income.

“It’s time to slam the handbrake on massive increases for everyday essentials,” he said.

Since 2008, the cost to register an average family car has risen by 32 per cent. It will now cost the average family $805.30 to register a six-cylinder family sedan.

I think most people with half a brain would know that when a government talks about freezing car registration fees the government is referring to fees it controls - namely the actual vehicle registration fee set by the government. Insurance is not set by the government. If you Leftards cannot comprehend that, then God help the lot of you.

QUEENSLAND treasurer Tim Nicholls says the state will not sign up to the federal government's current model of the National Injury Insurance Scheme (NIIS), which could push up car registration by up to $100.

The Liberal National Party (LNP) had promised during the election to freeze car registration but that pledge is now under assault by the proposed NIIS.

Mr Nicholls said the federal government wants the states to help fund the NIIS, which intends to cover the lifetime care and support needs for all people who experience catastrophic injury.

He said the plan would increase the compulsory third party insurance (CTP) costs on Queensland registration up by between $80 and $100.

Mr Nicholls said Queensland will not agree and will ask the federal government to reconsider how it funds the scheme.

As usual, you skew the facts to suit your point of view. The issue of the pre-election promise to freeze rego fees and the NIIS are completely separate. The Newman govt has promised to freeze rego fees and delivered on that promise as of July 1. The issue of the NIIS was that QLD could not agree to it in its current form as it would increase the cost of rego's and CTP's. How is the Newman govt's stance anything but positive for QLD voters?
