Federated Farmers Asking for Trouble from ACC
Federated Farmers Asking for Trouble from
ACC
Libertarianz Leader Russell Watkins called upon Federated Farmers Vice President Charlie Pederson to 'stop trying to work out a better deal with ACC' as Charlie says he is attempting. Instead, says Watkins, "he should treat ACC like the scum that they are, and demand a complete removal of all state interference and compulsion from the insurance business."
Mr Watkins advises Mr Pederson that "you can't negotiate on equal terms with an organisation that demands you accept its terms by force." Watkins says that ACC are not interested in a 'fair deal' for farmers: "They are interested only in keeping their snouts in the trough - a trough filled with the money the government steals from farmers and other taxpayers."
Watkins
concludes " If Mr Pederson wants to better represent his
members, I suggest he doesn't do any deals with the thieves
at ACC. Make a stand instead, and tell ACC to bugger off!"
