Dont talk to me about being ripped off. Has anyone else noticed all the Mother Fxxxxers ramping up everything.
Yesterday I got my rates notice and its gone up by $600, my electricity bill has almost doubled and the icing on the cake came today when I went to buy a green slip for my Falcon. Last one I bought through AAMI was $350. This one is nearly $600.
They changed there pricing policy so now you get charged more because you dont have your car comprehensively insured.
I said OK whats it going to cost to insure the car for $1000? They came back with $500.
I am so over getting screwed.
Why is petrol still $1.20 when oil prices have plumeted and the dollar is strong?
I wish our community wasnt so weak and accepting of what is being done to them.
Try doing this in France or Italy. They just riot and everything gets reversed.

Italy is a basket case: some 50 governments in 50 years.
And don't get me started about France.
The NSW government is the walking dead waiting for an election to bury them. They silently ramped up a slew of RTA charges outside the budget process by gazetting them.

Hi Dave, have you tried out the Green Slip Cost Comparison site. Here it is http://www.greenslips.com.au/

In Victoria, our compulsory third party insurance is part of the registration fee each year. It would be nice to be able to shop for the best price...

That's how it was in NSW for decades with the underwriting being done by the Government Insurance Office (GIO).
Then it was farmed out to a list of general insurance companies with buyer choice and CTP insurance costs dropped dramatically ... for a time, until they started to creep up each year as the number of players reduced to just a handfull.
