R.a.c.q.

Just read this from the September Issue of the R.A.C.Q. Magazine. Who is with R.A.C.Q. Compulsory Third Party Insurance.
You might want to reconsider this ...!!

This is ' shameful ' to say the least.

R.A.C.Q. today is not the Club my Parents grew up with .

Imagine the implications if this is agreed by the Qld Gov'

Flash what are the specifics?
This appears to be one person's view of what he thinks is happening...very emotive but is there anything to back his claim?

I would think that if this was allowed to be published in the very Magazine of R.A.C.Q. , there would be ' validating ' to the subject mentioned.

Besides, he is a member of the R.A.C.Q and is entitled to have his say regarding ' changes ' in the Policy of this Company.

If it wasn't...he's going out on a limb for repercussions against him.

It's a very emotive letter, but I'm not sure how accurate it is. For example, the letter says that "Queensland motorists have the cheapest and fairest Compulsory Third Party insurance in Australia", but it does not mention that Queensland's CTP scheme is "fault-based" (i.e. you have to go to court to prove who is at fault before an injured person can access a cent of compensation), and benefits ultimately payable are a "settlement sum" (again often requiring court action to determine). Qld CTP may be cheaper than other states, but it is not obvious to me that it is necessarily better.

The letter writer is a member of the legal fraternity - some of whom could lose out badly if the QLD CTP scheme moved to a "no-fault defined-benefits" scheme, for example. (Note: I'm not necessarily arguing that this would be the best outcome.) Yes, they're entitled to their view (and to put their view in the RACQ magazine), but they could be just as "conflicted" as they claim the RACQ to be.

I suggest people should check out the RACQ's "Rethink CTP" website to see what is actually being discussed:
https://rethinkctp.com.au/
https://rethinkctp.com.au/wp-content...Guide-View.pdf

Then take a look at the 10 recommendations of the "Citizen's Jury":
https://rethinkctp.com.au/rethink-ctp-findings/#jury

Recommendation (Jury Support levels - %)
Improve MAIC Transparency & Accountability (96%)
Remove Opportunities for profiteering from the scheme (96%)
CTP awareness and Navigation of the scheme should be improved (93%)
Expand the types of vehicles registered & covered by the scheme (90%)
More money available for claimants to access (90%)
Scheme design options (88%)
Retain Governments’ role in the scheme (88%)
Improve the scheme by introducing a minimum level of cover (88%)
The scheme should remain compulsory (86%)
Independent Advocacy (85%)

Its not a motoring club anymore, mate. It's business and nothing else. Like (nearly) every other business, they don't care about you or your car or you life quality. They pretend to care while extracting as much from your wallet as possible. Often know as smiling while twisting the knife".
