Well we have now operationally experienced a few months of this new legislation and it appears that the Gov't has opened up a new loop hole, as we all new it would do! So what appears to be happening now is that NSW buyers are purchasing vehicles from all other states, repairing them using the cheap purchased vehicles from NSW (better quality vehicles at cheaper prices than outside of NSW or dare we say the continuation of stolen vehicles in NSW used on non NSW purchased and sold vehicles), then re-selling them all outside of NSW, without parts of stolen vehicles being traced outside of the state as the largest lobyist company proposed wouldn't happen?

Is this being driven by an institute/association that doesn't live in the real world, but has been rather good in positioning itself politically. 

Has these organisations thought about rather than trying to wrestle for political power, the customers that have a new (or used) vehicle fully comp insured, had a major accident (one that typically should be written off) but due to the damage not exceeding cetain thresholds of commerciality in comparison to writing the vehicle off, the vehicle is repaired rather than written off and returned to you. Oh by the way, do the repairers have some standards that can assure you (the customer) that your repairs will be to a regulatory standard?

So I would bet that a large number of you wouldn't want that vehicle back after being through such an accident, so who are these companies that have pushed this legislation through, thought of all different angles on what could happen now the law has been officialised or the public really thinking about the knock-on effects of a law that won't solve the problem but instead move it side-ways?

So, would be interested to hear some feedback from those who are in the trade, and also to see if we think this new law will go viral and be extended to other states? Can this continue with only a single state using this new legislation? Or will it be ring-fenced to NSW?
