Woo hoo. About bloody time! I have never understood how come criminals can claim ACC when they injure themselves in the course of their livelihood.
There are enough problems for people who genuinely injure themselves in legit law abiding ways without having to compete for the ACC dollar with these scum.

Hey - do you know if you can still claim ACC for getting your dick stuck in the vacuum cleaner?

jrandom has a very good point, the only way to enforce this would be if you were injured doing somthing you got a conviction for, can easily see them aplying that to trafic convictions too

Is there a URL for this news article so we can read more details?
gee wizzz
My thought EXACTLY.
Naturally any rider on a L licence will be excluded ACC cover if he's travelling faster than 70km/h.

I think it means that if you were robbing my house, and a baseball bat happened to hit you around the head, quite by accident, then you would not be covered by ACC.
Ahhh....Opps....
It's going to be interesting to see how the define crime. Does crime only mean indictable offences or could crime mean speeding or the like.

anyone else remember when we had a "free health service" until the waitng lists go so long that anyone with half a nounce got health insurance?(with no drop in taxation), not much of a stretch of the imagination to see that happening with acc is it?

The ramifications of "committing a crime" by speeding, reckless riding/driving etc. and causing injury could well be very interesting.
Where do you draw the line at what is "injury through committing a crime"? The example used on the news was that of p lab workers who blow themselves up in the course of their drug work. But who knows where it could go.
Hey, we might even end up with motorists being less inclined to break the law?

A few years ago some cock escaped from prison up north, when he jumped off the wall he injured a leg (or both) - he was rewarded a lump ACC payment for his injuries.
