I'll make him one, it'll cost 5 bucks and consist of a piece of 4x2.

3rd longest sentence in NZ is 26 years? what a joke.

and yeah, shoot him in the head, lets see them try replacing that

All those poor kids overseas still crawling round in the dirt after stepping on landmines and good old NZ supplies crims with top of the line artificial legs....pretty sad really

Great story to whip up public opinion about how hopeless they are and why they NEED to be privatised as soon as possible. Only way to stop this shameful waste etc etc.
Anyone with half an ounce of brain realises $10K doesn't register given the annual turnover of ACC.
Better this than setting a precident of denying artificial limbs for those who 'deserved' to lose one. Only a couple of easy steps from this to saying anyone who crashes one of those dangerous motorbike thingies doesn't deserve one either.
