ACC Scum

**Lou Girardin** · 25th May 2005, 16:17

I watched Campbells story last night on one of the mesothelioma (I think) victims who won a High court case to force lump sum payments out of ACC.
Who are now appealing the decision.
This self-righteous prick was insisting how it was their "duty" to appeal.
How it was their "duty" to save the taxpayers an estimated $1,000,000 in these payments. The various court cases will go close to that in costs.
Not a word of ACC's obscene surplus from investments. One might ask why this organisation runs a surplus at all. Especially in view of the way they'll raise levy's at the drop of a hat.
All this was delivered with a display of crocodile tears that was positively sickening.
I really hope there is karma, this guy deserves his.

Yes, I saw that too, and was most impressed with John Campbell. He just kept to his point and never accepted the answer he was given as justification.

I must say (off topic a bit – sorry ) I like John Campbell. Good guy, and gives the people he interviews a hard time when they deserve it and is compassionate when needed. Unlike that absolute moron Holmes! Where the hell did they dig that buffoon up from?

Sorry to interject - carry on.

Yeah, Campbell is excellent. How did Susan Wood get best presenter?

Rep points for that Biff!

The only programme I'd like to see Holmes on, would also be the only Reality TV I'd watch - Holmes, Banks, and GW Bush on a desert island. Who would be eaten first?

Anyhoo...I digress...

I didn't see the story, but it is most likely that ACC is appealing just to 'settle' the law - the same reason that litigious corporates, especially insurance companies, are always in court spending more on litigation than any given case was ever worth to them. It's NOT about the case in point, but rather to keep pressure on the law, and always pursue to most favourable precedent.

[Credit to My Jurisprudence tutor - litigious corporates arose in today's discussion]

I think ACC sees crims as victims and vice versa....

**Clockwork** · 25th May 2005, 18:12

Not picking a fight here guys...... in what way does ACC give money to crims?

Fuck Winj. That's ancient history. And there is now legislation in place so that will not happen again. You sound like Brian Tamiki. Quoting 'bull shit' to suit your arguements.
