FRONTLINE

“Insult to Injury”.

It was launched 18 years ago and hailed as a model for the rest of the world to follow. But today Accident Compensation, despite the many millions they pay out, is viewed by some New Zealanders as a shadow of its former self. There’s anger at new regulations which took effect last July, regulations which many believe will not only make it much harder to claim compensation, but will result in claimants receiving much less if they’re successful. It’s also an area which provokes anger from recipients for the way in which they are treated by ACC staff. A report on the changing face of Accident Compensation.

Speakers: David Hutton (ACC Operations Manager), Derek Gibson-Smith (Former ACC Executive), Jill Carhart (Lawyer), Mike Moore (ACC Client), Chamaine Foster (Moore’s Partner), Robyn Bedford (Lawyer), “Tracey” (ACC Client), Colin Davidson (ACC Client), Paul East (Acting Minister ACC).
