⁉️ ACC is simply underfunded but is an outstanding concept for both workplace & other "accidental" injuries/harms. The litigation question also applies to say a charity running an event where say the Bouncy Castle injures someone, OR sports clubs where often people get injured playing sports - sure they could "take out insurance" but insurance co ethos is "profit" so that would put us in the USA disaster re people being denied payouts as much as possible to protect the bottom line. Then there are people doing private recreation who get injured like falling off mountains, hang-gliding, tramping, sailing etc.
ACC is not perfect & sometimes refuses to cover things they should, but because it is a PUBLIC org & not a private-for-profit org, the PUBLIC have more transparency & ability to challenge decisions & lobby for the inclusion of some harms like sexual assault. Earners pay levies, and the govt has a specific fund to cover everyone else - it is not unforseen or unknown & every other govt has just got on with it as part of their responsibility to fun - Nicky-no-boats is basically incompetent & her answers are more "creative writing" than "accounting" - which works with her degree in English Literature & diploma in journalism - neither of which have anything to do with how to run an economy (except into the ground?)
