Show Notes

The ACC minister’s questioning whether ACC is the right outfit for people needing compensation after experiencing sexual assault.

In 2023 the Court of Appeal ruled that sexual abuse survivors were entitled to compensation for the loss of potential earnings from when they were abused.

Newstalk ZB Political Editor Jason Walls told Heather du Plessis-Allan it’s not clear what the minister’s intention is.

“It sounds to me as if he’s looking to shift this liability to another section of government.”
