If You Get Hurt Who Gets Harmed?

Oh bugger off Government Accident Compensation Corporation with your latest patronising propaganda campaign.

New Zealanders are not kindergarten idiots in need of being told how to chop wood or reach for something up high on a shelf.

Truth is the government definitely don’t care if you come to harm. They care that you might claim some of your own stolen compensation money back and make their accounting books bleed.

So, they take some of your money and spend it on ad campaigns telling you to be a snowpuff.

“The Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) was established by the outgoing government of National 2.0 in 1972. As has happened countless times in New Zealand History: National makes a slippery slope and Labour rides it! And, expands and extends it. And, rides it some more!” – 1972: ACC, AHNZ

Externalise the cost of risk and the agent whose job it is to pay starts infantalising everyone and tells them they’re made out of glass. What could be more predictable?
