Burton Won’t Get Compensation From ACC
Politicians need to do their homework before making statements about Burton getting compensation from ACC.
Sections 120 to 122 of the Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation, and Compensation Act 2001 will prevent Burton from receiving any entitlements other than acute treatment - unless the Court decides it would not be repugnant to justice, which is unlikely.
The ignorance shown by the National and United Future spokespersons is a concern because there are more important ACC issues that need addressing, rather than bogus ones that will get headlines.
