I am absolutely astounded by the behaviour of the ACC in the case of man who has had a stroke, lost a leg can hardly think or speak and the rapacious ACC are trying to force the poor man to get a job. What employer in his/her right mind would employ such a person?
People could die as a result of having such a person in a place of work or for God's sake driving a truck. What the hell is going on in the mind of the idiot who suggested such a person be let lose behind the wheel of a truck?
What would health and safety do in the event of an accident when people were killed? Sue the backside of the firm and fine them hundreds of thousands of dollars that's what they would do. Now if Labour were in power that man would not be expected to work. This is the most disgraceful uncaring activity I have come across in my life. That man deserves compensation for the stress his wife and he have been put through by this rapacious Govt dept.
This action is reflected by my comments in a previous letter that until the right drop their distaste for the aged, the sick, the poor or hard up and the infirm and the left drop their distaste for the rich, the achievers, the intelligentsia - there will never be sanity in the NZ Governments.
