The Greens did have policy on ACC functions in its election manifesto - expanding ACC coverage to cover (long term) disability caused by illness.
And to return ACC to a pay as you go system.
Cannot recall if that included reverting to the original well-argued system of standardised ACC levies, not the risk based system introduced by the 4th National Government to prepare ACC for privitisation.
One aspect of ACC which few people seem to know or talk about is the cover available after an accidental injury-caused death.e.g. assistance with funeral costs.Monetary compensation is, or at least used to be, useful and ongoing in the case of, for instance, orphaned children. Some “Give a little” requests would be unnecessary if this provision of ACC was more widely publicised.
