ACC legal bills skyrocket, creating an 'uneven playing field' for claimants
ACC legal spending has doubled in five years, jumping from $3.8 million in 2011 to $7.9m last year.
However, many injured Kiwis seeking to dispute rejected claims are concerned ACC is using private attorneys to outsmart them.
Russel Watts, 50, from Taupo, said he postponed his review earlier this week after he found out he'd be facing off against a senior corporate attorney from Wellington.
Stolen Packages
Hello Neighbours,
I wanted to inform everyone about an incident that occurred today. At approximately 9:42 AM, I received two packages. Shortly after, around 9:52 AM, an individual trespassed into my yard and stole these packages.
The person didn't seem to notice or care about the cameras installed. Please stay vigilant and keep an eye out for any suspicious activity in the area.
Stay safe :)
