ACC privatisation good for Aussie Insurance Companies

National's ACC policy is another example of putting big business interests over workers rights only this time around its worse for the profits from a privatised scheme are likely to go off shore. Australian insurance companies will be rubbing their hands together at this gold rush from across the ditch. Nicky Hager in his book “”The Hollow Men" reports that Australian insurance companies have made huge financial donations to the National Party. You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. Once the Australians have creamed the most profitable bits off our scheme we will be left with a second rate system. Injured workers will not get the help they need to return safely and speedily to productive work. High risk workers may become too expensive to insure and therefore to employ. Trying to make political gain while putting such a strategic asset at risk is disgraceful. Why fix what aint broke?.
