Yip....It Could Be Costley...
"Coasters Kick ACC’s ASS."
Oh Lordy……Ain’t it all just fine to see. Big Smilin’ Garry’s Boys and Girls down there on the Coast is gettin their chips, and big time.
It’s what happens when you piss people off. Folks get sick of being put down, and then kicked, especially by the lying cowards from ACC.
Gggeeeezzzz a man simply asked for a replacement wheelchair, absolutely essential to get him to the local Polytech. You see, he’s doing his damnedest to get himself back to as full an independence as he can, and still they kick him.
They apparently gave him some tools, and rumor has it that the local ACC Manager actually stood by and watched while he attempted to get his old chair mobile again. The sadistic bastard.
Well, I bet by now the Case Manager (Loss Adjuster) involved wishes to hell she had never heard this guy’s name, or maybe that she had agreed and arranged a replacement chair, which incidentally, he had been assessed as being entitled to.
You see Radio Pacific, and Mark Bennett no less have got their teeth into the story now.
They have supported this guy in his fight for justice, organised food and refreshments for the protesters who set up camp outside the local ACC offices, and covered the story from beginning to end.
The publicity has brought all manner of folks out of their closets. Former ACC staff who were themselves tormented and driven to ‘exit’ longer term claimants are now telling Radio Pacific their stories. Slowly, but surely, all hell is breaking loose, and I understand that the key ACC staffer credited with starting all of this off, goes by the name of ‘Costley’. Damn it, you sure as hell are Honey. Don’t expect a bonus this year. Big Garry aint gonna like this one little bit. There’s a lesson here for other staff as well. Just watch, and see how expendable you really are.
Now for those doubters who questioned my getting 600 emails in a 24 hour period….try this one on.
I understand the Radio station has passed the 1,500 mark in the same time frame.
Go you Coasters…………..Go you real Kiwis.
I’ll keep you posted on this story of course, but if you can’t wait, then tune into Radio Pacific and catch Mark Bennett’s show, or watch developments on www.accforum.org
I’ll be back tomorrow to cover a few of ‘ACC’s Best Lies’ and a few of their ‘Best Kept Secrets’ that aren’t secrets anymore, and I’ll be telling you a few stories about what ACC put folks through in the name of work capability assessment….remember the story I told you about the sick notes on a claimants file that came through by mistake from ACC, where they had made comments about the most appropriate work for assessment being as a dance instructor….the person concerned was an amputee.
I guess it’s about time the lid was lifted right off their little compost heap…..what do you say to that?
Till tomorrow….you sleep well. Don’t spare a thought for those out there being tortured and tormented. Someone else can worry about them.
