Dear Anon - ACC Worker

Dear (Anon)  

…cough, cough…ahem…MW - yes we all know who you are.

I have not published your post because in short - it’s libel. My advice to you (once again) is to take legal advice if you truly believe your accusations are grounded. My Blog is not here for your personal malicious agenda.

On the other matter raised, I do not recommend you or whoever you claim is effected by sexual abuse to travel down the ACC route for counseling, help, or assistance. Even though you work at ACC, I really don’t think that would make one iota of difference, unfortunately. The sad fact is, even if you were to process a claim through ACC, it takes so much out of the applicant that sometimes, they end up in a worse state or just drop their claim – well, that IS the agenda behind ACC’s scheme, so I guess that is kind of working really.

I believe that L. Morrison at The Nutter’s Club gave you some ideas about seeking help through the Auckland services. There is also the obvious option of going private and, since more than 600 counselors nationwide have removed any affiliation with the ACC’s “method,” you stand a much better chance of finding someone genuine. You might like to consider going through WINZ. They have a disability allowance (I believe up to approximately $60 per week) for private counseling and, unlike ACC, you can choose who to see and there is complete confidentiality.

However, what does concern me is Peter Jansen (ACC) gave clear indications that ACC were actively “working with” other agencies to cater for those who either don’t qualify or just don’t want to be inhumanely “processed” by the current Clinical Pathways. We have only just applied for that information ourselves under the Official Information Act as he seems to suffer amnesia when being asked directly. We should know in a few weeks. What I find intriguing is, if an ACC employee doesn’t even know about these services then maybe our suspicions are correct - there are no other services, never were. Just another piece of bullshit thrown into the public arena as a knew jerk reaction to a “system” he imposed, no one endorsed, and every one hates.

Welcome to our world - your frustration at the lack of affordable options outside ACC is shared by thousands of women/men nationwide.

On a more personal note, I do not believe you just “stumbled across” my blog by accident. The two recent ‘friend’ additions to your Facebook page (Leah & Geoffrey) are a testament to your real intentions and theirs as well, I might add. Now, I have answered your questions on ACC, in case they are genuine, but I think you would be best advised to seek further answers elsewhere. Your rancid emails which attack me and my child, I can do well without.

And lastly, if you don’t like my blog – “Um…fuck off and don’t read it.” It really is that simple.
