Georgedarroch,

To the politicians its not primarily a question about how effective ACC is, nor is it an ideological question. Rather, privatisation of ACC opens up new money making opportunities for their mates in the insurance industry.

Never. The evidence of its effectiveness compared to every other real world accident healthcare scheme in operation is so clear, it is purely and utterly an act of ideological bloody mindedness to do so.

They owned it along with all other New Zealanders, and they have not had anything taken off them that found ACC has relatively low administrative costs. For example, in New Zealand, workers pay on average 78 cents in every $100 toward their compensation scheme, but in Australia (which has some private provision) the figure is $2 per $100."
