Collins presides over 'chaos of resignations'

The resignation of CEO Ralph Stewart is evidence of the utter chaos that ACC has descended into under the watch of Minister Judith Collins, says Labour’s ACC spokesperson Andrew Little.

“In just three and a half years, National has managed to create a shambles out of our world-class insurance agency.

“We have seen two resignations in two days in what is a desperate scramble by Judith Collins to try and regain credibility.

“This is a political stitch-up and a last-ditch attempt to regain control of a situation which has escalated because Judith Collins has had her eye off the ball.

“The Minister has been so focused on privacy complaints and litigation against her political opponents that she has been unable to dedicate herself to ensuring the corporation operates effectively and regains public trust.

“The Prime Minister should relieve Judith Collins of the ACC portfolio and appoint a Minister who is capable of dedicating themselves fully to the job,” Andrew Little said.
