Since the Chinese ambassador is aware of this impact on the bereaved, then their own Government should also be aware, and compensating its own citizens accordingly whenever they lose their one and only child. If their govt doesn't, then why should ours? |

| 1185900 | 2011-03-13 22:50:00 | The Chinese parents have a case, but as Paul C says it should be the responsibility of the Chinese government instead of the NZ. I can certainly feel for those Chinese parents with only one kid, I don't think most of them are rich people. In many cases Chinese international students are sent here using all the money their parents could ever spare; they are investing all they have, their entire livelihoods on their only child, and it must be more than devastating to lose a child and your livelihood in retirement. |

(snip) Everyone in NZ (residents and visitors alike) is entitled to ACC if they are injured within NZ by accident. That was the deal - with the change to ACC and its 'no fault' basis, we gave up the general right to sue (e.g. for negligence leading to injury). So neither NZ residents, nor visitors like the Chinese students or their families, have the right to sue (e.g. say there turns out to be a situation that Kings Education negligently housed students in an unsafe building, no-one could sue them except in very special circumstances). When the scheme first came in, that meant that you didn't have to go through the courts, and lose most of what you won (if you won anything at all) to the bottom feeders and ambulance chasers (e.g. lawyers). However, with the way Nick Smith and the current tory government is going, we may be on a loser. |
