39652 (2026). Mike Davidson to the Minister for ACC: How, if at all, will he address the failures to meet Te Tiriti obligations identified in The Legacy of PCP and its Dioxins in Aotearoa Report, specifically the “limited evidence of meaningful partnership” (Article 1), “the limited and delayed remediation” of lands (Article 2), and the inequities arising from the “disproportionate impacts of PCP exposure on Māori" (Article 3)?
Hon Scott Simpson: The report references matters over multiple portfolios. In so far as ACC is concerned, I expect ACC to act fairly and consistently in line with the Accident Compensation Act 2001 when assessing claims and considering evidence in relation to Schedule 2 reviews.
