OPINION: The Dominion Post reported on October 28 that ACC Minister Nick Smith says the changes to rules for sex abuse claims were developed by Massey University. This is not correct.

The new ACC guidelines for sensitive claims, which ACC calls "clinical pathways", were developed by ACC itself.

Staff of Massey University did develop sexual abuse and mental injury practice guidelines, which were launched last year and have been used successfully and without controversy by sensitive claims counsellors throughout New Zealand since.
