The local horse trainer is battling to get justice for his son Luke who was shot in the head in 2002.

Mr Quintano said he is fed up waiting for the federal government's response to his calls for an act of grace payment and also slammed Allianz for their 'incompetence'.

"Two months ago I was told a decision on Luke's act of grace payment was up for consideration," Mr Quintano said.

"Last week I received a letter saying that they would not make a decision because of the impending federal election.

"They said we had to wait until after the election for a decision.

"This is just bullshit.

"If they were going to make a decision two months ago, why didn't they make a decision two months ago?"

Mr Quintano said Luke suffered a work accident in 2001, sustaining serious leg injuries. He received a part payment from Allianz but the issue became clouded when he was shot in 2002.

"Essentially, Allianz said they would not payout the full amount they owed Luke because the issue about his insurance claim with the nightclub and its insurer took over.

"So when the nightclub and the insurer went into liquidation, Luke missed out almost completely.

"In my opinion, APRA and ASIC should have frozen the assets of the nightclub and the insurer."

Mr Quintano said the government and Allianz were just stalling.

The local horse trainer last week ramped up his battle launching an online survey 'to put the federal government on notice'.

"They are a disgrace. If they can treat my son like that, who is safe? He was 21 years of age. His life has been destroyed.

"My son is a victim of crime. If the local member, if the federal government and if the insurers cannot look after my son, who is a victim of crime, then who is safe?

"Nobody, I would suggest."
