ACC minister Judith Collins has confirmed Michelle Boag contacted her about the matter.
A report from the corporation to Ms Collins last week alleged the woman asked for two years worth of payments, in return for not making the information public.
Labour's ACC spokesman Andrew Little says it's clear some ethical standards have been breached, and an independent inquiry is needed. "It is most unusual and out of order for someone in Michelle Boag's position, a highly reputable PR person, a person who operates from the political arena, to associate herself with what looks like a pretty dodgy claim."
Ms Collins has confirmed she received an email from Ms Boag, which she passed on to ACC.
