"I can't see there being any compensation for anyone unless someone starts up something. It's just water under the bridge, they just want it to go away."
Mr Kelly said he's informed Hastings Mayor Lawrence Yule "in no uncertain terms" exactly how he feels about his current situation.
"His heart isn't in it. He doesn't really give a **** about this outcome because he'll be moving on in a few months.
"I'm not the only one either. There are other people, like the elderly people that died, who are worse off than me," he said.
His situation was put to Mr Yule yesterday who said he had dealt with Mr Kelly before and was well aware of his situation.
"He's been badly affected by this and that's not lost on me."
Mr Yule said the Hastings District Council was in the process of working through options for those affected by the campylobactor outbreak.
However Mr Kelly said: "Lawrence, you don't get it mate."
He said he would feel differently if Mr Yule had been "compassionate and sincere" throughout the process, and added that compensation would be a step towards making amends.
"Monetary funds would definitely help in getting back on our feet again. But regarding health I'm always going to suffer."
Mr Kelly said he thought the council's attitude towards the outbreak was akin to the Kiwi saying of "She'll be right".
"They say it was a mistake, let's try to move on from this and for some people who can move forward it's okay but it's not that easy for others,
"It hit me for a six."
