WORKERS’ COMPENSATION AND INJURY MANAGEMENT ACT 1981 — REVIEW
I refer to the legislative review of the Workers’ Compensation and Injury Management Act 1981 that took place through 2009–10. (1) Will the minister please advise what action has been taken to progress the recommendations of the review? (2) When will the minister amend section 56 of the Workers’ Compensation and Injury Management Act 1981 to remove the discriminatory age 65 threshold? Hon NORMAN MOORE

AnswerView source ↗

I do not appear to have a copy of a question of that nature, or an answer. Hon Alison Xamon : I can provide a copy. Hon NORMAN MOORE : The member has to submit it if she wants a minister in the other place to provide a response. I will also say that I find it extraordinarily difficult to hear the honourable member and to understand what she is saying. Indeed, had it been a question without notice, I would have had to ask her to write it down anyway.
