WORKCOVER CORPORATION

The Hon. A. BRESSINGTON (15:01): I have a supplementary question. Will the minister explain why the referral to return to work has now become the mantra of the need for change of this legislation when Mr Robin Shaw from Self Insurers of South Australia has said that there is no way we are measuring return-to-work rates accurately?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Police, Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning) (15:01): We can debate these issues at great length. In fact, I look forward to it. The bill is on the Notice Paper, and nothing would delight me more than debating the bill this evening. We can do it this evening, because the bill is on the Notice Paper. I look forward to the honourable member's contribution this evening. We are happy to sit here all night if necessary in order to get the bill underway and examine the issues in more detail.
