Personal Explanation

MEMBER'S REMARKS

The Hon. R.D. LAWSON (16:44): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

The Hon. R.D. LAWSON: On 29 April, in the course of my contribution on the workers rehabilitation and compensation bill, during a comparison of the income support step-downs in the various workers compensation schemes, in my haste I stated that South Australian workers currently receive full support after 52 weeks, whereas, of course, under the present scheme there is a step-down to 80 per cent after 52 weeks. I apologise to the council for that error.
