          <by role="member" id="603">The Hon. R.D. LAWSON:</by>  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.</text>
