WORKCOVER CORPORATION

In reply to the Hon. R.I. LUCAS (14 February 2012).

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women): The Treasurer has advised:

1. & 2. WorkCover advises that it has appealed the decision of His Honour Auxiliary Justice Olsson to the Full Bench of the Workers Compensation Tribunal. The dispute has therefore not been finalised and any entitlements Mr Mericka may claim are unenforceable until the appeal processes have been completed.
