Coronavirus

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:26): Supplementary arising from the answer: could a nurse contracting COVID-19 already fall into one of the, I think it is, 23 categories where the presumption of evidence is in favour rather than against it being contracted at work that is already in schedule 2 of the act?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:27): I am surprised the Leader of the Opposition, as a lawyer, doesn't know the answer to his own question. Have a look at the legislation: it would have been pretty clear I would have thought that, unless it refers to COVID-19 (and it clearly does not), then it would not.
