GIROLAMO (15:19):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Industrial Relations regarding ReturnToWork. Could the minister please provide an update on ReturnToWork's current level of claims and unfunded liabilities? Will the minister rule out any further increases to the ReturnToWork premium?</text>

MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:20):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question. I certainly don't have any information that would suggest that any of the forecasts that have been made during the course of debate on various issues in this chamber are doing anything other than panning out as forecast.</text>
        <text id="20221117e381ebbde8704928b0000314">In terms of claims data, I can inform the honourable member that there were, in relation to the last financial year, approximately 14,000 claims received in the registered scheme, with 93 per cent of claims determined and accepted for financial support. But if there is more and if there is any significant variance to what has previously been forecast, I am happy to bring that back to the chamber.</text>
