WORKCOVER, RETIREMENT AGE

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (15:22): My question is to the Minister for Industrial Relations. What is the projected impact on WorkCover and the state government's WorkCover compensation scheme as a result of the Rudd government's increasing the retirement age from 65 to 67 years of age?

The Hon. P. CAICA (Colton—Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development) (15:22): I do not have those figures in front of me. It is one of the issues that I am investigating and, when I have investigated it, I will bring the answer back to the member in the house.
