Workplace Injury Rehabilitation and Compensation Amendment (Arbitration) Bill 2021
Second reading
Debate resumed.
Mr CHEESEMAN (South Barwon) (16:59): 1985 was a huge year for the trade union movement and indeed for the Cain government. That was the year in which we legislated a WorkCover scheme for this state, and that was a great moment for workers across Victoria, because for the first time, if workers got injured in the workplace, there would be a compensation scheme. And it was a huge year.
Business interrupted under resolution of house of 16 March.
Motion agreed to.
Read second time.
