Severin ToniTONI SEVERIN (ACT): I rise on behalf of the ACT Party to support this bill the Accident Compensation (Notice of Decisions) Amendment Bill. ACC can be confusing for a lot of employees and this bill here from what I read actually may have its problems but we are only bringing it to go to select committee. But what I see this as being—as a previously small-business owner we had staff that would come back to us and would re-aggravate or injure—well injury. All we're asking is that us as employers—to actually help our staff to get an assessment and find out what ACC can do to help them.It's only a minor change. This bill's not perfect but this is why we send things off to select committee: so that we can iron out these problems. It's not about who's at fault. It's not. It is making sure that our staff are working safely so that we can make sure that they can continue on. We do not want staff to end up in a major situation down the track but if an employer can go and seek a review because there has been a re-injury or an aggravation then we will then understand what we need to do to assist that employee.I'm very disappointed looking at Labour over there when you say that you are here for the employees and you're not supporting this bill. As I said it's not perfect. Yes it has its faults. ACC is very confusing legislation full stop—lots of complaints. However this is something that I see being such a minute little thing that we could do to help them.The thing is that we always have injuries happening in our workplace. No matter how safe these workplaces are no matter what rules and regulations we put into our businesses accidents happen. Now we get these lovely staff back to us after they've had their treatment. We nurture them to make sure that they are not re-aggravating not re-injuring. However there's always a possibility that they think that they're better than what they are a little bit too soon and they'll do something silly and they re-aggravate it. But by taking this away and not having employers help these employees by having a review what can we do? You know that's the sad reality of it. What can we do?This to me is something that I feel very strongly should be looked at seriously and go to select committee because we as employers want to make sure we have healthy employees. We want them to be able to feed their families. We want them to be able to work. We don't want them on 80 percent wages; we want them on 100 percent wages. So it's very very very sad when you guys constantly oppose bills that aren't perfect. They are members' bills. They are not written with the expertise that the Government has to write these lovely bills but we can always iron out problems. We can always add things to them. We can send them to select committees people can submit their ideas and then if it doesn't get passed then we can reassess it and see how we can improve it or come up with a better idea.Now it's just so shocking to see the list of what's going on. It's very very sad as a previous employer that I could not help my staff with this. We already get notifications so this isn't anything privacy. We know when our staff are injured and half the time the staff member will come to us and tell us what's going on. So this would not be breaching their privacy because the majority of the time employees and employers do communicate.I am very very sad that the opposition here is not supporting this minor change and sending it to select committee so that anything that needs to be ironed out could be ironed out. Thank you Madam Speaker.
