This amendment ensures that transitional arrangements apply and remain clear for a longer period. There will always be cases that take a few years to emerge and apply to injuries incurred under the old scheme. Given that a note will be attached to the legislation to advise people that transitional arrangements may apply once this chapter has expired, it is probably sufficient to extend the expiry date from one to two years.

Ms Tucker's amendment agreed to.

Mr Smyth's amendment, as amended, agreed to.

Clause 26, as amended, agreed to.

Remainder of bill, by leave, taken as a whole.
