MR BARR (Kurrajong—Chief Minister, Treasurer, Minister for Social Inclusion and Equality, Minister for Tourism and Special Events and Minister for Trade, Industry and Investment) (5.21): This is around the premise that silence is taken to be acceptance, and I have an amendment coming up that addresses this particular question.
Amendment negatived.
MR BARR (Kurrajong—Chief Minister, Treasurer, Minister for Social Inclusion and Equality, Minister for Tourism and Special Events and Minister for Trade, Industry and Investment) (5.21): I move amendment No 32 circulated in my name [see schedule 2 at page 1654]. This is, again, a further insertion of the requirement for reasonable steps to be undertaken by the insurer to notify the injured person of the due date.
MR COE (Yerrabi—Leader of the Opposition) (5.21): This is an improvement on what was there before, but it still does not address the core issue of a de facto acceptance. It puts a little more obligation on the insurance company to reach out, but there still is that de facto acceptance written into what is being proposed by the government, even with their amendment.
Amendment agreed to.
MR COE (Yerrabi—Leader of the Opposition) (5.22): I move amendment No 42 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 1639]. We are seeking to omit the automatic acceptance of offer.
Amendment negatived.
Clause 161, as amended, agreed to.
Clause 162.
MR COE (Yerrabi—Leader of the Opposition) (5.22), by leave: I move amendments Nos 43 and 44 circulated in my name together [see schedule 1 at page 1639].
Amendments negatived.
MR COE (Yerrabi—Leader of the Opposition) (5.23): I move amendment No 45 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 1639].
Amendment negatived.
MR BARR (Kurrajong—Chief Minister, Treasurer, Minister for Social Inclusion and Equality, Minister for Tourism and Special Events and Minister for Trade, Industry and Investment) (5.23): I move amendment No 33 circulated in my name [see schedule 2 at page 1654]. This proposes a further provision in this clause requiring reasonable steps to be undertaken by the insurer to notify the injured person of the due date.
