again as a result of a car accident would be deserving of an amount at the very top of the scale. They are probably likely to only get half on this scale. This $500,000 amount is really a bit of a myth and I think there are going to be lots of people who are going to be significantly worse off as a result of what Labor and the Greens are agreeing to.

Even somebody who is a paraplegic perhaps might only be 64 per cent WPI and they are only going to get half of the $500,000. I wonder: was that fully explained to the jury? Was that information, was that reality passed on to the members? I am sceptical.
