Department of the Legislative Assembly, Northern Territory Government

Mr BAILEY - 1996-02-28

How does the Chief Minister intend to address the anomaly resulting from the fact that the families of the Japanese driver and navigator in the Cannonball Run are eligible for multi-million dollar common law compensation while the family of Territorian Keith Pritchard is eligible only for a relatively niggardly statutory amount of compensation under the Motor Accidents Compensation Act?

ANSWER

Mr Speaker, I will take the question on notice. It is not an area of my portfolio responsibility, but it is an important matter. I will provide the member with an answer in due course.
