What's really behind WorkCover Changes?

Hello Readers,

We've all heard about the unfunded liability and how injured workers are to blame for the "debt", but is this the whole truth? Below we'll look at another plausible reason, one that could be shadowed by a web of deceit and deception designed to mislead the public.

Previously Under the Workers Compensation and Rehabilitation Act if a Sec 38 determination was made to stop a workers weekly payments under Sec36, and that determination was disputed by the the worker, the worker would have his/her payments reinstated until the matter was resolved in the tribunal or the notice was withdrawn.
Now they give notice under the new Sec35 amendments, but here is where it all gets dirty. Injured workers, the public and parliament were told these changes were necessary for the scheme to become fully self-funded, right?
They talk about and throw the term "unfunded liability" around like it's a frisbe in the school yard, what they haven't told anyone, even those who asked, what this "unfunded liability" actually is!

Firstly we must stop looking at the WC&R Act as a Law that governs us, it is no such thing! An Act is a Statute governing the conduct of Corporations, it is NOT a Law for the common person.

Acts are Laws for Corporations, are you a Corporation? No! Then what business has this Act got with you?
Now the Powers that be and all the Lawyers know this, but will never tell you of this because that is their control over you, which is used to get you to play their game!

Now that we have established what an Act is we can look at this "liability" thing that's been so loosely bantered around.

The "unfunded liability " in the case of Workcover is no such thing, the corporation has at least $4billion in assets at it's disposal, so how can a debt of $1.2 billion exist? Simple, it can't! For there to be any unfunded debt at this level it would mean a real world debt figure of at least $5billion, and if the Corporation is in this much debt then like the State bank fiasco, it would be the Governor's job to sack those directly responsible, and call for a royal commission, but none of these things have happened which tells me that there is no such debt at all!
You might hear people stating that it's a "worse case, what if?" scenario, but what has that got to do with injured workers? What Mike Rann and the Workcover Board have done by throwing injured workers off the scheme is, stolen employer paid levies, thereby generating $1.2 billion of further Corporation profit!

I've even heard the expression loosely used that "the changes are not personal !" and yet to all those they so drastically affect how can these changes not be, personal?

What these people are really stating is,"It doesn't affect me, or anyone I personally know, so I don't care!"  Clearly our Government and those affiliated with it, simply don't understand plain English! When you make a decision that will adversely affect only a minority group of people (in this case injured workers) which yourself is not part of, such a decision is about as personal as it gets!  Is this really so hard for these morons to understand?
