My Private Notes


Preamble

Currently, if you are a victim of a motor vehicle accident (MVA) in the ACT, your income benefit protection will drop from 95% to 80% after 13 weeks, further financially crippling those injured at no fault of their own.

​
Platform Change

Income Benefit Protection

INSERT NEW: 

51. Remove the 80% income rule, to keep income benefit protection at 100% over five years to ensure those injured by an motor vehicle accident (MVA) do not drop further into poverty due to MVAs.​
Original Paragraph 51
Examine a no fault vehicle personal injury insurance scheme with the proviso that appropriate common law rights be retained.
Original Paragraph 52
Examine the feasibility of an ACT compulsory third-party property motor vehicle insurance scheme.
