Motion
HON KYLE McGINN (Mining and Pastoral) [11.30 am] — without notice: I move —
That this house notes that wage theft is a serious and ongoing concern in Western Australian workplaces because of its impacts on —
(a) workers, particularly vulnerable workers; and
(b) employers who do the right thing by their workers; and
123. Hon ALISON XAMON to the Leader of the House representing the Attorney General:
I refer to the ability of police officers to use the Criminal Injuries Compensation Act 2003 to recover losses not covered under the Western Australia Police Industrial Agreement.
(1) Will the government amend section 42(3) of the act so that compensation for the purpose of that section does not include sick leave and medical expenses paid by the WA Police Force to injured police officers?
