My question asks the Minister about the timeline for the implementation of each of the 14 recommendations made by the Personal Injuries Commission regarding personal injury awards. The reason I am raising this is that the issue is generating considerable pressure in our economy. In some areas, insurance is more expensive than rates. That is not sustainable. It is undermining business and competitiveness. It is inherently wrong that the scammers and those who abuse the system are very often the ones who are paid out while businesses are left picking up the tabs.
