25.01.2022 The Redcliffe by-election has now been called for Feb 22, 2014. The Workcover Protection Coalition will be out in full force during the campaign, highlighting the Newman Governments unfair and unnecessary changes to Qlds workers compensation scheme and the impacts of this for Redcliffe workers and their families.

25.01.2022 Yesterdays Annual Report shows WorkCover Qlds profit has doubled, court claims are stable, payouts are down, and we have the second lowest premiums in Australia. Yet the Queensland Government cuts workers rights. Why?

24.01.2022 New ReachTEL poll: 88% of Ashgrove voters support injured employees' right to sue. The Qld Government plans to reduce this right today. Australian Lawyers Alliance spokesman Rod Hodgson said the Premier needed to take heed of community sentiment in his own electorate, and across the state, which firmly backs the current workers compensation scheme.

24.01.2022 New WPC polling released today show this weeks policy reversals by the Newman Govt arent enough to bring back the voters who have deserted it. The results also show over 60% of voters want the Govt to repeal its unfair WorkCover changes made last year. The Newman Govt should repeal these unfair and unnecessary laws inmediately.... http://www.workcoverpc.com.au/news See more

A ReachTEL exit poll taken late yesterday shows workplace injury laws were a factor among 35-50 year olds who voted yesterday, with more than 39% saying this was a factor in them voting away from the LNP. The WPC will campaign for as long as it takes to ensure Queenslanders have the fair work injury laws they deserve.
