Andrew Barr and his government are going to introduce new compensation laws for car accidents. The cost of your third party insurance premiums go down by about the cost of a cappuccino. We’re told that his government will increase the cost of car registration.

CTP goes down, registration goes up. If you can convince your CTP insurer that you or your kids are injured (good luck with that), you will get two years of medical and two years wage loss. After that, 93% of people (if still injured) get nothing from insurance. That means, in practice, citizens won’t be able to pay their mortgage and will lose the family home.

Kids who, for example, break two arms and two legs in a motor vehicle accident, after healing, will get nothing aside from initial medical expenses. Do you think it’s fair for your child to break their limbs by no fault of their own and get nothing? Absolutely not fair. It sucks.

Ask Mr. Barr’s government not to make changes that won’t save you a single cent. It’s not fair. Please sign this petition and tell him that - this issue concerns YOU.

It is due by 6 May 2019 to the ACT Law Society for the Speaker and Legislative Assembly and requires just your name, address and signature. If you would prefer a physical copy, please contact United Legal on 6295 2283 and we will send one out to your nominated address.
