Compensation for Accidents Bill.
It will be remembered that some time ago there was great discussion on the question as to whether the Workers' Compensation for Accidents Bill included agricultural labourers. It has since been ascertained that the measure is not so drastic aa supposed, but the point is now cleared up and the liability towards agricultural labourers established. In the House on Monday night the Hon. W. Hall-Jones moved the committal of the Workers' Compensation for Accidents Act Amendment Bill. He said that there appeared to be a general feeling among the farming community that agricultural laborers came under the operation of the Act, and as a result agricultural labourers were generally insured. This Act specifically included agricultural - labourers, and so set at rest all doubts on the point. Almost unanimous approval was expressed of the proposal to bring agricultural labourers within the scope of the Act, and the motion was agreed to on the voices.
