Why is it that every time a workers compensation scheme hits financial difficulties workers benefits have to be reduced? These deforms are an attack on benefits and rights that have existed for many years. Why too must psychiatric injuries be treated differently. I could never understand the logic. If my employer asks me to stack 5 kg boxes on a pallet that is surely reasonable management action yet if injure myself physically I get compensation. A similar reasonable request that causes psychological injury does not entitle me to compensation. It is time lawmakers looked elsewhere for savings. There are plenty of savings to be made without attacking injured workers benefits.
