Amending Truck Act Debate Stirs Legislative Council
The Legislative Council debates Mr Speed’s Amending Truck Act aimed at ending employer withholdings for medical attendance. Proponents say it shifts cost to workers subscribing directly, while timber companies fear hardship for mill hands and quarry workers. A compromise exempts contracts supplying medicines, but council and executive must approve any exemption to keep the principle intact.
