[Greens-Media] MEDIA ALERT: Road crash victims urge 'NO' vote on TAC changes

[Susan.Quinn at parliament.vic.gov.au]

The Victorian Greens Leader Greg Barber and the President of Road Trauma 
Families Victoria Margaret Markovic will call on Victorian MPs to reject 
laws before the Upper House on Thursday that will shut out families of 
fatal road crash victims who suffer damage to their mental health 
following the death of their loved ones. 

Proposed changes to the transport accident victims scheme have been widely 
rejected by peak bodies of emergency service workers - who will also be 
shut out - lawyers and mental health professionals.

After the media conference, Greg Barber will move in Parliament to defer 
the Bill until public consultation has taken place.

Who: 

Greg Barber, Victorian Greens Leader 
Margaret Markovic,  President - Road Trauma Families Victoria

When: Thursday 14 November, 9.00am

Where: Parliament of Victoria, Spring Street, front steps
