While the government pointed to legal costs as a major driver of costs in the green slip scheme, theassociation in part focused upon excessive pro ts made by scheme insurers as one of the causes of poorscheme performance

Well, take this as the starting point: that for the last ten years,the insurers have been making very good money out of thegreen slips schemes.T eyre meant to keep about 10 percentof the total premium as pro t, and theyve been keepingupwards of 20 percent. So theyve been on a very good wicket, for a very long time.

What the Government now proposes is some very radicalchanges. Until now youve had to prove - in most instances- .fault, that this driver has run you down, theyre at fault,you get compensated.T e drivers who cause accidents, theyhavent got any compensation.T is change moves us toa no-fault scheme, where everybody gets some money. But ofcourse when you bring in 7000 new at-fault drivers, it meansyouve got to strip the bene ts back to pay for it.

So the net result is that a load more people get something,the innocent victims get a whole lot less in order to pay forthe drivers who ran them down.

Well, the governments pushing these proposals on the basisthat theyre going to speed up the trial process. In fact itsgoing to do the opposite. Its going to clog the trials up withlegal arguments about what does it mean when somebodydidnt mention something and its going to further make itmore difficult for the accused at trial. Its going to more thansubtly tip the balance in favour of the prosecution in thecriminal process.

It will be the English system without the safeguards.T eEnglish have found it to be extraordinarily expensive.T eyve found it to be extraordinarily complex. It raises a whole lot of very important issues that are fought outcommonly in the courts.

Phillip Boulten SC, ABC 702 Radio News, 11 February 2013.

T e Bar Association also argued that the provisions in the draft bill were modeled upon changes made inthe United Kingdom a number of years ago, but failed to ensure that an accused would have access to legaladvice before making a decision concerning their exercise of the right to silence.
