The petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws to the attention of the House the inadequacy of the current compulsory third party insurance system in Queensland. The current system leaves many motorists and their families vulnerable to financial and emotional devastation. Your petitioners therefore request the House to amend the existing CTP regime to introduce a scheme like that existing in Tasmania and Victoria where, regardless of fault, every injured driver is insured for the costs of medical treatment, rehabilitation services, disability services, income assistance, travel and household support services that are required as a result of injuries from a transport accident and, in the case of drivers killed in a transport accident, funeral expenses, family support and grief counselling.
