NSW Premier Minns seeks support for compensation reform

NSW Premier Chris Minns received an enthusiastic welcome from the business community, urging them to support reforms to the state's struggling workers' compensation scheme. He warned the scheme's future is at risk. Minns, speaking at a Business NSW event, stated the workers' compensation scheme could collapse in five to ten years without reform, a shift from his earlier two-year prediction. He is seeking changes to address rising psychological injury claims. The Premier's call for support comes as the government's proposed reforms face opposition from the Coalition, Greens, and unions. The Premier's stance has aligned him with business interests.
