News from the Inquiry. Headlines before the heads line.

Here are some headlines we could have gone with today:

SIRA praises itself for its stakeholder engagement program.

"It's regular and transparent" the document said to our reporter,  "and its an engagement". When the document was asked what it meant by Stakeholder it said: "unions, insurers, business groups, health provider representatives and legal representatives. Y'know, people who aren't injured workers."


SIRA tells Inquiry that injured workers with 10% or less permanent injury can receive up to seven years worth of treatment: Injured Workers around NSW caught peering into the atmosphere in the vain hope of finding a flying pig.

These headlines stem from the Answers to Questions on Notice SIRA provided the Upper house committee. The author only wishes these were just for laughs.
