SARAH PALLETT (Labour—Ilam): Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise with enormous pride this evening to speak on the Accident Compensation (Maternal Birth Injury and Other Matters) Amendment Bill, and wanted to add my gratitude to the Education and Workforce Committee who very kindly put up with me for a few meetings whilst we worked through this piece of legislation together. I commend its chair enormously, my colleague Marja Lubeck, and, of course,  acknowledge Minister Sepuloni, who from the very beginning has been absolutely determined that this legislation will ensure that all birthing injuries be covered.
