However, it's the taxpayers who really end up paying for the lawyers in what will be a long drawn out court case, etc. Money that could be used elsewhere. |
There is only 2 sections of the Victorian OHS Act that have jail terms attached,
Section 32 Duty not to recklessly endanger persons at workplaces and
Section 39a-g Workplace Manslaughter
I can't see the Government would be charged with those offences
