Tasmania regulation
This order says that the compulsory workers’ rehabilitation and compensation insurance (the policy required by section 97(1) of the Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988) does not have to cover liability arising from an "act of terrorism" (see section 4). It took effect on 1 January 2002.
Mechanically, insurers are not obliged to indemnify employers or employees for terrorism-related liabilities; those risks therefore remain with employers, employees, or optional insurers who may offer separate terrorism cover, affecting risk allocation and insurance costs.
