(2) It is a defence to prove that at the time
of the alleged contravention—
(a) the employer believed on reasonable
grounds that the employer could not be liable under this Act in relation to
the worker because under section 113 the worker’s employment was not
connected with this State; and
(b) the employer had workers’ compensation
cover in relation to the worker’s employment under the law of the State with
which the employer believed on reasonable grounds the worker’s employment
was connected under section 113.
(3) In subsection (2) —
"workers’ compensation cover" means insurance or registration required under
the law of a State in relation to liability for statutory workers’
compensation under that law.
