I was outraged by the remarks of Senator McCarthy. It is an insult to women everywhere that he should suggest more is spent on animal welfare than on women's health. I suggest that the Senator does not hold women in high regard. Is the Labour Party trying to score a cheap point on the backs of sick and vulnerable women? Putting publicity before patients is not on. I wish to bring a sense of balance to the debate. Unlike the Labour Party, I think it is wonderful that we have the opportunity to debate the issue of breast cancer and its treatment services.
