David Norris (Independent)

I regard what Senator Henry had to say as extremely germane to the Bill and she made an impressive and practical case. There is no doubt this is the sort of reality in which people operate and if somebody in her responsible position finds it impossible to get the kind of information on which proper decisions about the health of the country will be made as a result of the operation of this Bill, it is a complete and utter disgrace. It is appropriate to say that because Senator Henry is arguing, as are the rest of us, for a cessation of this farcical debate so that we will be placed in possession of the information necessary to construct a proper debate in this Parliament. Every word she said was completely and utterly relevant.
