Mary Henry (Independent)

I am sure Senators will be aware of the dreadful event which occurred in Mayo at the weekend where the body of a newborn baby was found by children. Some very ill-informed comment was made in the press by people who should have known better about single mothers and their children. Many Senators deplore what was said. The Leader of the House has been very good in providing time for debates which I have sought recently. I call for a debate on the Crisis Pregnancy Agency report of last year, which we never got around to debating. We might be able to think of some useful propositions to make to Government. Unfortunately, newborn children both alive and dead are still being found every few months.
