If we are to win Olympic medals we must change our attitudes on many issues. We will not win any medals in sprints until we get more west Africans into the country because they are the only ones who win international events, be they Canadian, American or Australian. I have great sympathy for Senator Hayes's comments. While I think 14 is too young, gun clubs are in general very careful about their activities. Under the Bill the child can use the firearm for hunting under the supervision of a specified person over the age of 18. That is vague, particularly when we know how badly legislation is enforced, as Senator Cummins said about drinking and I said about provisional driving licences.
