Health Bill 2006: Committee Stage
3:00 pm
Mary Henry (Independent)
I share the Senator's concerns. A person of lesser moral fibre and toughness than Professor Des O'Neill might have buckled under the pressure of that issue. I cannot understand why people cannot be afforded absolute privilege. It is very serious for individuals to be sued and it could be a terrible brake on making sure we had proper reports and that people felt confident enough to stand behind what they knew to be the truth.
