Senator Mary White rightly stated that our objective must be to communicate the message that such behaviour is not acceptable in this State. One way of ensuring it is not acceptable is to have a body of legislation in place that allows us to criminalise and prosecute those who abuse others in this way.

Senator Mullen remarked that he appreciated the sincerity of certain individuals on this issue. I hope he is not implying by omission that there is not the same sincerity on the part of the Government.
