Order of Business

The sooner we can do something to prevent them from selling their wares the better. Will the Leader investigate the possibility of using the expertise within the walls of this Chamber, legal and otherwise, to formulate a group to specifically examine this topic and make recommendations to the Minister responsible in order that legislation can be implemented as soon as possible to ban these shops from the main street? I accept it is a complex issue, one that it will be difficult to address. As Senators Norris and O'Toole pointed out, one only has to change one component to allow such products to be sold legally. It is so important that I urge the Leader to consider bringing together the expertise available in this Chamber to assist the Minister in bringing forward legislation as a matter of urgency.
