I share Senator Fitzgerald's concern at the escalation of gangland crime and not only murder but double murder on our streets. When feasible I would wholeheartedly welcome a debate on this matter. My concern is that one of these gangland activities will involve some innocent member or members of the public who may be injured or killed.

Will the Leader arrange briefing documents in regard to regulations governing health related service providers, such as all types of counselling services, professional, ethical and so on? Particularly today one will be drawn to media coverage on pregnancy advice and counselling services. There is also a huge industry in psychotherapy and cosmetic surgery. Will the Leader to ask the Minister for Health and Children when she comes before the House on the health debate to include these issues and the regulations governing them? Perhaps we could have the information prior to the Minister coming before the House.
