A number of different and interesting issues have arisen from the debate on this section, perhaps more than I had expected. It is interesting the difference of analysis and prediction.

Senator Bradford confronted us with what one of the medical consultants and obstetrician said at the hearings. I did not hear his comments being contradicted by Government, at any point, to provide further resources for further training. That person did not appear to think that it was going to be business as usual. We have been reassured by Senator O'Keeffe that it will be business as usual and that all we are doing is legislating for what is happening already.
