I am informing the House that I may propose a similar amendment on Report Stage which may deal with cancers and some of the issue raised by another Senator about issues such as strokes.

Advertising is being dealt with in other jurisdictions. I lived in America for five years and saw warnings attached to certain gambling and financial products. There are many jurisdictions that have found many ways to attach not what I would regard as sermonising but important information to advertisements. There are many approaches to doing that. Those are issues that the Advertising Standards Authority will be able to deal with and I do not think they should concern us or slow us in placing the requirement in the legislation.
