Please send an email thanking Dr McDonald for his support. His email is macquariefields@parliament.nsw.gov.au. With support from Coalition Senator Fiona Nash in the Federal Senate, and now Labor Member Dr McDonald in the NSW Parliament, this is no longer a party politics issue. It is time for Governments to work together for the future Health of all Australians. In the words of Dr McDonald: “All members of the House should be aware; this should be an issue above politics.”

    This confirms that the issue is beyond political affiliation. It is a problem of national interest that needs full resolution.
