It has a number of serious implications and it is before Cabinet... I, attending the conference as the NSW Minister for Health, expressed certain opinions. The matter is before Cabinet. Possibly the Commonwealth has the most important responsibility. The performance of NSW in the... |

Has this so-called research foundation formed an advisory committee of which the professor of medicine at the University of Sydney ... Blackburn, is a member? Has another member of the advisory committee, professor M.J. Rand, professor of pharmacology at the University of Melbourne, said that he does not believe that t... |

Is NSW one of the five States? Will the Minister take urgent action to ensure that NSW implements such labelling of cigarettes? If the Minister is not willing to do this, will he give his reasons for disregarding the advice and findings of many authoritative organizations on the subject? - Mr Jago: The placing on cigarette packages of a warning, as well as information on the tar and nico... |

Did the Minister reply ... that the situation regarding legislation compelling cigarette manufacturers to print warning labels on cigarette packets 'differs in the several States of Australia'? I now ask if the Minister is aware of a statement issued last week by the Tasmanian Minister for Health, Dr Abbott, as chairman of the health ministers? conference. That all Ministers agreed on the need for warning labels, but NSW was the only government that had yet to make a policy decision? Is the Minister aware further that Dr Abbott ... said that once NSW agreed, that legislation wo... |

With the WHO responsible for campaigns against smoking in the USA and Great Britain, surely we must ask whether in all conscience the Government can refrain any longer from entering this field. It must declare where it really stands in the fight against lung cancer and other diseases that emanate from c... |

Is the Minister's attitude to be interpreted to mean that he does not believe cigarette smoking causes cancer or does it mean that the Government is anxious not to take action that would restrict the large profits made by cigarette companies? - Mr Jago: .. I think it would be best for me to consider the question before giving a reply. [interruption order!] |
