The doctors are saying so, the nurses are saying so, the community of Canberra is saying so, and we will continue to say so. This Chief Minister, if she has any ounce of leadership in her hands, should make this Minister resign. If this Minister does not resign, she should sack him immediately and get the thing running again topnotch, so that lives cannot be threatened by the way he runs this health system and the way he has approached industrial relations.
MADAM SPEAKER: The time for the discussion has expired.

Report and S
tatement
MRS GRASSBY: Madam Speaker, I present report No. 21 of 1993 of the Standing Committee on Scrutiny of Bills and Subordinate Legislation. I ask for leave to make a brief statement.
Leave granted.
MRS GRASSBY: Report No. 21 of 1993 contains the committee's comments on two Bills. I commend the report to the Assembly.
POSTPONEMENT OF ORDERS OF THE DAY
MR BERRY (Deputy Chief Minister) (5.06): Pursuant to standing order 150, I move:
That orders of the day, Nos 1 and 2, executive business, relating to the Limitation (Amendment) Bill 1993 and the Taxation (Administration) (Amendment) Bill (No. 2) 1993, be postponed until the next day of sitting.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
TOBACCO PRODUCTS (HEALTH WARNINGS) (AMENDMENT) BILL 1993
Debate resumed from 17 June 1993, on motion by Mr Berry:
That this Bill be agreed to in principle.
MRS CARNELL (Leader of the Opposition) (5.07): We have before us a number of amendments to this Bill which quite substantially change the things I would have said about it prior to the amendments being circulated. As I understand it, the Bill is the result of a 1992 Health Ministers conference that came up with an agreement to look at greatly increasing health warnings on tobacco products and at the amount of the package that these health warnings should cover - a very laudable and appropriate approach.
