Blindness, Mr Speaker, is probably one of the most feared conditions of the normally sighted. If it were not for the advances of modern medicine in identifying conditions in the young that lead to blindness, and the advances in diagnosis and technology, many of us would be looking for white steps, sadly. Friday the 13th also is the day when the Royal Blind Society will be seeking donations from the community for their work. So, Mr Speaker, I would urge members, where it is possible for them to do so, to support the white step program of the Royal Blind Society. If there is ongoing support for the program, we can look forward to a better deal for those who have their sight impaired.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Assembly adjourned at 10.40 pm
