MR MOORE (Minister for Health and Community Care) (5.23), in reply: I thank Mr Wood and the Opposition for their support. Mr Kaine has personally indicated to me his support for the legislation. Really, it is about ensuring good pain management, particularly associated with people who are terminally ill, including cancer and HIV/AIDS patients. It is a very sensible piece of legislation generated by the department. I think all members recognise the importance of it. I appreciate the support from members.
