Australian Greens’ health spokesperson, Senator Richard Di Natale said today that the New South Wales Government has led the way by banning all sunbeds, but now the rest of the country needs to catch up.
“The Australian Greens support the campaigners around Australia who are calling on all governments to act as New South Wales has and move to ban sunbeds.
“There is no debate in the medical community – sunbeds are dangerous. They kill people.
“As a doctor, I regularly saw the devastation caused by cancer and melanomas. Banning these cancer beds is a no-brainer.
“If a Liberal government in New South Wales can act on this, the rest of the country has no excuse for inaction.”
