Today in the Federation Chamber sensible bipartisian behaviour and good reason from twelve Members supporting Coalition MP Dr Mal Washer’s last private member motion and the first ever to address needlestick and sharps injuries. This motion has the potential to eliminate up to 30,000 of these potentially life-threatening workplace injuries sustained by Australian healthcare workers each year. As a nurse sustaining multiple sharps and Needlestick injuries over a 30-year plus career and as a long-term researcher and advocate for mandating availability of safety engineered sharps devices that eliminate this risk, my faith in Australian politics has been somewhat restored. Too bad Australia lags at least a decade behind the US and several years behind Canada and Europe until legislation mandating safety engineered sharps devices is promulgated.
If any ACIPC members or others are interested in accessing a recording of the very interesting debate you can follow this link to request a copy. http://www.aph.gov.au/News_and_Events/Watch_Parliament/How_do_I_request_a_copy_of_Parliamentary_proceedings Within 6 hours I had received unique access to a downloadable version of the debate. It was interesting live and compelling watching post event.
The 12 MPs who spoke in support of Dr Washer’s motion are listed below. There would be great merit in the College and individual members writing or contacting these politicians to express our thanks and to request their ongoing support and commitment beyond today and September’s election. If we remain silent on this issue we may well lose this one chance which is the first one I’ve experienced in more than 25 years in the field.

Thanks Cath,
Great session, great support for a watershed motion. And a great suggestion re all of us writing to each member who spoke – if you track down their email addresses would you mind sharing them with us?
