My constituency question is to the Minister for Health. Research has found that Australia has some of the highest rates in the world of babies born with permanent brain damage and other disabilities where their mothers drank alcohol while pregnant. In my electorate of Murray there are some 50 cases of foetal alcohol spectrum disorder identified. Can the minister update the House on the status of the government's $9.2 million National FASD Action Plan? It is a great plan, and it is good to hear about it.
