The incorporated speech read as follows—

Amendment 9

Access to records of a child

This is a simple and commonsense amendment. Family First believes it essential that bath parents have access to records and information about their child, including information about their child’s medical, dental, law enforcement and school records. If we want to ensure shared parenting, we have to be able to share information about a child. There is the opportunity for the court to decide in special cases if providing that information is inappropriate.

I would appreciate senators’ support for this amendment.
