I move:
- That the Senate—
- (a)
- recognises that, according to a survey of parents commissioned by the Coalition on Food Advertising to Children:
- (i)
- 86.2 per cent support a ban on advertising of unhealthy foods at times when children watch television, and
- (ii)
- 88.7 per cent agree that the Government should introduce stronger restrictions on food advertising at times when children are watching television; and
- (b)
- calls on the Government to support a ban on food advertising during peak viewing times of children.
Question negatived.
