Australia’s
MCS Report
On the 9th July, 2003, South Australia’s Upper House, the
Legislative Council, voted unanimously to support an Australian
Democrat's Motion, The Hon. Sandra Kanck, requesting the Social
Development Committee enquire into and report on multiple chemical
sensitivity. The Social Development Committee is a standing
Parliamentary Committee of six elected representatives, three from
the Upper House and three from the Lower House, who regularly
investigate issues of public concern. A Parliamentary Enquiry into
mcs is a big step forward and a great opportunity for people
suffering chemically induced illnesses and their supporters, to
tell their story and present their case to Legislators. The Enquiry
will help to inform the basis for future Public Health Policy and
guide reforms in Chemical Regulation.
Submissions to the Enquiry are now
open and will be formally considered from February, 2004 and are
open for WORLD-WIDE SUBMISSIONS. I have not been advised of a
closing date, so people who suffer mcs / chemical injury / illness
/ intolerance / sensitivity / chemically induced illness /
environmental illness may present their stories "as they have to
live it" and any documentation whatsoever supporting this
chemically induced illness may be submitted also. The postal
address for Submissions:- Ms. Robyn Schutte, Secretary, Social
Development Committee, Parliament Hourse, North Terrace, Adelaide
5000 South Australia. The email address is for Submissions:-
The bottom line is to tell it as it
is, they do want to hear each person's story, the pain, suffering,
difficulty / impossibility accessing any health care, home health
care, home help or any help whatsoever, educational facilities,
social events (depending on the level of chemical sensitivities as
this is variable), the isolation, the ridicule, abandonment - this
is what it is all about to tell your story of how you are affected.
In Australia, many people have presented multiple Submissions and
will continue to do so.
Please take this opportunity to
submit your information to influence National Policy which will in
turn, impact upon other Governments by example, please take the
time to inform these officials of the realities of chemically
induced illnesses to the best of your abilities.
Let us make this the year in which we
can be granted the recognition required for all people world-wide
suffering mcs / chemical injury / illness / intolerance /
sensitivity / chemically induced illness / environmental
illness.
Thank you, Diana Buckland, Australia.
