GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (14:48):</by>  I have already addressed that issue in this chamber before. I am on the record, so honourable members can simply look at <term>Hansard</term>. I have well established my view on this. I find those sorts of images quite appalling. It is not just in Clipsal. There are what I think are unsuitable images of women right throughout our media, right through to just about every publication you ever open. What is the honourable suggesting—that we ban the use of those images in all of our media, in all publications?</text>

          <by role="member" id="1821">The Hon. G.E. GAGO:</by>  And I am answering the question directly. The issue of inappropriate use of images of women is right throughout our society. It is not just Clipsal; they are right throughout society. This government seeks to change social and public attitudes so that those images would simply become unacceptable and phase out of our society, hopefully once and for all.</text>
