Dr ALLEN (Higgins) (13:37): I rise to talk today about the health safety issues of button batteries. As a trainee doctor I would get chills down my spine if I got a call from the emergency department that we had a button battery case. In Australia there are 20 such cases each week. Babies see button batteries as bright, shiny, fun things to put in their mouth and swallow. As doctors we saw them as exploding time bombs that, if swallowed, stick in the throat and, if not removed, eventually erode a hole in the baby's oesophagus and aorta, catastrophic bleeding and, all too often, a tragic and unexpected death. As a mother of four, I know how hard it is to monitor every little object crawling babies put in their mouths. Last week I met with Alison, who, tragically, lost her daughter Bella in these awful circumstances. There is no word to describe the loss of a child, and Alison is doing all that she can to make sure no other parent suffers the tragedy that has so deeply affected her, her husband, her family and indeed the whole community. Protective regulations such as adding a bitterant coating to all button batteries so that babies spit out the battery, rather than swallow it, should be legislated and monitored across all products that contain button batteries—in particular, toys. There is now an urgent need to increase product safety at the legislative level to stop unsafe products, both domestic and from overseas, from entering the marketplace.
