Sports Minister Mark Mitchell confirmed that work on a potential law change was progressing.

CEO of head injury organisation Headway, Stacey Mowbray, told Heather du Plessis-Allan, "I would like to see a mix of legislation, but also education. I don't think, legislation alone is going to be enough." LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
