Boy circumcisions are a health matter

Queensland citizens draws to the attention of the House that in a petition to parliament Hon Frecklington MP said all circumcisions must not be performed negligently or cause significant harm to the child. The Royal Australian College of Physicians say the procedure should be undertaken by an appropriately trained competent medical practitioner, using appropriate anaesthesia, in a safe, child-friendly environment, capable of dealing with potential complications.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to do all within its power to advise all religious bodies that still conduct circumcisions on boys that they should be done by a competent medical practitioner, using appropriate anaesthesia and analgesia, in a safe, child-friendly environment, capable of dealing with potential complications.
