This petition of citizens of Queensland draws to the attention of the
House the need for more Australian trained doctors.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to
• call on the Federal Government to immediately take steps to provide the
funding necessary to increase the number of university places for
Australian medical students (in our universities) to a level that will
eliminate our dependence on overseas doctors and
• call on the Queensland Government to ensure these students will have
training positions available in Queensland Hospitals.
