A controversy eruption in May 1994 in Australia over the appointment of Bronwyn

Bishop as shadow minister of health. Her first public statement was: "If a product is

legal then it should be able to be advertised. It can be cigarettes today, alcohol

tomorrow, Mars bars the day after...I say to those people who believe [tobacco] is a

dreadful product to make your case. They have not done so." The president of the

Australian Medical Association called for her resignation, and a press commentator

termed her comments "one of the most absurd statements any spokesperson for

health has ever issued."
