To the Honourable the Speaker and members of the House of Representatives in Parliament assembled. The humble petition of the undersigned citizens of Wannon electorate respectfully showeth that:

There is too much crime and violence on TV and depicted in videos and this is breaking down the standards and codes of behaviour in our society.

Your petitioners humbly pray that the House of Representatives, in Parliament assembled, urge the Government to:

1. Urge TV stations to reduce the incidence of crime and violence broadcast every day into people's homes.

2. Introduce tighter controls on the sale and classification of videos so as to limit the access of children to inappropriate material.

And your petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray.
