WA:Hairdressers rally against deregulation

Hairdressers have rallied in Perth to protest against proposed deregulation they say
will endanger clients in the hands of unqualified workers using harmful chemicals.

About 100 hairdressers closed their salons today to rally at Parliament House .. urging
politicians not to vote for the bill.

Western Australia Hairdressing Society director MICHAEL TURNER says urgent action is
needed to ensure the safety of West Australians.

The Western Australia government wants to abolish the hairdressing board as part of
plans to cut the number of government committees .. and Premier COLIN BARNETT is standing
by the government's move.
