I move:
That the motion be amended by the addition of the following words:
(4) notes that:
(a) June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM), during which Bowel Cancer Australia seeks to raise awareness of a disease that claims the lives of 77 Australians every week;
(b) BCAM has a positive message—saving lives through early detection—as bowel cancer is one of the most curable types of cancer if found early; and
(c) in 2014, about 16,980 Australians were diagnosed with bowel cancer (9,250 in men and 7,730 in women), and an estimated 19,960 are expected to be diagnosed in 2020; and
(5) recognises that:
(a) bowel cancer can develop without any early warning signs;
(b) if bowel cancer is detected before it has spread beyond the bowel there is a 90 per cent chance of surviving more than five years;
(c) regular screening every two years for people aged 50 and over can reduce the risk of dying from bowel cancer by up to 33 per cent; and
(d) more than 12,000 suspected or confirmed cancers will be detected through free screening, saving between 300 and 500 lives each year; and
(6) encourages Members to continue to support efforts to raise awareness of the importance of early detection as well as the signs and symptoms of bowel cancer.
