With one person diagnosed with cancer every 20 minutes in Queensland, we need to continue to advocate and raise awareness about this horrible disease. Last Thursday, 4 February was World Cancer Day, focusing on the fact that everyone has a part to play in reducing the burden of cancer, whether it is by speaking out, supporting others or making healthy lifestyle choices. One hundred and thirty thousand people will be diagnosed in 2016, but two in three patients will survive cancer. The biggest risk for breast cancer is ageing, which I found out recently when my sister was diagnosed and survived a mastectomy. I wish I could be there to support you.

I thank the member for Ryan. In accordance with standing order 43, the time for members' statements has concluded.
