I move:

That the Senate—

(a)   notes the Government’s pre-election promise of a $75 million ‘Debt2Health’ swap with Indonesia which would allow Indonesia to benefit from additional funding from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria; and
(b)   urges the Government to significantly increase overseas aid funds for the treatment and prevention of tuberculosis.

Question agreed to.
