I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that:

(i) the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria (the Global Fund) is working to eventually eradicate deaths from these diseases,

(ii) the Global Fund has raised from national governments and private donors $12.2 billion of the $15 billion it is seeking for the period 2014 to 2016,

(iii) from 2004 to 2013 Australia contributed a total of $400 million to the Global Fund, and in this period the Global Fund invested a total of $4 billion in the Asia-Pacific region, and

(iv) an appropriate contribution to the Global Fund by the Australian Government would be $125 million, which would take Australia's total contribution over three years to $325 million; and

(b) calls on the Australian Government to consider providing replenishment to the Global Fund.
