This information shows, yet again, the fallacy and flawed approach of getting rid of the Preventative Health Agency. But not only are they trying to get rid of this agency; they are also and have cut funding to one of the key areas that needs attention, smoking, because when you look at the data for deaths from lung cancer, 20 per cent of the deaths from cancer were attributable to lung cancer. And what has this government done? It has cut the funding to Tackling Indigenous Smoking Program—a program that we know is starting to show results.
