I move:

That the Senate:

(a) notes the resolution of the 70th World Health Assembly on Cancer Prevention and Control in the context of an integrated approach;

(b) expresses its support for the resolution and for global co-operative efforts to reduce the incidence and mortality of cancer; and

(c) urges the Australian Government to:

  (i) consider and, where appropriate, implement the actions the resolution calls upon member states to implement, and

  (ii) where appropriate, support the Director-General of the World Health Organisation in implementing the actions the resolution calls upon him to implement.

Question agreed to.
