I move:
That the Senate—
(a) notes the hard work of the Lyme Disease Association of Australia in its ongoing work to raise awareness and funds to provide ongoing advocacy for people living with Lyme disease;
(b) recognises that Lyme disease can be debilitating and have a devastating impact on the lives of people living with it; and
(c) calls on the Government to continue to work with the Lyme Disease Association of Australia to accept Lyme disease as a disease, undertake research, develop a national plan to collect statistics, and develop treatments for people living with Lyme disease.
Question agreed to.
