Thank you, and I thank the chamber. Today the Senate pays tribute to the inspirational sporting star Sarah Tait, champion rower, loving wife, mother and daughter, who died tragically on 3 March after her battle with a rare cervical cancer.

Rare and undetectable cancers claim the lives of one child every four days, an adult aged 20 to 39 every day and 10 adults aged 40 to 59 every day. I look forward to the health minister's imminent announcement of board members to the Medical Research Future Fund and also to reviewing the recommendations of the Just a little more time report, which is being tabled today, so we can prevent these rare and undetectable cancers from taking more lives.
