Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 10 Hansard (18 October) . . Page.. 3203 ..

MR STANHOPE (continuing):

In conclusion, in acknowledging this honour today I mention that Bosom Buddies has its annual fashion parade tonight. I think it is significant that we acknowledge and keep in mind the enormous impact and effect that the Bosom Buddies has, the wonderful work it does and the enormous spirit that the participants in that particular program demonstrate in relation to those women who are living with breast cancer-that cancer which still causes the greatest number of cancer deaths of women in our community. It is good to focus on the enormous devastation that is wreaked individually and on us as a community as a result of breast cancer and the difficulties that we have in both diagnosis and treatment.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Assembly adjourned at 1.09 pm until Tuesday, 28 November 2000, at 10.30 am
