Australian Greens' response to Cancer Council Australia election priorities, 2010
The next Australian government is uniquely placed to reduce the impact of our most feared disease.
The numbers of Australians diagnosed with cancer, their survival and quality of life all depend on evidence-based health policy. Decisions made by the next Australian government will have a profound impact on cancer outcomes in Australia – not just over the next three years, but well into the future.
The 2010 election provides an ideal opportunity for the next Australian government to commit to an evidence-based blueprint to reduce the impact of cancer in Australia.
