QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr KATTER (Kennedy) (14:54): Health Minister, the Life-saving List campaigners have taken Australia's bone marrow donor registry from 168,000 to nearly 190,000. Three years ago, you said Australia had not moved fast enough to help blood cancer patients find donors and promised action to grow the registry. In these three years, Australia has lost 18,000 lives, 20 people a day.

For many, including my nephew Liam, it is too late. Minister, have you really done everything you can to reverse Australia's continuing failure to meet our international obligations in this area?
