6 DONATE LIFE WEEK
The order of the day having been read for the resumption of the debate on the motion of Mr Hayes—That this House:
(1) notes that:
(a) Sunday, 20 February to Sunday, 27 February 2011 is Donate Life Week, Australia’s national awareness week to promote organ and tissue donation; and
(b) organ donation is giving the gift of life, yet is a gift that most people do not know how to give;
(2) acknowledges that:
(a) one third of Australians do not know that family consent is needed for organs to be donated when someone dies;
(b) there are more than 1,000 people on organ donation waiting lists and were only 279 donations in 2009-10, despite the year being our highest annual donation rate in a decade; and
(c) on average, every deceased organ donor in Australia may contribute to between three and ten transplants;
(3) encourages all Australian men and women to:
(a) set some time aside during the week to talk about organ and tissue donations with people closest to them; and
(b) consider organ donations and sign up for the Australian Organ Donor Register; and
(4) pays tribute to organ donors who have kindly given the gift of life ( see item No. 2, Votes and Proceedings )—
Debate resumed.
Debate adjourned, and the resumption of the debate made an order of the day for the next sitting.
