Dr Gordon Moyes:<\/strong> On behalf of Family First I speak in support of the motion. I thank the Hon. Kayee Griffin and the Hon. Marie Ficarra for their passion and concern with respect to ovarian cancer. One of the good things about the current Government, which does not receive proper acknowledgment, has been its support over the past 10 years of a range of medical research and cancer research initiatives. I praise the Government for its continued work. I support Teal Ribbon Day. I am a donor to the Gynaecological Oncology Research Foundation and will be at the breakfast for parliamentarians tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Ovarian cancer is not widely screened for and Family First is concerned for the welfare and health of women everywhere. As a layman, one of the problems I see with this cancer is that the symptoms are very common. Many women over the age of 30 have common symptoms such as being overweight, feeling bloated and having pelvic cramps. I notice that the literature gives severe warnings to women against the use of talcum powder. Being the husband of a lady who enjoys very fine talcum powder and who is always delighted when I give her some, I do note the warning about powder placed near a woman&#8217;s genital area. There is significant evidence that powder grounds move and can coagulate around the ovaries, which could be a major cause of ovarian cancer. There is a simple remedy: not to use talcum powder. I encourage members to support the motion and again thank the previous speakers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reverend the Hon.
