Speaker, I move without notice on behalf of the Chief Whip of the Opposition:
That the House -
1) notes with pride that a South African doctor, Dr Linda-Gail Bekker, has won the Royal Society Award for HIV and TB infection research;
(2) further notes that Bekker's research focused on how TB epidemiology has changed in the HIV era with a specific focus on the six-fold increase South Africa has seen over the past 20 years;
(3) commends Bekker for her innovative thought and research into finding novel answers and effective strategies to turn the unacceptably high HIV and TB infection figures in South Africa around;
(4) congratulates her on winning this award; and
(5) encourages her to keep up the important contribution she is making in the fight against this insidious disease.
Agreed to.
