It was a pleasure to have Australian actress and entertainer Olivia Newton-John visit Parliament to meet with a range of people including members of the Australian Parliament’s Brain Cancer and Tumour Awareness Group (BC&TAG) and hear about her battle with breast cancer and her sister’s battle with brain cancer.

I was particularly pleased to learn of the excellent work being done by the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute, which is working to translate scientific discovery into new, better cancer treatments.
