Maybe it means something different in Australia, as I can’t see why there’d be campaigns against sunrooms.

This will bring you to tears!
It did.

I would assume someone against tanning salons.
Melanoma is skin cancer that kills you. She probably had a thing against sunrooms.
No, it’s a tanning salon.
Think about the cancer she died of and it makes sense.
Not true, there are many, many women in this country who would give their life to save their child. Lots of dads, too, if we could help in any way.
My prayers for that little girl to grow up straight and strong. And my prayers also for the dad. The road ahead will not be easy but what a tremendous gift that Elice Hammonds gave to them. What a legacy for one’s life. She is a hero!!
Watch this video, I believe the solarium reference is aimed at what we call tanning parlors:

Wow, that’s a Mom.
“I can’t see why there’d be campaigns against sunrooms.”
I found another reference to tanning beds. Perhaps thats more accurate.
Clare Oliver is peripheral to this story. She just happened to die on the same day.
Oliver was a victim of melanoma, who blamed her cancer on all the time she spent in tanning salons, which is “solarium”, in ‘Strinie. She spent her last months campaigning for regulation of tanning beds in Australian tanning salons.
Here is a similar story from about six months ago. The DUmmies called us “FReeptards” for supporting this woman’s sacrifice.

Solarium can mean tanning booths.
Here’s an American mother who made the same sacrifice:

Current best thinking seems to be that "tanning" level exposure doesn't increase melanoma (other skin cancers, yes). It seems to take "burn" level exposure to increase melanoma.
Wow. A mother’s love is something to behold.
Sure, American women are bad, foreign women good. /s
He's going to have to be careful that the kid doesn't grow up with a guilt trip, but a loving, devoted father can accomplish that.
