From Qld Senator Larissa Waters 👇
Abortion services must be made available through our public health system. Whether you can access and afford an abortion shouldn’t depend on where you live or whether you have a spare few hundred bucks.
In 2019, Labor’s policy was that in order to receive federal funding, all public hospitals should provide abortion services. Sadly they dumped that policy, and yesterday Albo said he would not revisit that – and tried to avoid responsibility by saying it was simply an issue for state governments.
The Greens are calling on the new government to reinstate its former position, and use its funding power to ensure people can access free abortions at all public hospitals across the country. Given the regressive decisions around the world, this would be a strong statement on protecting reproductive rights.
