Larissa Waters asks why the government is taking so long to act on reproductive healthcare access
Two weeks ago the government released the Gender Equality Strategy,
which said the government will consider reforms to make access to sexual and reproductive health care easier.
Well, we know what reforms are needed because in May last year we tabled the report for the universal access to reproductive healthcare inquiry – which issued 36 recommendations.
The Government response to these recommendations is now 7 months overdue, but so far there’s no explanation for the Government’s inaction.
