Doctors Warn LNP May Limit Queenslanders Access To Abortion and VAD

DRS < 1 mins read

The Doctors Reform Society (DRS) today warned that a LNP government in Queensland may limit Queenslanders access to abortion and voluntary assisted dying for terminally ill people.

"The leader of the Opposition ,Mr Crisafulli,has not come clean about whether the LNP will support restricting Queenslanders rights to abortion or Voluntary Assisted Dying."said Dr Robert Marr OAM  and Vice President of DRS.

"It is vital that Mr Crissifulli stops using weasel words about abortion restrictions not being in LNP plans and states clearly that an LNP government will not support any proposed law change from LNP, Katter or other political party members to roll back current abortion and VAD laws that would restrict Queenslanders access to abortion or VAD.said Dr Marr

Ahead of this weekend’s election, Electric Vehicle Council CEO Samantha Johnson said the next state government, whatever its political stripes, must keep its foot on the pedal to boost EV uptake, to lower costs for households and improve air quality in their communities. As Queenslanders grapple with high living costs, EVs provide significant savings due to lower running expenses and reduced maintenance needs compared to petrol or diesel vehicles.
