About this episode
The fight over abortion in Queensland had seemed settled. It was decriminalised in 2018 and has since attained wide public support.
But with Katter’s Australian Party promising to introduce a bill to repeal those laws in the new parliament, it’s become a surprise issue heading into this weekend’s election.
The leader of the Liberal National Party David Crisafulli has insisted he has no plans to change the laws, but if enough of his MPs choose to vote with their conscience, the decision could be out of his hands.
Today, reporter and director of F+K Media Kaitlyn Sawrey, on the brewing fight over abortion rights and how it might affect who governs Queensland.
