These people in the #LNP must have rocks in their head ... #termination of pregnancy is a fundamental part of #WomensRights & #WomensHealth and to even to have a conversation about reversing these rights in #Queensland is a betrayal.

Labor health minister #ShannonFentiman said:

Jann Stuckey doesn’t believe him, and she knows the LNP and David Crisafulli better than anyone. And so if she doesn’t believe him, then I don’t think anyone in Queensland can believe him.

So those Queenslanders that fought hard to get voluntary assisted dying as part of our health scheme, should be really worried today. And all of those women and girls who have fought hard for years to see legal and safe and affordable access to termination of pregnancy should be really scared today.

Queensland opposition leader won’t rule out conscience vote for abortion repeal

Queensland’s LNP opposition leader has refused to rule out allowing a conscience vote for his party members on a bill re-banning abortion.

At a press conference in Brisbane, David Crisafulli repeated “there will be no change” twelve times, but didn’t address comments by former colleague Jann Stuckey.

There will be no change. There will be no change and Queenslanders need to know, despite the government scare campaign, there will be no change.

Stuckey suggested that the party leader would not be able to prevent party members voting for a bill put up by a minor party, like Katter’s Australian Party. She was one of just four LNP MPs to vote for the legalisation of abortion in 2018, with Crisafulli and deputy Jarrod Bleijie voting no.

In 2022 Crisafulli said he believed matters of life and death should always be a conscience vote. He also voted against Labor’s 2021 voluntary assisted dying legislation.

Agriculture spokesperson Tony Perrett told an audience in his electorate in Gympie that he continued to believe abortion was wrong, last week.

Labor health minister Shannon Fentiman said:

Jann Stuckey doesn’t believe him, and she knows the LNP and David Crisafulli better than anyone. And so if she doesn’t believe him, then I don’t think anyone in Queensland can believe him.

And here it comes … any woman voting for the #LNP must appreciate that they are opening the door to the criminalisation of pregnancy termination ! #KAP will raise the bill to criminalise abortion in Qld "quick as you like" leader Rob Katter has vowed. A Qld #LNP government would have a conscience vote on such an issue. David Crisafulli continues to refuse to answer if he'd deny it to members #qldvotes

Time to staff the barricades! #WomensRights #ProChoice #WomensHeath

The Australian newspaper revealed this week that Scenic Rim MP #JonKrause told a candidates’ forum that “we need to ensure that there are enough people in the parliament to be able to **#repeal** those laws or to make significant amendments”.

Guardian Australia can reveal that another MP, the retiring rightwinger #MarkRobinson, told a Christian podcast in August there “are no doubt corrections that will happen over time”.

Robinson said the LNP’s core issues – including youth crime, the cost of living, housing and health services – were “the big thing
