Queensland Election Campaign Ignites Abortion Law Debate

As the October 26 election approaches, abortion law becomes a contentious issue between Labor and the LNP, with potential impacts on voter decisions.

The Queensland election campaign has been disrupted by renewed debates on abortion laws, with the Katter's Australian Party pushing for recriminalization.
LNP leader David Crisafulli faces scrutiny for refusing to clarify his stance on a conscience vote regarding a potential repeal of abortion decriminalization.
Polling indicates that a majority of Queenslanders, including LNP supporters, favor keeping abortion decriminalized, which Labor sees as a potential advantage.
Labor is focusing on healthcare promises, including additional hospital beds and paramedics, while the LNP emphasizes reducing youth crime and healthcare reforms.
Both parties are strategically targeting key regional seats, with Labor defending its hold and the LNP aiming to gain momentum in traditionally Labor-held areas.
