Queensland Election Spotlight on Abortion Law Debate

LNP leader David Crisafulli faces scrutiny over potential abortion law changes as Australian Party vows to introduce repeal bill.

Katter's Australian Party plans to introduce a bill to potentially recriminalize abortion in Queensland if the LNP wins the upcoming election.
LNP leader David Crisafulli has repeatedly refused to confirm whether MPs will have a conscience vote on the proposed abortion repeal bill.
Most LNP MPs, including Crisafulli, previously voted against decriminalizing abortion in 2018, raising concerns about the party's stance.
Labor and union supporters have criticized the LNP's vague position, warning of potential risks to women's rights if the party gains power.
The debate over abortion laws is seen as a distraction from the LNP's core election issues, which focus on crime, health, housing, and cost of living.
