Backlash against Right-wing Labor MP Madeleine Ogilvie, highlighted the lack of abortion facilities, care and funding in Tasmania.
Ms Ogilvie recently removed her campaign posters from the windows of the former Hobart abortion clinic, which closed in December 2017, stating she never wished to upset anyone when the posters were put there.
Opposition leader Bill Shorten, is promising his government would fund a $1 million “reproductive health hub” to fill this service gap, however state Health Minister, Michael Ferguson says it’s disappointing such a sensitive issue is being used for political gain.
