The Queensland Law Reform Commission’s report on decriminalising abortion is set to come before cabinet on July 16, including recommendations for decriminalisation and provision of safe-access zones around clinics.
The Sunday Mail reports that resulting legislation is on track to be introduced in the August parliamentary sittings, with Premier Annastacia Palasczuk allowing a conscience vote for Labor.
Opposition leader Deb Frecklington says she wants to see any proposed legislation before deciding whether allowing a conscience vote for the LNP.
