Victorian Labor puts reproductive rights on election agenda as it warns One Nation could try to wind back abortion access

The Victorian Labor government is announcing new measures to improve access to medical abortion. This move comes as the party puts reproductive rights on the election agenda, likely in response to concerns that One Nation could try to restrict abortion access if they gain power. The warning is significant because a hung parliament could give One Nation leverage to negotiate with the Coalition, potentially leading to changes in abortion laws. This development could have implications for the upcoming state election.

Why it matters

The debate on reproductive rights may not have a direct impact on the economy. However, it could influence voter sentiment and election outcomes.
