Women in QLD can get an abortion, they need a consultation with 2 Doctors first and its usually granted, basically on emotional health reasons. Private clinics in Brisbane, 2 at least I can think of, medicare might not pay for it, but its there. Quite amazing the media are making people think its not done in QLD.

I believe that has only happened in the last 12 months though (emotional reasons). Before that specialists were turning patients to NSW for fear of prosecution.

Not just the media, it seems its also the specialists

Private clinics which perform this operation are definately in Brisbane. They have been operating for years, I know this through a previous job.

I just googled the name of one of the Clinics and it came up on the net, along with several others in various regions of QLD. The one I am thinking of has been in QLD decades to my knowledge but as I say 2 Doctors had to assess the patient, however that was all done just prior to the OP. However medical liability may have changed all that - but those private clinics seem up and running still, public hosptials might be different.

remember when John Major did that to Maggie?

Best move he ever made.

At the risk of weakening my own argument - I found this very funny. Nice to have the chaser back for a short period ...

Jut remembered summat not many people know. After my youngest was born, I was told it would kill me to have another baby, so my husband decided to have a vasectomy. He had to get a note from my GP spelling out the medical consequences of further pregnancy to allow his operation, because vasectomy was illegal in Queensland for purely contraceptive reasons. This was the mid 1980s, during the Joh era.

I guess Joh was telling us all to go forth and multiply.

Did you know that Obama's REAL first name is Brian? Doesn't quite have the same ring does it?

...trying to hide his Irish roots

Indeed.

He's not the messiah he's a very naughty boy.

Perhaps the pythons were prescient in their choice of the holy messiah's first name. Since brian is indeed the leader of the free world.
