Queensland parliament passes ‘unprecedented’ gag on abortion debate

The issue here is that certain elements of the LNP really do believe women's healthcare amounts to murder. Quite possibly a majority, because the LNP is quite a far right party at its heart. But the last time they were in power in Queensland they went too hard and too fast with enacting their far right policies, and they got turfed out in just one election despite having 78 out of 89 seats, and Labor having a measly 7. So their leader this time wants to present a unified more moderate front, so they can drip feed their destructive policies in the areas that actually matter to them.
