QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator HANSON (Queensland—Leader of Pauline Hanson's One Nation and Pauline Hanson's One Nation Whip) (14:45): Minister, you never answered the question, which was: why is it made to women who deliberately abort a baby? Minister, this policy risks creating a financial incentive for late-term abortion where Australian women can terminate a pregnancy up to the day before birth.

They can terminate a pregnancy up to the day before birth, allowing women to receive a lump-sum payment and access to paid parental leave of up to $22,754. Why is the Albanese government funding the murder of healthy babies? Some are left to die in a kidney dish for up to five hours.
