Fair Work Amendment (Baby Priya's) Bill 2025

Senator ROBERTS (Queensland) (12:08): I've explained my amendment, so I don't need to again. I move One Nation's amendment (1) on sheet 3479: (1)—Schedule 1, item 5, page 5 (after line 16), at the end of section 333X, add: Exclusions (7) Despite subsection (1), this section does not apply if the child: (a) is stillborn because of an intentional termination (other than by child-birth) of a pregnancy; or (b) dies because of an intentional termination (other than by child-birth) of a pregnancy (whether the death occurs before, during or after delivery).

Note: An intentional termination of pregnancy includes, for example, a medical termination involving the administration of a drug. The CHAIR: The question is that amendment (1) on sheet 3479 be agreed to.
