I want it explicitly stated on the record by a Minister that travelling for an abortion is considered a time-sensitive imperative medical reason. No Minister has done so for 18 months. Last month, I asked the Minister in the House directly and he did not come back. Senator Gavan offered to give him time and he still refused to say or acknowledge it. He had to go to check it out. He never came back and last night the Government voted down the proposal. Women can not wait any longer for this clarification. They are travelling today.
