National senate inquiry to investigate abortion access inequities  

 

28 September 2022: Abortion access inequities need to be addressed at a national level. 

While abortion has been partly decriminalised throughout the country, access remains a postcode lottery.  

MSI Australia Managing Director Jamal Hakim said he welcomed a national senate inquiry into abortion access.  

“Roe v Wade in the United States has highlighted the ongoing abortion access issues  in Australia,” he said.  

“Abortion access in Australia remains a postcode lottery, particularly for women and pregnant people in regional and remote communities.  

“The 2020 National Women’s Health Strategy commits to universal abortion access  with bipartisan support. Sadly, little investment has seen  to date.  

“A federal senate inquiry into what can be done at a national level to alleviate the physical and financial barriers to access contraceptives, abortion care and other sexual and reproductive healthcare, with options to improve the quality and availability services is a welcome move.  

“It’s been fantastic for the Ministers for Women to platform reproductive rights, now it’s time for the Ministers for Health to progress broader issues of health equity" 

“We know the federal Labor Government is already looking at this issue and would like to see the national harmonisation of abortion laws and regulations alongside an MBS item number review for medical and surgical abortion.  

“We continually evolve our models of care to make it easier for women and pregnant people to access our services.  

“Following abortion law reform in SA earlier this year, our teleabortion service went national for the first time.  

“This means that wherever people live throughout Australia, they can contact MSI Australia for a telehealth appointment and if they are eligible, they can be couriered medical abortion medication.  

“We will always call for safe, compassionate and universal abortion care.”

We pause to honour our colleagues who've been killed on duty.

For me there are some very personal links.

Angela Rose Taylor was murdered by Craig Minogue and others in the 1986 Russell Street bombing.

I was at the Academy for Constable Taylor's funeral and feel privileged and humbled to have been awarded the Angela Taylor Memorial Prize as Dux of the Academy when I graduated.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice Angela.

Steve Tynan and Damian Eyre were at the Academy with my squad-mates and me.

In 1988 vicious killers lured Steve and Damian to an ambush in Walsh Street South Yarra.

Steve and Damian were cut down with shotgun blasts then finished off with point-blank shots from their own service revolvers. 

I had the privilege of leading the funeral parade with full police honours out of the Victoria Police Academy.

I will never forget right wheeling out of the Academy to be confronted with thousands of police in uniforms representing the whole country standing shoulder to shoulder lining the street.  It was a very long, slow march as one by one they saluted those brave young blokes.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice Steve and Damo.

I also served with Gary Silk, my regular partner on the Port Melbourne divvy van.

In August 1996 Gary and Rod Miller were sitting off an armed robbery target, the Silky Emperor Restaurant in Moorabbin.

Vicious criminals shot and killed them from behind. 

They didn't stand a chance.

It's a privilege to have known and worked with you Gary, thank you for your service and sacrifice.

We talk a lot about our Glorious Dead from wars and we give thanks for our veterans who've served overseas.

Police face deadly risks every day they go to work.

And not just for the months of a deployment.  Year in, year out.

There's no Gold Card for police, no Department of Veterans Affairs looking out for them and no TPI pension either.

Lest We Forget.
