Senator Pauline Hanson pressed Minister Katy Gallagher in the Senate over revelations that the stillborn baby payment of $4,326 can be accessed in cases of late-term abortion. Hanson warned the policy risks creating financial incentives for deliberate terminations, calling it an appalling loophole that must be closed. She urged the Albanese government to ensure the payment is reserved only for genuine and heartbreaking cases of stillbirth.
