Oh no! they overturned the bill which puts a ban on the RU486"Devil" drug that I was talking about earlier. Parliament voted against Health Minister Tony Abbott, and stripped him of his control over the drug ... he had been protesting against it, saying that it went against his moral conscience ... So now it's in the hands of Therapeutic Goods Administration, and in every companies goal, then hope to gain capital, so it's only a matter of time before they make it readily available.
The arguments involved have also been quite bizarre and controversial, and you must admit, quite far-fetch and hilarious.
Kerry Nettle, a Greens MP member wore a shirt with this message on it during the saga:"Mr Abbott get your rosaries off my ovaries." It was also ironic that the t-shirt was sponsored by the Young Women's Christian association.
An anti-abortionist made the highly controversial comment that in 50 years, Australia will probably turn into a muslim country. Of course, she was trying to illustrate a point but she flew pass it with her bizarre example.
..... anyway, that's a bit of politics for you. It's shocking though that the bill was passed because sooner or later, it will be available under prescription. Which is horrible! because one pill will equate to one death and according to Ten News, the drug companies are beginning to manufacture them in its pack, which I assume would include at least 10 if not more. :(
