Premier Must Clarify Surrogacy Confusion

Media Release.

Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk says the Premier must clarify his government’s position on surrogacy laws.

“There are reports that the Attorney-General has quietly dropped plans to amend laws to ban access to surrogacy services by heterosexual de facto couples, single women and same-sex couples,” Ms Palaszczuk said.

“Our current laws are consistent with laws across Australia and we don’t want Queensland going backwards under Jarrod Bleijie’s plans.

“The Premier’s office is today saying no decision has been made, yet before the election the Premier said: ‘We’re not making any changes to the laws on those matters.’

“The Premier must make a clear statement today on the position of his government,” Ms Palaszczuk said.
