Rockhampton LNP candidate Donna Kirkland sidesteps questions when pressed on views about abortion

An LNP candidate in the Queensland election who previously shared a social media post saying abortion is a "human rights abuse" has repeatedly sidestepped questions on the issue. Instead, Ms Kirkland, who is a former Rockhampton councillor, repeatedly responded by saying "it's not a part of our plan" and "we have ruled it out". In 2019, Ms Kirkland shared a post on Facebook from the Australian Christians Party that described abortion as "the greatest human rights abuse of our time". 'I think she's had a fair crack' When asked if she had ruled out a conscience vote on abortion, Ms Kirkland replied: "We have ruled it out."
