WA Liberals' Albany candidate Thomas Brough back in spotlight over abortion comments

ABC  

WA Liberal leader Libby Mettam has ruled out a review of abortion laws while distancing herself from comments made by Albany candidate Thomas Brough. When asked if WA's abortion laws should be reviewed, Mr Brough replied "yes" before saying: "Babies born alive should not be left to die." Ms Sanderson also took aim at Mr Brough's statement that "babies born alive should not be left to die", which he repeated when asked to clarify his position during the press conference. Mr Brough's comments could be referring to a "children born alive" bill introduced to federal parliament in 2022 by Queensland LNP senator Matt Canavan and SA Liberal senator Alex Antic.
