The Royal Women's Hospital (thewomens) warns the religious freedom bill threatens patient care by prioritising religious views.

The Royal Women's Hospital has joined forces with 14 of the state's leading community health services in condemning the federal government's controversial proposed religious freedom bill, warning it threatens patient care by prioritising religious views.

"Many people who use health and community services are at risk of having their rights denied or disrespected. Laws that privilege religious views over patient health are unacceptable." Doctors in Victoria already have the right to refuse to refer patients for abortions or euthanasia, although both services are legal in the state.

AFL commentator Kelli Underwood wants women to have more sport broadcasting opportunitiesKelli Underwood is a pioneer in AFL commentary and she is encouraging more women to follow her example and establish a career calling sport on radio and TV. Earn the right not because of gender Well submit their CV’s and attend job interviews like their male counterparts and if they are the best/more qualified for the position they will be successful. Surely Kelli isn’t suggesting women be given these positions purely for being female....🙄 Why ? Why does she want something for others ? She is separate human . Not her business to ‘want ‘ for others . Mind own business , not others & let others want for them self . Perhaps she thinks others are not her equal & need her to want for them .
