Backroom battles in Canberra + When religion & abortion rights collide

Monday Headlines: Albo to reveal ministerial lineup today, Pope calls for ‘no more war’ in first Sunday message, a tonne of cocaine seized off NSW's east coast, and Brisbane has secured the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo for 2026!

Deep Dive: Should doctors be required to help patients access abortion services, even if it conflicts with their personal beliefs?

That was the question at the centre of a major pro-life protest that brought parts of Sydney’s CBD to a standstill last week.

At the heart of the controversy is a new bill introduced by Greens MP and former GP Dr Amanda Cohn, aimed at expanding access to abortion across New South Wales.

In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou speaks with Dr Amanda Cohn and one of its leading critics, University of Adelaide law professor Dr Joanna Howe.
