Don't want to start a war-confused about Steve Fielding speaking at home birth rally

[FabFiona]

From what I have heard, the Liberal party is in support of homebirth as well and will be supportive of changes to the legislation to stop homebirth being made effectively illegal.

I'm not so sure on the Liberal Party - Senator Nick Minchin, who is the Leader of the Liberal Party in the Senate said the below on the ABC program Q & A when he was on with Nicola Roxon...

"TONY JONES: Nick Minchin?

NICK MINCHIN: Look, on this subject I agree with Nicola. I think she's in the right space on this. I mean, my wife had our three children in hospital. I personally worry about home birthing. I think that's a very big decision to make and one that, you know, has real risks attached to it and I, frankly, personally, would encourage people to have their babies in hospitals with the proper medical care, and I sympathise with Nicola on this.

NICOLA ROXON: Tony, I think one of the real issues is if we don't find some other resolution, will it somehow drive home birthing underground and actually make it more dangerous.

NICK MINCHIN: Yeah."
