Funded Activity Summary

The Parliamentary Politics of Abortion Reform in Australia: The Diverse Experience of Nine Jurisdictions, 1965-2010. Abortion is an important political consideration that is implicated in portfolios ranging from reproductive health, to foreign aid and immigration policy. Through extensive archival research and interviews, this project will provide new information about how politicians make decisions on abortion, where they get their information on abortion, and how they understand their representational roles vis-à-vis their constituents. It will contribute new knowledge to the study of democratic representation; provide a new model for the neglected area of the study of comparative state differences; and heighten Australia's research profile in two areas of increased international interest: both abortion and conscience votes.
