STILLBIRTHS

Adjourned debate on motion of Hon. I.F. Evans:

That the Legislative Review Committee inquire into and report on the need for coronial jurisdiction for stillborn children and in particular—

(a) whether 28 weeks gestational age or any period beyond 28 weeks is the point of which stillbirths should come within coronial jurisdiction;

(b) whether some other criteria such as death by unexpected, unusual, violent or unknown causes should be applied to bring stillbirths within coronial jurisdiction; and

(c) any other related matter.

(Continued from 15 September 2010.)

Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (11:20): On his behalf, I advise the house that the member for Davenport is happy to withdraw this motion on the basis that, at his instigation, the Legislative Review Committee picked up an inquiry with very similar terms of reference. I therefore move:

That this order of the day be withdrawn.

The SPEAKER: Member for Morialta, you are withdrawing the motion on behalf of the member for Davenport?

Mr GARDNER: Yes.

Motion carried; order of the day withdrawn.
