The SMH reported on 13 October that Federal Health Minister Tony Abbott was sitting on a IVF report whose conclusions he didn't like. I'm just going to go and see if it's been extracted from under him and made public. (I confess I am not a great fan of reproductive technology, which I think has often been used to exploit women, but I also understand that my own urge to have a child is very slight compared to other people's; in the end it's no more my business than it is Mr Abbot's.) ETA: Abbott has promised to release the report by year's end.
