Major parties block bill banning shackling during childbirth
Original: childbirth
Australia's Labor and Coalition have joined forces to block a bill that would ban the practice of shackling women during childbirth, drawing criticism after a Guardian report revealed a woman gave birth while chained in a Queensland prison. The vote has sparked debate about the treatment of incarcerated women and maternal rights in Australian prisons.
Why now: Reports of a woman being shackled while giving birth in a Queensland prison have put pressure on politicians over the blocked ban.
