(iii) over 200 million women who want to avoid pregnancy are not using a modern method of family planning, (iv) in line with the International Conference on Population and Development Programme of Action, and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, all couples and individuals should have the right to decide freely and responsibly the number, spacing and timing of their children and to have the information and means to do so, and (v) at the London Summit on Family Planning, hosted by the United Kingdom Government and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in July 2012, the Australian Government announced it will double its funding for family planning services to more than $50 million per year by 2016, up from $26 million in 2010; and (b) calls on the Government to continue to fund family planning, including funding for initiatives that assist developing country governments to improve access and reduce barriers to family planning in the 2012-13 budget and beyond. Question put and passed. Statement by leave: The Leader of The Nationals in the Senate (Senator Joyce), by leave, made a statement relating to the motion. | |
