A Queensland court has granted permission for a pregnant 12-year-old girl to have a surgical abortion. An unnamed hospital applied to the Supreme Court for orders after being asked to perform a surgical termination for the child, referred to as "E", who was about nine weeks pregnant. In a decision from mid-June, published online on Wednesday, Justice Catherine Muir said the girl wanted to terminate her pregnancy, and her mother was supportive, but under the law, "a parent cannot consent to the termination on behalf" of her. "The hospital seeks orders from the court in its parens patriae jurisdiction to authorise the termination," Justice Muir said. "These orders were sought because hospital staff are concerned the girl lacks capacity to consent to the termination herself.

Text from AEC: "When should I return my postal vote? You must complete and mark or sign your postal vote by 6pm on election day. Your ballot papers must be received by the AEC no later than 13 days after election day for your vote to count."
Does the AEC have to run a re-count? At any point before the AEC officially declares the result in a seat, a candidate can make a request to that Division’s Returning Officer for a full recount of every ballot paper. The candidate is required to provide reasons for the request, and it’s the responsibility of the Returning Officer to approve or decline that request. If a Returning Officer declines a request for a recount, candidates sometimes appeal the decision to the Electoral Commissioner. The AEC can also conduct a recount of votes independently. While there is no law for when this activity occurs, the AEC often conducts a recount for a seat if the final margin is within a hundred votes.
