Surrogacy debate in Brisbane on Wednesday night

A free debate will be held in Brisbane on Wednesday night about surrogacy. The event, called Politics in the Pub: Making Babies: The Business of Birth will be hosted by New Farm Neighbourhood Centre in the Turbine Room at Brisbane Powerhouse. Speakers include Professor Anusch Yazdani from Queensland Fertility Group, two family lawyers and two speakers from adoptions groups.

I’ll be going- but not as a speaker. It looks as though it will be a good night. I’ve spoken at two previous Politics in the Pub events- both about gay marriage.They were lively, engaging events.
