Yay! *bounce* I mean, seriously, it should be a TGA decision. Abbott has no medical background that I know of and look at all the fuckups he's had ALREADY as Health Minister. I'd be VERY worried if he was in charge of my rights.
To be honest- they're basing it on their religious views. A lot of the MPs were basing their decision to remove his power over the drug on their personal experiences and of those close to them.
So so so so glad Howard and Abbott got stomped on. Makes me feel oh-so-good ^_^
