The Briefing

Should a convicted murderer be allowed access to IVF? Part Two


Listen Later

Alicia Schiller is a convicted murderer – and the Victorian Government has given her permission to start IVF treatment during her sentence.

She stabbed her roommate to death in 2014 and she’s currently serving a 16-year-sentence in a maximum-security prison in Victoria. The decision has provoked outrage from the family of her victim, from politicians and members of the public.

If she gets pregnant, it’s being reported that she plans to raise the child with her in prison for the first five years, then hand the child over to her parents while she serves what's left of her sentence.

In part two of this special two-part episode of The Briefing, Victorian Liberal MP Brad Battin argues the Victorian Government should stop Schiller having a child.
