00:15and currently held on a margin of 0.1%.

00:18Mr Crisafulli made a funding promise for a network of new CCTV cameras if the LNP wins

00:24the election.

00:25However, the party's candidate, former MP Marty Hunt, was quizzed about his position

00:30on abortion in light of a social media post from 2020 by a pro-life organisation that

00:36described Mr Hunt as one of their best pro-life politicians.

00:44Asked if his views had changed in the last four years, Mr Hunt said he was committed

00:48to no changes to the law.

00:50Look, I'm proud to stand here with the leader today and the LNP team.

00:54I'm part of this team and I'm committed to what the leader said, no changes to the abortion

00:59laws.

01:00That's my commitment.

01:01And you're committed to that.

01:02I understand you're committed to that, no change.

01:03Have you changed your private views over the last four years?

01:07The team has made it clear and I'm proud to stand with the team and make the commitment

01:10that the team has made that there will be no changes to the abortion laws.
