The government is trying to change the Sex Discrimination Act to allow states to restrict access to in-vitro fertilisation services after a court found Victoria's ban on single women accessing IVF breached the Act. 

Mr ANDREN says he will not support the controversial bid to prevent single women and lesbians from accessing IVF. 

He has criticised Prime Minister JOHN HOWARD for taking a stand on this issue yet continuing to refuse to move on mandatory sentencing or apologise to the stolen generation. 

Mr ANDREN says the legislation targeted lesbians and single women as less than worthy members of the kind of utopian three-fronter red brick, Holden in garage, wife at the Hills Hoist society the prime minister and some of his colleagues still clung to. 

The legislation, with some amendments, was passed by the House but it is expected to face a tougher passage through the Senate.
