Controversial contraceptive scheme for beneficiaries to end
A controversial scheme to fund free long term contraceptives for beneficaries and their daughters ends on Monday. The previous government set aside almost a million dollars for the scheme over six years, but Work and Income spent just 200-thousand of that. The grant which covered IUDs, injections and implants, was labelled an insult and intrusive. Catherine Hutton reports.
