NSW law: Serious maladministration is "conduct … that is unlawful, or unreasonable, unjust, oppressive or improperly discriminatory, or based wholly or partly on improper motives".

Kudos to these doctors for pushing and taking it further, and at least it sparks a discussion about abortion access for rural and regional women.
And thank you, ABC.
