Matt Smith | Green | none | unconditional | with disclosure vetoes | I believe the most control in these issues should be given to the child upon reaching the age of 16. |
Barbara Sullivan | Liberal | with disclosure vetoes | with disclosure vetoes | I would favour a system that would give adult adoptees access to their birth records unless the birth parents refused consent for access to those records.
