The Australian Law Reform Commission told stakeholders its surrogacy review was nearly complete. Days earlier, it had quietly been given six more weeks — and nobody will say why. In this episode, Amber and Emma trace two episodes eight months apart: a roundtable where governance concerns were redirected to private correspondence, and a deadline extension the ALRC's own newsletter never mentioned. They discuss what the Advisory Committee's composition tells us about access and influence, why "workload" isn't an explanation, and why AAWAA keeps asking questions institutions would rather answer privately, or not at all. Full correspondence discussed in this episode is published at womensadvocacy.net.
