Labor leader Bill Shorten has argued Cricket Australia's dismissal of a female employee who criticised the Tasmanian government's abortion policies demonstrates the need for a national anti-corruption commission.
Angela Williamson, 39, was sacked last month by CA after a state government staffer allegedly alerted cricket authorities to her critical tweets about a lack of access to abortion.
Mr Shorten said claims of interference by the Tasmanian government must be investigated.
"Women in Tasmania do not have access to the same medical resources that women on the mainland have, this is wrong, and it just shows you the Liberal Party don't get health care," he told reporters in Burnie on Tuesday.
"If they have released private health information, or if they have sought to have this woman blacklisted, that shows you why we need a national anti-corruption commission in Australia."
Ms Williamson travelled to Victoria to have a pregnancy terminated at her own expense after the state's only private provider closed in January.
She says she was sacked because of comments made on social media about the state government's failure to make surgical abortions available in Tasmania.
Ms Williamson was also the target of cyber trolling by a senior Liberal government staffer, who sent screenshots of her comments to Cricket Australia, in what she believes was an attempt to have her sacked.
She says she lobbied a senior Tasmanian government official in June about abortion services and approached them again weeks later after learning Cricket Australia was unhappy with her tweets.
Ms Williamson believes personal information she gave anonymously to the Tasmanian government was leaked back to her employer.
Cricket Australia dismissed Ms Williamson on June 29, citing her "offensive comments" and "disparaging tone" as the reason behind her sacking.
Ms Williamson, who was a manager of public policy and government relations at CA, has taken the organisation to the Fair Work Commission over her dismissal.
Tasmanian Health Minister Michael Ferguson has denied he or anyone else in the government lobbied Cricket Australia to have Ms Williamson sacked.
"The government is not responsible for HR decisions made by Cricket Australia," Mr Ferguson said.
"Suggestions that the government has disclosed private information, not on the public record, to either Cricket Australia or Cricket Tasmania is wrong."
Mr Ferguson said the government had not made complaints about Ms Williamson to either organisation.
Upper House Tasmanian MLC Ruth Forrest has also called for an inquiry into the government's role in the sacking.
"It's just disgraceful that her reputation is being dragged through the mud over a personal experience she dared to share," she said.
"The Government's and Cricket Australia's actions continue the shaming and stigmatisation of women, regarding their sexual and reproductive health."
