NSW is falling behind every other Australian jurisdiction in giving sexual violence victim-survivors the right to pre-record their evidence 

Today in Parliament, Abigail gave notice of a motion commending the parliamentary briefing ‘Reducing re-traumatisation within courts: Enabling Victim-Survivors to Give Evidence on Their Own Terms’ hosted by Fair Agenda, advocating for the option for victim-survivors to be able to pre-record testimony for criminal trials.

Palestine will be free

Today in Parliament, Abigail gave notice of a motion calling on the Australian Government to urgently take concrete action and sanction Israeli war criminals, enforce a total arms embargo and demand the arrest of those responsible for the genocide in Palestine.

The actual cost of leaving domestic and family violence

Today in Parliament, Abigail gave notice of a motion highlighting the growing financial barriers preventing victim-survivors from fleeing domestic violence, made worse by the ongoing housing and cost-of-living crisis, and called on the NSW Government to properly fund the frontline and wraparound support services that can make the difference between safety and staying.

The Minns Labor Government is pushing to protect lazy MPs who pocket their Electoral Allowance as salary while refusing to give overworked and underpaid Parliamentary staff basic workplace protections

The NSW Premier claims to support workers' rights, unless those workers happen to work for MPs. Today in Parliament, Abigail gave a scathing rebuke calling out Labor's decision to override an independent tribunal determination that would have required MPs to spend their Electoral Allowance on their actual duties rather than pocket it as salary, while also blocking a modest staffing increase that three independent reviews, including the Broderick report, identified as urgently needed to protect parliamentary staff from unsafe workloads, power imbalances and the risk of exploitation and harassment.

Cutting people off from disability supports before new services are ready is not a transition plan

Today in Parliament, Abigail contributed to a debate supporting a call for the release of documents regarding the rollout of Thriving Kids, after repeated attempts to obtain basic information about the scale of need, service capacity and procurement for foundational disability supports have been met with vague, non-committal responses, raising serious concerns that people with disability will fall through the gaps before new services are ready to replace those being cut.

The NSW Auditor-General has confirmed GWIC is not protecting greyhounds. It is time to shut down greyhound racing

Today in Parliament, Abigail gave notice of a motion calling on the NSW Government to ban greyhound racing and fund a transition plan for workers and communities, after a damning performance audit, initiated by Abigail's 2024 request to the Auditor-General, confirmed systemic failures across every aspect of the Greyhound Welfare & Integrity Commission's regulatory function, including no proactive monitoring, disciplinary delays of more than two years, no staff training, and no way of measuring whether any of it is actually improving outcomes for greyhounds.

NSW Labor's 2026-27 Budget chooses corporate welfare over community welfare, giving tax breaks to pokies, property developers and billionaires while leaving nurses, injured workers, domestic violence services and people with disability behind

Today in Parliament, Abigail tore apart NSW Labor's so-called responsible budget. It is a budget that hands over a billion dollars in tax breaks to pokies operators, foreign landlords and private schools, pockets $1 billion from injured workers' entitlements, calls a quarter of what the domestic violence sector actually needs a 50 per cent increase, and leaves people with disability, early childhood workers, animals and the climate with next to nothing. All while refusing to touch the banks, billionaires and fossil fuel companies that could afford to pay more taxes.
