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.
If the NSW Labor Government was serious about ending modern slavery, it would introduce a labour licensing scheme to protect vulnerable workers

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.
Are Labor's workers compensation cuts stripping injured workers of their right to legal assistance?
Today in Question Time, Abigail pressed the NSW Treasurer on whether the sharp increase in legal funding denials for injured workers, including for death benefits claims, was an intended result of last year's workers compensation cuts.

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.
This Bill is not about protecting women. It is a deliberate, dishonest and racist attack on reproductive rights imported straight from the far-right playbook
Today in Parliament, Abigail vehemently opposed the Abortion Law Reform Amendment (Sex Selection Prohibition) Bill 2025 as a bad-faith, evidence-free attempt to chip away at abortion rights through incremental restrictions, a tactic borrowed directly from the US far right that will not prevent sex-selective abortions (which are not happening) but will create real and disproportionate barriers to reproductive healthcare.
