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 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.

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.

Celebrating Family Advocacy's 35th Anniversary

Today in Parliament, Abigail passed a motion congratulating Family Advocacy on 35 years of dedication and commitment to defending the rights and interests of people with disability and building a genuinely inclusive, equal and safe world for all.

Celebrating Animal Liberation's 50th anniversary

Today in Parliament, Abigail gave notice of a motion celebrating Animal Liberation's 50 years of service as Australia's longest-serving animal rights organisation, a milestone also honouring the life and legacy of its founder Dr Christine Townend OAM, whose tireless advocacy inspired the Australian animal rights movement and drove landmark campaigns that have improved the lives of countless animals.
