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.

Inaccessible housing and transport are not an inconvenience for people with disability - they are a human rights violation that Governments are obligated to fix
Today in Parliament, Abigail gave notice of a motion highlighting a UN report declaring accessibility a fundamental human right, finding that people with disability face participation and mobility restrictions up to 15 times greater than others due to inaccessible infrastructure, yet NSW still lacks enforceable accessibility standards in housing and transport legislation, leaving thousands of people with disability institutionalised or excluded from their communities not because of their impairments, but because of a failure of government design and investment.

The people of NSW want free transport and profit caps on fuel
Today in Parliament, Abigail contributed to a debate supporting the urgent Energy and Utilities Administration Amendment Bill 2026 to strengthen the government's powers to respond to the fuel security crisis, while calling out NSW Labor's inadequate cost-of-living response: freezing Opal fares and offering a token $100 off registration instead of free public transport and profit caps on fuel and groceries.
GDP is not a measure of how well people are living
Today in Parliament, Abigail contributed to a debate in support of the Parliamentary Budget Officer Amendment Bill 2026 as a modest step toward restoring the original 2010 vision of an independent, accessible costing office, while calling out its failure to measure social and environmental impacts alongside fiscal ones and challenging the Labor Government's blind reliance on GDP as a marker of success while living standards fall and billionaires grow richer.
The state of Israel continues to violate the so-called ceasefire in Palestine on a daily basis
