A pox on both your houses!

Today during Question Time, Abigail shamed both the Government and the Opposition for refusing to implement the National Construction Code silver standard, highlighting the major parties’ ongoing neglect of accessibility in social housing for people with disability.

When will the NSW Government help end disability housing discrimination?

Today Abigail gave notice of a motion in Parliament calling on the NSW Government to stop dragging its feet and finally sign onto the 2022 National Construction Code’s Livable Housing Design Silver Standards for minimum housing accessibility as a matter of urgency, in light of the Building Better Homes team’s recent report on the status of Victoria’s implementation of the standards.

The NSW public transport network remains shamefully inaccessible

Today Abigail contributed to a debate in Parliament on an active transport Bill relating to micromobility, vehicles and smartcards, condemning both major parties for decades of failure on accessible transport and rejecting the idea that disability access should rely on unused Opal balances, instead demanding proper, dedicated funding to meet overdue accessibility obligations.  

Firefighters deserve protection - not Treasurer driven cost cutting

Today in Parliament, Abigail contributed to a debate, supporting the Workers Compensation Legislation Amendment (Firefighters) Bill 2025, backing long-overdue presumptive protections for firefighters while criticising the Government’s restrictive approach, financial excuses and failure to enact broader workers compensation and emergency services levy reform.

The NSW government must finally meet the calls of the expert DFV sector and fund the frontline

The calls from the expert DFV sector to fund the frontline have gone ignored by successive governments for far too long. Today in Parliament, Abigail gave a motion recognising DVNSW's pre-budget submission for the 2026-27 NSW Budget, calling on the NSW government to finally fund the DFV frontline. 

Why won't the NSW Government release the Drake inquiry report?

Today in Parliament, Abigail contributed to a debate in Parliament, condemning the Government’s secrecy over the Drake inquiry report into greyhound racing, arguing it is being withheld for political convenience and must be released immediately so the public can know the commissioner’s findings about an industry plagued by ongoing scandals and welfare failures.

We cannot possibly ignore the correlation between firearm ownership and domestic and family violence

Today in Parliament, Abigail spoke in strong opposition to the Shooters hunting bill, pointing out that it dangerously expands gun access, undermines public safety, threatens animal welfare and ignores domestic and family violence risks, as well as calling out the Labor government’s morally bankrupt decision to back in this dangerous proposal.

Disability rights are non-negotiable

Today Abigail gave a speech in Parliament ahead of International Day of Persons with Disabilities, highlighting the systemic failures of the Minns Labor Government on just about everything - including housing, transport, education, health, advocacy and justice - and demanding urgent action to dismantle ableism and build a truly inclusive, accessible and just society for all.
