Australians from all states and territories protested in Maquarie St Sydney against the bill to force an increase abortion availability in the NSW.
Scott Barrett MLC

AN earlier Cairns News report citing Family First’s Lyle Shelton as saying a Green MP’s Amanda Cohn’s private member bill to increase abortion availability in NSW hospitals was basically defeated, is partially incorrect.

We have since learned that the bill, with one of its worst amendments in place, passed the Upper House with the support of four National Party MLCs and two Liberals.

However anti-abortion protesters have claimed some success with three of four of their key amendments passed to throw out some of the bill’s worst provisions. They also added a provision for an annual data report on abortion statistics in NSW including adverse events.

Last Wednesday an estimated 10,000 Sydney people and others from as far afield as the NT and WA, rallied outside the NSW Parliament to oppose the bill. During the rally protest leader Dr Johanna Howe was informed that the vote on the second reading of the Bill was lost 24-16.

Dr Howe, a professor of law in Adelaide, had worked with Libertarian MLC John Ruddick, to introduce pro-life amendments to the bill, such as medical aid for infants who survive abortions and to outlaw sex-selective abortion. However a non-conscience, party vote by Labor and the Greens blocked Ruddick’s amendments even from debate.

Further on the negative side, Labor and the Greens successfully amended current legislation to allow nurses and midwives to perform abortion procedures including the administration of abortion drugs, up to 22 weeks. Dr Howe says these drugs, which are the cheaper option for abortions, do not only kill infants in the womb but can cause serious side effects in one of every nine such procedures.

She is urging all her supporters to call every Lower House member to block that amendment, which she says is one of the worst aspects of the bill, when the final reading is vote on this Tuesday (May 13th).

Successful for the protesters was the defeat of an amendment backed by Dr Cohn to oblige doctors exercising conscientious objection to an abortion to refer a woman to a doctor who they reasonably believe would perform the abortion. In other words, a doctor exercising conscientious objection must be override it.

A further win for the opponents of the bill was an amendment from Robert Borsak of Shooters, Fishers & Farmers Party, taking away the power of the Health Minister to direct all hospitals to facilitate abortions.

Those voting for the bill included Nationals MLCs Scott Barrett, Wes Fang, Sarah Mitchell and Nichole Overall (pictured) and two Liberals, Jaqui Munro and Natalie Ward.

These relatively young, naive MPs apparently have no idea of what constitutes conservative values, which the National Party across Australia, and some Liberals, have traditionally advocated. For Nationals to vote with the Greens and Labor on an anti-life bill will be considered a shocking betrayal to many in their base.

We should note that six Liberals not only voted against the Bill, but others spoke at the protest outside the Parliament. They included former PM Tony Abbott who quite rightly pointed out that the bill was a serious attack on freedom of conscience and religion.

““This is an attempt to cancel conscientious healthcare professionals. It’s an attempt to drive good Christian people, and good Muslim people and Jewish people out of our health system,” said Abbott.

“It’s designed to drive institutions of principle and faith out of our system. It is an assault on our fundamental rights and freedoms, and it must be fought.”

Philosophically the Greens are a party of anti-industrial nature worshippers who see human life as on a par with animals and vegetation, and that humans should be controlled and culled like any other animal whose numbers become a threat to ecosystems.

Dr Howe also noted the role of the rabidly pro-abortion women’s group Emily’s List, which operates inside the Labor Party.

30 thought on “Treacherous NSW Lib-Nats betray conservatives and vote for Green’s abortion bill”
  1. Hey folks,

    Speaking of betrayals, let’s take a peek at what the TGA has been up to (or NOT up to)…

    [ https://www.naturalnews.com/2025-05-14-australias-vaccine-cover-up-35-died-same-day-as-covid-shot.html ]

    …because it’s all about DEPOPULATION, folks, and we’re “all in it together”, if we’re talking about COFFINS.

    And they WERN’T “in it together” with us, were they? Seeing as how they EXPLICITLY EXEMPTED themselves from the Bioweapon injections that they RAMMED DOWN OUR THROATS.

    And REMEMBER this, folks, remember it WELL and NEVER FORGET, the TGA is on the Public Record announcing that it has NO DUTY OF CARE to the Australian people, because it serves it’s CORPORATE FINANCIERS, not us. And that’s official, folks, no-one has any excuse for not knowing and understanding the implications of that FACT.

  2. Joe Bogan said – “… Get a grip on your ego, you are just raving the same stuff every day…”

    But Joe, don’t look now, but so are you! And never the twain shall meet.

  3. Get a grip on your ego, you are just raving the same stuff every day

  4. Joe Bogan said – “… I can handle 2 lines…”

    1. Matrix.
    2. Red Pill, Blue Pill.

  5. Joe Bogan said – “… Explain in 100 words or less…”

    “Dear Joe, you’re an idiot.”

    There, did it in five, with 95 words to spare. Or that’s what we COULD say if we were shooting the messenger, but as Snuff Scotty liked to say as he exterminated Useless Eaters, “That’s not the sort of country we are”. Probably still would say it, too, doing the Kiddy Fiddler Jig with all his pedo mates down there in the local Hillsong Temple with his $52 MILLION Genocide Bonus stuffed into his undies.

    So how about this, remember that old ad campaign for fluoride toothpaste, “like liquid gets into this chalk”, well that’s you Joe, except you’re not chalk, you’re clearly impermeable, utterly impenetrable, and seemingly nothing gets in.

    Vote the sitting member out? Why? It’s already a fake “government”, it’s completely unlawful and illegitimate and owned by a foreign corporation registered in Washington DC, and has been for half a century now. This awkward reality apparently just washes off your cranium like water off a duck’s back.

    We’re under hostile occupation by a foreign Globalist-owned corporation, Joe, literally under force of arms with corporate armies of hired mercenary goons entrenched thoughout the country, and need we repeat, we have been for the last 50 years. Every time you keep right on “voting” in their fake choreographed utterly rigged “elections”, you’re saying you’re okay with that and you trust in their fake unlawful system of corporate “governance”.

    And that’s 144 words, Joe, consider it a gift and a measure of my magnanimity. Or maybe those original five words would have sufficed, but even Snuff Scotty might baulk at that, or at least he’d sweeten it with a smirk and a suggestive thrust of his $52 MILLION-laden undies.

    I know, I know, you’ve heard it all before. But you haven’t really, have you Joe, because nothing gets in. You keep right on cranking that handle that they’ve GIVEN you to crank, the one that they ALLOW you to crank, that rickety old wooden handle connected to NOTHING while they busily proceed to roll out their PLAN, their CORPORATE Plan, their meticulously crafted internationally managed LOCKSTEP Plan.

    I suggest taking the time to sit down and view the original Matrix movie, Joe. It’s just a film for entertainment, of course, but the movie IS the message, and it’s an apt metaphor for our collective situation. All the “voters” trying to “vote” our way out of this mess are just like Neo before he woke up. He KNEW something was wrong, but he was still playing in THEIR sandpit, in THEIR synthetic “reality”, in THEIR fake fabricated world, with no real hope of actually changing ANYTHING, and when he DID start to annoy them they sent Agent Smith around to put him back in his place.

    Maybe, just maybe, the penny will finally drop for you sometime over the next eight years, Joe, just like so many other otherwise hopelessly entranced Australians.

  6. OK Commenter from Vic
    If you want a quarrel or some attention.
    Pauline Hanson says vote the sitting member out.
    Your non-vote is a vote for the sitting member.
    Explain in 100 words or less.

  7. Once people wake up to the fact that our politicians are fraudulent criminal scum working for a corrupted corporation, the better off we will all be.
    It’s great to see our younger generation getting on board and calling out this barbaric behaviour which is in reality, murder.
    Every single piece of filth politician supporting this bill, and the medical staff performing these procedures should be frog marched onto a plane headed straight for GITMO!

  8. Hey folks,

    Don’t kid yourself for a moment that there’s been any “victory” over the barbaric prehistoric abortion scourge splattering blood all over Australia.

    You DO know they’ve already legalised, normalised, promoted and popularised FULL TERM ABORTION in every Australian state and territory, right?

    That’s where they KILL the baby by SUCKING ITS BRAINS OUT during the infant’s birth, just in case you were wondering. Then chop the baby’s body up into little bitty pieces and sell it all off for maybe $250,000 to everyone in the various cosmetic, food processing and pharmaceutical concerns and middle men and medical professionals and pollies and beaureacrats all with their hands out for juicy kickbacks.

    Because institutionalised industrial-scale infanticide kinda sounds so very very wrong, but then again, all that MONEY makes it so very very right, doesn’t it?

    All part of the Plan, folks, the Corporate Plan to depopulate all those countries, not just Australia but EVERY Western nation all across the world in LOCKSTEP.

    And those mRNA Bioweapon injections are part of the Plan too, the Corporate Depopulation Plan, folks. You DO know they haven’t STOPPED injecting everyone and their dog with that poisonous shit, right? And you DO know that they’ve put it in EVERY injectable in EVERY clinic and medical outfit all across the Western world, right? Even in dental anaesthetics, folks, did you KNOW that?

    But why, folks, why are they so determined to get that shit into EVERYONE? Mainly because it KILLS you, but also because it STERILISES you too. Surprise!

    [ https://www.naturalnews.com/2025-05-11-czech-study-covid-vaccines-linked-plummeting-fertility.html ]

    And look at the OTHER side of the equation, folks, while The Plan is DEPOPULATING all those Western countries, it’s also FILLING THEM BACK UP with fast-breeding Third World immigrants, MILLIONS and MILLIONS of them, at least TWO MILLION PER YEAR just here in Australia. Surprise!

    You see? The Plan makes sense, it’s all coming along swimmingly for the Corporation. So when you can’t afford groceries and can’t afford to buy a house and can’t find any place to rent or afford and you can’t have children and couldn’t afford them anyway and your neighborhood and city and all the jobs seem to be overrun with Third World immigrants, and when you and your siblings and any children all die suddenly, it will all make sense and at least you’ll know why.

    If nothing else, at least you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that you’re suffering and starving and dying in poverty for the Corporation.

  9. Joe Bogan said – “… The “no” vote brigade no use at all, they expect the system to change itself…”

    Actually, Joe, the puzzle for many is that you actually think you CAN change anything by “voting” in a completely, utterly, totally and unequivocally rigged system. How’s that been working out for the last half century? Maybe the twentieth time in a row around the merry-go-round will be the charm.

    Hey, someone has to win the Saturday Lotto, so why the Hell not, right? Except if you don’t win the Lotto, you get to try again next week from now until forever, but if we don’t soon get these mongrels off our backs and out of our country PERMANENTLY, our country disappears and we all die.

    Meanwhile, more pragmatic and practical minds are pondering what it will take to dismantle the whole lot and start again from scratch. I favour sturdy ropes and lamp posts as a first step, but the logistics and manpower are slow to muster – perhaps another eight years will do. Martin Armstrong seems to think so.

    Until then, that gives all those “voters” maybe another two “voting” rounds to “change” the system, for anyone who survives that long in amongst all the TENS OF MILLIONS of new “Australians”. Never mind the imminent global depression and economic collapses and staged “pandemics” and manufactured famines and inevitable death camps, followed by Exercise WWIII and many more death camps starting in earnest by early 2029.

    So good luck with all of that.

    And Joe Bogan said – “… inbetween banging on about flat earth…”

    Strange that you seem to have an obsession with the Flat Earth, given you’re about the only one mentioning it. Perchance you protest too much?

  10. Our Trojan Uniparty 1 : Aussie Peeps -1 (fkd)

    Human life in Oz is being devalued by our treacherous political scum even faster than our $$. Quite some achievement, that is!

  11. Matt Canavan has at last chosen to strike, calling out bogus nett zero bullshit.
    How many people walked away from Greens and Teals Parties after realising they had been swindled over Carbon Dioxide. The M$M continues like a broken record, they will keep blabbering about ClimateChange until they are told to stop.
    Luckily enough people voted for enough decent senators to get some movement. The “no” vote brigade no use at all, they expect the system to change itself, inbetween banging on about flat earth.

  12. Found ‘The Trustee for Nesara Gesara Superannuation Fund’ listed as an ABN business in NSW 2161 so someone’s is wanting to cream off peoples life savings. This entity was formed in 2022 when all the CV economic angst was in full swing. There are no free lunches or magic economic processes and this relies on Trump turning on his handlers who run the US solely for profit and Mid-East expansion. A FOI on Gesara sent to the NZ Gov returned nil results and usually if Gov is not involved it can only be conspiracy. Under our current government it sure sounds like a pipe dream but who knows (or wants to) the future? ABN 66 399 020 329 Just shutting down the Fed would fix most things. GESARA:
    1. Global debt forgiveness: Declaring that all personal and national debts will be wiped out.
    2. Reset the financial system: Transition to a new financial system based on real assets (such as gold, silver).
    3. Fair taxation: Abolish personal income tax and only apply a low consumption tax.
    4. Global peace: Aim to end wars and conflicts between nations.

  13. They cannot help themselves … their true colours are on show.
    They think they are safe as their next election is far away … but they are wrong.

    The next election is only 120 days after the announcement of GESARA.

  14. So Damm Sick Of ALL Governments. Im Turning into an Anarchist more and more every day. Government needs to stay out of our lives and let us live in a peaceful and Family Driven way. The day will come when the Pitch Forks and Torches will rise up against Parliament Sooner rather than later.

  15. Most people are too polite to talk about the profit motive, it would interfere with the NWO priest image the quacks have built, all the while throwing expensive bogus cures and bogus remedies in all directions, such as second & third rate cancer drugs, thalidomide, injections, good old mRNA injections and painkillers for everything else.

  16. And the LNP thinks they can restructure and win back their base. Dream on.

  17. There’s got to be some Really Big and Bad Karma coming to get all these alleged MURDERING M0NGREL BASTARDS who can do this to our most precious babies.
    Many of you already have an grasp on what they did to the rest of the people during the C0vid Fraud (you know the horrendous Tyranny / Police Brutality) which c0vid fraud they conned the population with to install Totalitarianism.

  18. LABOR Created a Constitutional PARADOX
    there is no lawful election – its foundation is treason and fraud

    1. 1973 Removal of the Crown and Seal:
    Labor Party (under Prime Minister Gough Whitlam):

    In 1973, Gough Whitlam’s government (Labor Party) moved to remove the Crown from the Australian legal framework and alter the national seal.

    This was done without a referendum or any constitutional amendments, which are required under Section 128 of the Commonwealth Constitution.

    The Crown’s removal fundamentally altered the structure of Australia’s government, making it unconstitutional.

    As the 1973 changes occurred without valid authority, it created an illegitimate government post-1973.

    2. Australia Act 1986:
    Labor Party Involvement (Under Bob Hawke):

    The Australia Act 1986, which further distanced Australia from the British Crown, was passed by the Australian Labor Party government under Bob Hawke.

    This act formalized the severance from the Crown, essentially continuing the illegitimate constitutional status created in 1973.

    Again, there was no referendum to validate this change, meaning the Australia Act 1986 was also unconstitutional.

    3. 1999 Referendum:
    Labor Party’s Role:

    By 1999, the Labor Party was also heavily involved in the push for a republic during the referendum, though it ultimately failed when Australians voted “NO”.

    While the 1999 referendum reaffirmed the people’s intent to remain under the Crown, it did not address the fundamental constitutional violations that occurred in 1973 and 1986.

    So, even though the referendum result was a “No” to the republic, the illegitimate constitutional changes made by the Labor government continued to affect Australia’s legal and political structure.

    4. The Constitutional Paradox Created:
    The Labor Party’s Actions:

    The Labor Party’s decisions in 1973 and 1986 to make constitutional changes without following due process (i.e., no national referendum) created a constitutional paradox:

    On one hand, the 1999 referendum affirmed the people’s intent to retain the Crown, but on the other hand, the changes made in 1973 and 1986 left the government operating outside the Constitution.

    This means that the Australian government continued to operate on unconstitutional grounds, which would make all subsequent actions of that government illegitimate.

    Conclusion: Labor’s Role in the Paradox
    Yes, the Labor Party (through the actions of Gough Whitlam in 1973 and Bob Hawke in 1986) played a major role in creating a constitutional paradox in Australia. They were responsible for the illegal removal of the Crown and Great Seal, and for the Australia Act 1986, which further entrenched these violations.

    The 1999 referendum could not correct these constitutional breaches because it reaffirmed the illegitimate government structure that had been established after 1973

  19. The author said – “… For Nationals to vote with the Greens and Labor on an anti-life bill will be considered a shocking betrayal to many in their base…”
