![]() Secondly, it’s given time for constituents – tens of thousands of them – to contact their MPs and let them know that this bill is extreme, dangerous, and unwanted. Remember, of course, that going into the meeting he thought he had the numbers to suspend standing orders, and pass the bill, and do so with no amendments. Firstly, it’s shown Constance to be as hopeless at counting votes as he is at managing transport. ![]() The delay insisted on by the Party Room has done two things. Presumably, as the debate intensified, everything went quiet for Gladys while she contemplated her own political mortality, and whether her fulsome support was really all that politically expedient. The Liberal Party Room stopped all that, with third term MPs reporting that in more than eight years they’d never experienced a meeting quite like this. We reported last week that it was in fact Constance who spent the weekend ringing around whipping votes in the hope of pushing it through the Legislative Assembly in record time. Most of its co-sponsors are government MPs, and its chief cheerleaders are none other than Premier Gladys Berejiklian whose basket case government is in chaos, and incompetent Transport Minister and Leader of the House Andrew Constance. While ostensibly a private member’s bill, Greenwich’s proposed legislation really is government business. And this from the mob who say that abortion should be between a woman and her doctor! While MPs are allowed to act according to conscience, rather than along party lines, the same protection is not extended to medical practitioners. It also requires doctors who object on conscience grounds to nevertheless refer a woman who wants an abortion to a doctor who will perform the gruesome procedure. Greenwich and his bandwagon of co-sponsors (a vanity role, rather than one recognised at law or in the standing orders) say it’s all about removing abortion from the Crimes Act, but it does far more than that, allowing abortion until moments before birth for reasons that the Health Minister tried and awkwardly failed last week to explain, such as the mothers future social circumstances. Speccie readers will recall how we broke the story last week, revealing the extent of the bill’s provisions. Online condolences will be accepted at politicians from the Liberals and Labor in New South Wales no doubt spent the weekend huddling over proposed amendments to independent Alex Greenwich’s extreme abortion bill. ![]() Blake Gremore and Trey New will serve as honorary pallbearers.įriends may call on Sunday evening from 6-8PM at the funeral home.
