Shooters, Fishers, Farmers Party leader Robert Borsak says NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian is “a long way from out of the woods” after narrowly avoiding a spill motion against her.

“Whoever thought back in March that we’d be seeing this going on right now? That there’d be talks of wanting to bring her down?” Mr Borsesak told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “It’s all a direct flow on, of course, from the abysmally bad way she has handled this abortion bill.

” The premier spent Monday night locked in crisis talks after Tanya Davies, Matthew Mason-Cox and Lou Amato pledged to “hold her to account” over the contentious abortion bill. In August, the Reproductive Health Care Reform Bill 2019 passed through the NSW lower house 59-31 in a conscience vote.

Berejiklian spill motion is ‘absolutely outrageous’ | Sky News AustraliaThe move by a group of rebel Liberal MPs to oust NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian from power is 'absolutely outrageous', according to Sky News contributor Janine Perrett.\n\nAt least three MPs will move a spill motion against Ms Berejiklian on Tuesday over her handling of a bill to decriminalise abortion in NSW.\n\nThe Coalition only holds a two-seat majority, meaning any defections would plunge it into minority government.\n\nMs Perrett said Ms Berejiklian is being challenged by “bitter, twisted” politicians who are not prepared to hash out their differences in the party room. Perrett's screeching is outrageous. 🧐 GladysB PerrettReport Needs to be an investigation into the power behind the rush-rush abortion bill. I suspect the pharma industry. There is known, lucrative trade in infant parts, tissues, cells & organs in collusion with the abortion industry. BradHazzard has served pharma 4 some time.

Spill motion against Berejiklian called off | Sky News AustraliaA spill motion against NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has been called off, MP Tanya Davies has confirmed.\n\nThe premier spent Monday night locked in crisis talks after Tanya Davies, Matthew Mason-Cox and Lou Amato pledged to “hold her to account” over the contentious abortion bill.\n\nNSW Liberal Party member Tanya Davies released a statement on Tuesday morning confirming she and her two colleagues would withdraw the spill motion.\n\n“We have received confirmation that further concessions will be forthcoming in relation to amendments to the abortion bill,” she said. \n\n“On this basis I have called the premier this morning and advised her that we will withdraw the spill motion to continue negotiations prior to the debate in the upper house commencing later today.' \n\nImage: News Corp Australia Wonder she’s offering to water down in the bill for that sudden reversal. I think she better watch her back now. The Premier has to learn the lesson. Pushing too hard and cutting corners is an act of incompetence rather than wisdom. The Premier has been embarrassed several times in Public Work projects that had no proper planning and in legislation rushed without consultation.

'NSW Liberal overwhelmingly unites behind Berejiklian’ | Sky News AustraliaNew South Wales Attorney General Mark Speakman says NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has “the overwhelming support of party members because she led us to victory and is a premier that is working extremely hard”. \n\nThe premier spent Monday night locked in crisis talks after Tanya Davies, Matthew Mason-Cox and Lou Amato pledged to “hold her to account” over the controversial abortion bill. \n\nThe contentious abortion bill, which was put forward by Independent MP Alex Greenwich, passed the lower house 59 to 31 in a conscience vote with the support of Labor and the Nationals.\n\nMr Speakman told Sky News on Tuesday 'it’s up to the upper house, individual MPs to decide how to vote on this bill, it is not a government bill, it is beyond the power of the premier to direct MPs how to vote, if that is what these three MPs want then they are misguided'. \n\n“The vast majority of Liberal MPs realise the electors don’t want a circus and don’t want to see a repetition of what happened in Canberra,' he said. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia She is doing a good job. Awesome at the use of subterfuge. Bringing a surprise bill through on a topic that was never mentioned in the past election.

'Govt yet to turn a sod of soil' to build dams | Sky News AustraliaShadow Agriculture Minister Joel Fitzgibbon has called on the government to take immediate drought action, saying “our landscapes are burning, our towns are running out of water and our farmers aren’t getting the assistance they need and deserve”. \n\nHis comments come after NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro called for the quick construction of new dams as the country battled devastating conditions and a depleted water supply. \n\nMr Fitzgibbon said the drought conditions were “approaching calamity” and accused the government of having “no strategy or response”. \n\n“People just want this government to act, and in six years it’s failed to do that,” he said. \n\n“This government’s been talking about dams for six years now, there was a dam here, a dam there and a dam everywhere for a while, but they are yet to turn a sod of soil.” \n Only problem with this is Federal Government doesn’t build dams the States are the ones who build them. fitzhunter Mate get your mates the Greens on side go to the PM with a plan and get it done. Talk to Barnaby_Joyce he is the only one from the Nats that understands. Untill the Greens get with this world it will never happen.
