MPs withdraw spill motion against NSW Premier Gladys BerejiklianBreaking: A threatened leadership spill against NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian over her handling of a private member's bill to decriminalise abortion has been called off. Waddasurprise So did GladysB sell her soul & cave in on concessions or did spillers realise there's no public support for their chiistian jihadist demands. 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.
