Have Your Say: POCTAA Bill Amendments | Animal Liberation — Animal Liberation | Compassion without compromise

Take direct action to send an urgent personal email to your state MP and The Hon. Tara Moriarty, Minister for Agriculture, Minister for Regional New South Wales, and Minister for Western New South Wales to demand urgent amendments to the Animals Amendment (Enforcement and Operational Powers) Bill 2

It doesn’t matter whether you live in NSW or not, but the more people from NSW write in, the better.

Based on an election promise, the NSW Government has introduced the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Amendment (Enforcement and Operational Powers) Bill 2026 to update the previous Bill which is 47 years old and badly out of date.

Animal Liberation informs that

There has been no public consultation on the Bill, which in its current form, is completely inadequate, selective and disappointing. The Bill offers very little progressive reform for other-than-human animals and does not meet broad public expectations about how we regard and treat sentient beings.

    This link doesn’t actually offer any specific reasons why we should. Just that they don’t believe it’s adequate

    They don’t even say what should be changed specifically.

    I have no idea what I’d actually be signing. Without additional info, this could be one of those “don’t kill the brumbies. Remember the man from snowy River” things.

    They need to be specific

    Furthermore, at times I’ve seen people say “no public consultation” it often means they weren’t consulted, and there was a reason they specifically weren’t included
