Our MP Emma Hurst explains why punitive cat containment laws fail.

Inquiry evidence shows they do not protect wildlife, cost more and fail. They punish people when cats escape and lead to homeless cats being killed. Real solutions are large scale desexing and community engagement.

Breaking: $9 million secured for wildlife care 🐾

Wildlife is legally owned by the state, yet care is left to volunteers and vets with little to no public funding. Our MP Emma Hurst has pushed for funding since election. This step matters, but permanent funding is essential to save lives.

Help Greyhounds!🐕 SAY NO to DA 464/2025(1)

A new greyhound racing track on public land in Orange would lock in a gambling driven industry that harms and kills dogs.

There are no safe tracks. Anyone can object.

More than 845000 animals are used in Australian labs every year. A major review of the NHMRC research code is now questioning animal sentience, the use of primates, surgery in teaching and why non animal alternatives are still sidelined.

Transparency and accountability are overdue.

Prong collars are being outlawed in NSW! 🎉

This took years of people refusing to accept cruelty, backed by our MP Emma Hurst taking those voices into Parliament.

"Positive reinforcement works, so why would we ever allow dogs to be hurt in this way?”

Thank you to everyone who stood up for dogs 🐾

After Victorian bushfires, trained wildlife rescuers are being blocked from helping injured animals, including burnt kangaroos and joeys.

AJP VIC MP Georgie Purcell is calling this out and demanding the state government back wildlife rescuers. Every day volunteers are kept out, the animals suffer.

NSW is moving to make leaving dogs in hot cars an offence.

Emma Hurst MP is working to extend protections to all animals & to protect people who act to rescue animals from hot vehicles.

Animals should not suffer. People who save lives should not be punished.

Bali Zoo has ended elephant rides!

Elephants are intelligent, social animals. Many scars come from being forced to perform or carry people. Animals are still exploited for tourism worldwide, but this is a step forward we should see everywhere.

Protect Riverstone Wetlands. Make a submission!

The NSW Government’s Marsden Park North proposal would destroy this wetland, displacing wildlife that cannot be relocated, including migratory shorebirds and the Green and Golden Bell Frog.

From all of us at Animal Justice Party NSW, our hearts are with everyone affected by the devastating fires. Animals displaced, injured and killed. People who lost homes, livelihoods and safety. We thank the carers, vets, volunteers and firefighters who worked in dangerous conditions to protect life.

If animals are sentient, it’s worth asking whether welfare reforms go far enough. This Guardian letters piece challenges the idea that kinder systems fix a fundamentally harmful model and calls for honesty about where our food comes from.

SHOOTERS PARTY NOT HAPPY

Emma Hurst MP: "BREAKING NEWS from the Shooters Party HQ: They are sore because lots of people don't want to relax gun laws - and they thought it would just be the Animal Justice Party who cared.

Diddums. Stop shooting animals and get a real hobby."

Lapland UK has ended live reindeer displays!🎉

From MP Emma Hurst:

"We've secured the first step in a full ban on SGAR poisons. Amazon has stepped up to be the first company to implement a ban on both SGARS - and we are already speaking to other major groups too. Bleeding to death from the inside- over days. That's the cruelty of SGAR poisons."

The Drake Inquiry report confirms that this industry fails dogs, can’t regulate itself and simply cannot be trusted with their lives.

Dogs are still being bred, killed, injured and exported while the Government hesitates. Bring back the ban on greyhound racing for good.
