Albanese Government Wants Employers to Pay for Late-Term Abortions
What if I told you the Albanese Government has plans to force employers to pay for late-term abortions under Paid Parental Leave? Sounds insane — but it’s true. And they’re rushing it through this week in the federal parliament.
Earlier this year, we broke on X a leaked letter written on behalf of Minister for Government Services Katy Gallagher that confirmed the Stillborn Baby Payment can be paid even when the stillbirth is “due to a medical termination” — in other words, an intentional late-term abortion.
Yes, you read that right:
If an Australian baby is aborted late in pregnancy, the parents can still get a Stillborn Baby Payment, as long as a doctor certifies that the baby was “delivered.”

And it doesn’t stop there.
Misuse of Payments
Parents in these cases can choose between one of two government payments funded by the taxpayer: the Stillborn Baby Payment or Paid Parental Leave.
There’s even official government advice on which one to pick.
Senator Pauline Hanson called out the misuse of these payments in the Senate.

At first, you might’ve thought this was just a bureaucratic loophole — a technicality that slipped through.
But it wasn’t. Minister Katy Gallagher confirmed parents who have a deliberate stillbirth are eligible for either the $4200 Stillbirth Parenting Payment or a whopping $22,000 Paid Parental Leave payment.
Instead of fixing it, Anthony Albanese doubled down. This isn’t an accident anymore — it’s official policy, which was confirmed earlier this month when Senator Alex Antic asked questions in Senate Estimates and was told by Labor Minister Senator Jenny McAllister that this was Labor’s position on payments for stillbirths.

From Crime to Conflation
And now, they’re taking it even further. Making it ten times worse.
This week, the Australian Government is seeking to pass a new bill, one that expands this policy of treating natural and intentional stillbirths as the same thing.
Their vehicle is “Baby Priya’s Bill”.
Labor says the bill is about helping women who experience the heartbreak of stillbirth.
But behind the emotional messaging, it quietly forces employers to pay Paid Parental Leave in cases of late-term abortion.
In the Fair Work Act (which Baby Priya’s bill amends), there is no differentiation between a natural stillbirth or a baby who dies shortly after birth like Priya, and a baby who is intentionally killed via a late-term abortion.
Applying this definition, this means private employers will be forced to pay Paid Parental Leave for employees’ late-term abortions.
This isn’t compassion. It’s madness, and it’s being sold to Australians under the guise of empathy. Now, One Nation Australia is introducing an amendment to ensure private employers are not forced to pay Paid Parental Leave for late-term abortions. They are seeking to exclude babies who have been intentionally killed via an abortion from the purview of Baby Priya’s Bill.
Baby Priya’s Bill will pass this week, and it urgently needs to be amended so that private employers are not footing the bill for Labor’s ideological agenda on late-term abortions. Sign our petition today to demand that this is fixed.

If i murder my husband , do I get special heartbreak leave?
The wicked government will naturally claim – it pays for the scheme — it’s just that the employer is the “means” for the payment. Nonetheless. this is monstrously evil. I run my own business and there is NO WAY I would agree to being involved with the murder of an innocent baby, no matter how much the wicked tyrants in Canberra say, they are paying for it. Involving the employer is making them somewhat a part of this wicked scheme. Australia does not have a government, it has a crime racket that pretends to be a government!
