Few politicians are asked about their diet as much as newly elected upper house MP Emma Hurst.

to pass legislation that is opposed by the Labor party.

“AJP is supported by a cohort of human-hating, urban-based, largely idle-rich and well-off middle class types, that have no empathy for their fellow human beings,” he said. “It will be a big challenge,” she said. “I’ve already started to test the waters with a few of the parties in regards to issues like puppy farming.”Ms Hurst secured a spot in the Upper House one week after animal rights activists,, protested in Melbourne streets and at abattoirs in NSW, Victoria and Queensland.

“We had a lot of death threats from farmers and shooters,” she said. “We had a lot of threats when we did a campaign against pig dogging [where dogs are forced to hunt wild pigs]".

Really! Same people who promote nobody is allowed to have pets either not justice for animals at all. It's the elimation of the need for them either to eat or as pets. Nobody is going to take my Protein away from me meat, eggs etc are a necessity for healthy living.

They can only make me hungry for bacon.

Veganism is completely a good left issue

Don’t really care what you eat just don’t dictate to me what I eat we have a freedom of choice so don’t impose your views on those of us who choose not to be dictated to

Jealous on what she ate in parliament? Vegan?..can wait for next Sunday Greek orthodox Easter...so I can have my lamb on the spit cooked slowly and crispy and where the whole neighbourhood sniffs the wonderfully cooked lamb..

Don’t change what I eat. I like what I eat. Leave my eat alone. Go away, Hippy.

Vegans in Australia are a supremacy movement.

She won't change what I eat.

Wondering if anyone read the article. As soon as the V word is used a hive like pile on follows. Reducing consumption of animals is more sustainable for the planet.

Great to have her in the parliament. A shame that the SFF were so rude.

She would have to be pro life otherwise she would be hypocritical, if you felt really strongly about it animal products would be off the table as well such as: conditioner, handbags, wallets, shoes, wool products, some plastics -just goin vegan doesn't cut it.

We can’t be eating the food the animals eat. They will starve!!! It’s cruelty. By eating animals we are saving them.

Excuse me, one vegan MP will NOT change what I eat, I will continue to eat meat, eggs etc. if I so choose. Bloody hide of her, pompous little twit.

Plants are living matter on a branch not far off the tree of life from animals. She seems fine killing them off to satisfy her appetite.

we refuse to be dictated by a nutty moron We love meat n farmers love to farm beef We r not going to be dictated by crazy vegans We dont tell them what to eat

Go away! The people just want to be alone. The psychopathic control freaks in gov who are continuing to take away liberty of the people every day.. we already pay 40%+ of everything we earn, now they tell us what to eat?

I don't think so... 👎

‘We don’t want to tell you what to eat but we want to reduce the amount of food we don’t want you to eat’ This is a one way street because meat eaters don’t try and force it on to others who choose not to eat meat.

This is the problem with politics today. This thing needs to understand that if her electorate wants an abattoir on every corner, it is her job as their representative to make that happen. Her personal beliefs are 100% irrelevant in representing her constituents.

Well... she's pretty hot

Yes!! Thank you!! We need more animal advocates in politics to many innocent animals are suffering due to complete ignorance and greed due to Governments who do not set a good example for their people

Now we will be told by the govt what we can eat & higher tax for meat other animal products...don't think this will happen...govt will find its self kicked out...

So now the food police want to tell us what to eat. Not a snowflake’s chance in hell as far as I am concerned.

it is a fast growing movement
