Embattled MP Barnaby Joyce personally called NSW state National MPs to vent over a state bill which would see exclusion zones implemented around abortion clinics.

The Herald has confirmed Mr Joyce contacted his state colleagues in the NSW upper-house after a bill to impose 150 metre "safe access zones" around abortion clinics passed through the Legislative Council with Nationals' support a fortnight ago.

One MP said Mr Joyce called to express his disapproval over the bill.

Another MP, who did not receive a call, said: "If he was to call, I'd tell him to get stuffed."
