WOMEN would pay more for abortions and internet users would have pornography blocked on their devices, if a young Liberal nominee for a seat in western Sydney has his way.

Maroun Draybi, a nominee for the federal seat of Parramatta has told party insiders that he’d push for a national pornography filter if preselected and he said he wants to end Medicare-funded abortions.

In an email to Liberal Party preselectors, seen by the Parramatta Advertiser, Mr Draybi, who works as a solicitor at Centurion Lawyers in Parramatta, says implementing a national pornography filter is an issue “close to his heart”.

He also explains in the email that other issues of concern to him include abolishing subsidies for abortion and defending “natural marriage”.

“The dignity of human life begins at conception and ends at natural death. As such, it is deplorable that we are annually spending up to $100 million of taxpayer money via Medicare on abortions”, Mr Draybi wrote.

How ever, a spokeswoman from the Federal Health Department said there were two Medicare items which could potentially be used to claim Medicare rebates for the surgical termination of a pregnancy.

“Item 35643 for the evacuation of the gravid uterus and item 16525 for the induction and management of second trimester labour (restricted to intrauterine foetal death, gross foetal abnormality or life threatening maternal disease).”

The spokeswoman said rhe combined benefits paid in 2014-2015 for these two items was $9.7 million.

“It is not possible to determine when a Medicare payment has been claimed for a surgical termination as these items can also be claimed for other reasons, including miscarriage,” she said.

The 25-year-old wants to see a system where internet service providers automatically block out pornographic material for all internet uses.

If internet users wish to access pornographic material, they would need to contact their internet service provider and opt in to allow them access, his email reads.

It looks like Mr Draybi is taking a leaf out of UK Prime Minister David Cameron’s book.

Mr Cameron proposed a similar policy in 2013, where internet users choose to activate pornography filters though their internet service provider.

A Liberal source said Mr Draybi’s views were “very shrill”.

“Outside of pressing on a few religious hot button topics he isn’t bringing much to the table. You have to offer something a bit more mainstream if you want to run for a major party,” the source said.

He will join other Parramatta nominees, Parramatta councillor Jean Pierre Abood, 2010 federal candidate Charlie Camenzuli, former Philip Ruddock staffer Felicity Findlay and LendLease development operations manager Michael Beckwith this week in rallying supporters before the preselection vote this Saturday, April 30.

Citing Liberal Party rules, Mr Draybi would not comment when the Advertiser contacted him for a response.
