Everyone ready for rally number 3?
Yes!
Yesss!
YESSS!!!
What was that?
[laughing]
Simon, stay out of the garden.
[chanting]
Stand for life! Stand for life!...
[cheering]
[Tony Abbott]
And that’s what I thought the government
[Tony Abbott]
was elected to do.
[Tony Abbott]
To build roads, to deliver good schools,
[Tony Abbott]
good hospitals, to support the police,
[Tony Abbott]
sound administration.
[Tony Abbott]
And what did I find?
[Tony Abbott]
The first serious bit of legislation that the
[Tony Abbott]
new government puts into this parliament,
[Tony Abbott]
is for the most radical abortion laws
[Tony Abbott]
in this country.
[boo-ing]
[Tony Abbott]
You don’t have to believe in anything
[Tony Abbott]
other than the basic decency of every
[Tony Abbott]
human being, to think that we should
[Tony Abbott]
never have infanticide on demand.
[cheering]
[Tony Abbott]
In just 1 week, this upper house enquiry
[Tony Abbott]
had 14,000 submissions.
[cheering]
[Tony Abbott]
Now I know, members of the upper house
[Tony Abbott]
of NSW are geniuses.
[Tony Abbott]
They’re probably the greatest speed-readers
[Tony Abbott]
the world has ever known.
[Tony Abbott]
But does anyone think that those
[Tony Abbott]
14,000 submissions have had justice
[Tony Abbott]
done to them in just one week?
[boo-ing]
[Tony Abbott]
By contrast, a bill to end cruelty towards
[Tony Abbott]
battery hens - would you believe
[Tony Abbott]
that had a 7 week enquiry and they got
[Tony Abbott]
just 500 submissions.
[Tony Abbott]
Well, I don’t want to see cruelty to anything.
[Tony Abbott]
I’m all in favour of a good deal for battery hens.
[Tony Abbott]
But I think the babies of this country
[Tony Abbott]
deserve better than that.
[cheering]
[Tony Abbott]
Support the people who are fighting for us,
[Tony Abbott]
fighting for a better future for our children,
[Tony Abbott]
a better future for our country, and a more
[Tony Abbott]
decent life for everyone.
[Tony Abbott]
God bless them. God bless Australia.
[cheering]
[Fred Nile]
Thank you for coming, and I thank my parents,
[Fred Nile]
85 years ago today, keeping me,
[Fred Nile]
not aborting me, but letting me live.
[cheering]
[Fred Nile]
We need more members of parliament
[Fred Nile]
with spiritual guts to stand for the truth,
[Fred Nile]
and not be black-mailed.
What did they chant?
“We will fight, we will win.
Throw the foetus in the bin!”
[boo-ing]
So what I say today is, doctors deserve better,
women deserve better, and most certainly
unborn children deserve better.
[cheering]
[Barnaby Joyce]
I think it is so obnoxious that an amendment
[Barnaby Joyce]
to look after a child born alive in the corner
[Barnaby Joyce]
of the room was voted down.
[boo-ing]
[Barnaby Joyce]
An amendment to stop someone aborting a
[Barnaby Joyce]
child because, of all the more terrible things,
[Barnaby Joyce]
they’re a girl, was voted down.
[boo-ing]
[Barnaby Joyce]
And if you can vote down an amendment
[Barnaby Joyce]
because they’re a boy or a girl,
[Barnaby Joyce]
then why stop there?
[Barnaby Joyce]
Why not vote them down because they’re too dark,
[Barnaby Joyce]
or they’re too fair, or they’re the wrong complexion?
[Barnaby Joyce]
Where does this animalistic process stop?
[Barnaby Joyce]
Ladies and gentlemen,
[Barnaby Joyce]
this is the slavery debate of our time.
[Barnaby Joyce]
They had a longer enquiry into koalas.
[Barnaby Joyce]
I love koalas, but I think a person
[Barnaby Joyce]
is more important than a koala.
[cheering]
[Martyn Iles]
Therefore God has highly exalted him,
[Martyn Iles]
and bestowed on him the name
[Martyn Iles]
that is above every name.
[Martyn Iles]
So that at the name of Jesus, every knee
[Martyn Iles]
should bow in heaven and on earth,
[Martyn Iles]
and under the earth, and every tongue
[Martyn Iles]
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord
[Martyn Iles]
to the glory of God the Father.
[cheering]
[Martyn Iles]
Our politicians are making appeals to choice,
[Martyn Iles]
to autonomy, and the complexity of the issue.
[Martyn Iles]
And they’re doing that because it’s all they have.
[Martyn Iles]
Science is not on their side.
[Martyn Iles]
The heart beats, the pain is felt,
[Martyn Iles]
the baby is viable.
[Martyn Iles]
They do that because medicine is no longer
[Martyn Iles]
on their side.
[Martyn Iles]
Compassion is not on their side.
[Martyn Iles]
Humanity is not on their side.
[Martyn Iles]
Conscience is not on their side.
[Martyn Iles]
I’m here to say, with such mounting evidence,
[Martyn Iles]
how can any say that God would be on their side?
[Martyn Iles]
Because Christ’s love, as we have just heard said,
[Martyn Iles]
“I will die for you”
[Martyn Iles]
and abortion is the evil reverse image of that
[Martyn Iles]
which says, “You will die for me.”
