Sydney ERUPTED Over This Abortion Bill… | Ep 223

Added: 2026-06-04

[00:00:01]HELLO, SYDNEY.

[00:00:05]>> It is so GOOD TO BE HERE WITH YOU TONIGHT. I AM SO GLAD THAT THE RAIN AND THE COLD DIDN'T PUT you up. You are amazing and I LOVE SEEING YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACES. LET'S GIVE A BIG CHEER TO THE BABIES.

[00:00:20]>> We are here because we BELIEVE THAT HUMAN RIGHTS ARE UNIVERSAL. ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

[00:00:28]WE ARE HERE BECAUSE WE BELIEVE EVERY PERSON, NO MATTER HOW small or how old, GETS HUMAN RIGHTS. ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

[00:00:39]>> We want every single person PROTECTED FROM THE MOMENT OF FERTILIZATION TILL NATURAL DEATH. ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

[00:00:49]BECAUSE WE ARE HERE TO SAVE NOT JUST ONE, NOT JUST TWO, BUT ALL OF THE BABIES.

[00:00:59]>> For those of you who haven't met me, MY NAME IS JOE. I'VE COME FROM ADELAIDE, BUT I'VE ALREADY SPOKEN TO people who have flown in from as far away as Perth and Brisbane and Hobart. Girls that have driven FROM AUBRY WONGA. IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE TO SEE ALL of you guys here.

[00:01:16]And you KNOW WHAT? WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED, AREN'T WE? WE ARE just getting started.

[00:01:24]Because the horrible reality is that in New South Wales, every year close to 20,000 babies are killed.

[00:01:35]And in New South Wales, a baby in the womb HAS NO HUMAN RIGHTS protection through all 40 weeks of pregnancy.

[00:01:47]This place, THIS PLACE HERE IN 2019 passed laws legislating abortion up to birth.

[00:01:58]>> THIS THIS IS NOT HEALTHCARE. THIS IS NOT PRO WOMEN. AND WE ARE HERE TO SAY TODAY IT ENDS WITH US. ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

[00:02:09]>> All right. You guys are amazing. I'M GOING TO WELCOME OUR BISHOP TONY PERCY UP TO THE STAGE. NOW, you do not have to be a Christian to know that a baby in the womb is human rights. If you are a Christian, give us a cheer.

[00:02:25]>> Now, we won't make the atheist CHEER.

[00:02:27]BUT I KNOW I KNOW THAT THERE WOULD BE MANY BEAUTIFUL ATHEIST and agnostic people here. AND I WANT TO say in line with the left, everybody is welcome. We are very inclusive here. But we are like truly into inclusive. We are truly into diversity. not like these woke leftists whose claim they're INTO IT CUZ WE BELIEVE THAT every human person deserves to be included. So you don't have to be Christian to be here. We just have to believe in human rights. But we are going to start with a prayer and ask uh for the Lord's blessing over this event.

[00:03:01]And can you please welcome Bishop Tony Percy?

[00:03:09]>> Evening everyone. You can all hear >> Wonderful. Well, let's begin. Let's entrust ourselves to God, our loving father. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever and ever. Amen. So be it. Let me begin with a story. In February this year, I was invited to do a wedding. I went to the wedding reception and I was introduced to a wonderful young woman there who said she was going to be baptized at Easter this year. And I said, "Why is that?" She said, "Well, I fell in love with this wonderful Catholic guy and we got married and no sooner had we got married than I fell pregnant and I delivered my baby, gave birth to my baby. They brought the baby back and placed this beautiful baby in my arms. And I looked at my baby and she said, I thought, I did not do this. This is a miracle. It has to be God.

[00:04:22]>> So she said, uh, Bishop Tony, I'd like to be with God for the rest of my life.

[00:04:27]It's a very, very beautiful story that needs to be experienced by many, many more people in this country. It's a very beautiful story. It's a very compelling story. Just as compelling as the demographic winter which we are now entering. By 2070, you need to know this. By 2070, the world population peaks at 10 billion. 10 billion people.

[00:04:49]By 2350, it drops to 2 billion. By any economic sense, that's madness. We need to have our babies. We need to let them breathe and live and contribute to this great nation, and this wonderful world we live in. God bless you. Let's be active.

[00:05:05]Let's be prayerful. and things will certainly change.

[00:05:08]>> Thank you, Bishop Ter.

[00:05:14]>> So, we are here tonight not because we WANT TO SAVE THE SUGAR GLIDERS, BUT BECAUSE WE WANT TO SAVE THE BABIES.

[00:05:22]ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

[00:05:24]>> BECAUSE >> BECAUSE SUGAR GLIDERS DON'T HAVE HUMAN RIGHTS. BUT YOU KNOW WHO DOES? WHO HAS HUMAN RIGHTS? IT'S THE BABIES. ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

[00:05:34]AND WE ARE HERE TODAY PARTICULARLY IN HONOR of twins Emma and Ruth. Can we see them up here? Emma and Ruth. Now, some of you may know this and some of you may not. But a very sick and twisted prank was played on me by some proabortion people who sent me a picture of what I thought were two baby twins in the womb.

[00:05:57]They were about five, six weeks. And when I saw this picture, because I thought it was a picture of two human babies, my heart broke. I I cried. I I shed tears for these babies because we must we must shed tears for the 88,000 babies that are killed every year.

[00:06:17]>> Every year. 88,000. It is the leading cause of death in this nation. It is abortion. IT'S NOT CO. IT'S NOT CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE. IT'S nothing but abortion. THAT DWARFS EVERY OTHER CAUSE of death. And so when I saw this picture, my heart bled and broke for these babies. And I knew that I wanted to make um a tribute to them. I knew that I wanted to honor them because every single baby deserves a photograph, a name, and a life story. It turns out via a hit piece in the Guardian, you know, surprise surprise. Nobody here reads the Guardian, right? YOU DON'T LISTEN TO THE ABC. You don't watch the ABC and you don't listen to You don't read THE GUARDIAN. IS THAT RIGHT?

[00:07:00]>> YEAH. WE wanted to fund the ABC. It's just Yeah. And yeah, the Guardian fund.

[00:07:05]It's I mean, maybe we could use it for toilet paper, but that would be about it. All right.

[00:07:10]>> Sorry, that was a hit. Yeah, it would be a bit rough to use the Guardian for toilet paper. Um, okay. Now, when they WHEN IT ALL CAME OUT THAT IT WAS SOME SICK and twisted prank by proabortion people in cahoots with a proabortion activist journalist Dory Shepherd, I thought to myself, what they are trying to do even further now because it turns out that the picture that they sent me was of sugar gliders. What I what I thought to MYSELF IS, WELL, WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET OURSELVES BE STOPPED. WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET OUR VOICES be cowed.

[00:07:41]WE'RE NOT GOING TO HIDE IN SOME CORNER BECAUSE we were too trusting and believed what we thought was a distressed woman who reached out for help. We're not going to do that because we can't. And I know that some of you here, this would BE YOUR FIRST RALLY.

[00:07:56]PUT YOUR HAND UP AND CHEER IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST RALLY. I WANT TO KNOW.

[00:08:01]>> WOW.

[00:08:03]WOW. That is amazing. That is amazing.

[00:08:06]AND I IMAGINE THAT SOME OF YOU HAD fear and trepidation about coming tonight. I know that the first time I spoke up on social media four years ago, I KNEW I WAS COMMITTING CAREER SUICIDE. AT THAT POINT, I WAS AN associate professor of law at Adelaide. We had five kids and a mortgage. AND I WAS PETRIFIED ABOUT WHAT would happen to my life. And I knew there would be hit piece after hit piece after hit piece. I knew that would happen. AND I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS WHO CAME TODAY to your first rally that you would also have some of those fears. But human babies ARE NOT SUGAR GLIDERS. They are human babies. And so today we stand for Emma and we stand for Ruth. Every day in this country, seven sets of twins are aborted. Little babies LIKE EMMA AND RUTH. Seven twins IN THE WOMB. AND RIGHT FROM THAT MOMENT of fertilization, twins are connected. There's there's imaging of them in the womb holding each other, holding wrapping their arms around each other. When they come out of the womb, if you separate twin babies at NIGHT, THEY DON'T SLEEP AS WELL. And if you put them in the same qu cot and yet every day in this country, seven Emma and Ruths are killed through the monstrosity of abortion.

[00:09:30]Yeah. And I I we ARE HERE. WE ARE HERE TO BE THEIR VOICE. SO NO MATTER THE FEAR OR THE COST, WE ARE HERE TO stand for them. Now, a very brave woman, Susan Carter, who is in the parliament as a member of the Liberal Party, has been standing for the babies for most of her adult career. It's not just while she's been in Parliament. This woman is A HERO. PLEASE WELCOME SUS.

[00:09:57]Thank you, Joe, and thank you all for being here. It's good to know that none of us stand alone. And I recognize my colleagues standing on the steps of Parliament who are standing with us as well.

[00:10:14]>> This reform simply must pass.

[00:10:17]Yes, >> but work started in 2019 when the abortion reform bill was passed and my Liberal colleague Damian Tudtor Hope tried desperately to get this reform in the legislation.

[00:10:33]Parliament said at that point, really, there's abortions because of sex election. How about we put a statement in the bill that says, well, we don't care for that. We don't like that and we'd rather they didn't happen. Well, the sad truth is that they do. Now, I know a number of you will have received letters from uh politicians who are telling you, "What are you worried about this for? There aren't sex selection abortions."

[00:11:04]I'd like to believe that was the case, but it's just not true. We have university studies which show that it is happening. We have figures from the health department flawed as they are that show that it is happening. And we have testimonies from health worker after health worker after health worker who know that it is happening.

[00:11:29]Now, whatever you think about abortion, whatever reason you can find to justify some abortion, there is no justification to abort someone simply because they are female.

[00:11:43]Now, I admit to being biased >> because I was a female fetus at one point and I was a fe female embryo and then I was a female toddler and then I was a female preschooler and now I'm a female woman of the best age of all.

[00:12:03]Nothing has changed for me. I am the same person I was since I was conceived.

[00:12:10]>> Yeah.

[00:12:11]There is no justification at all for saying that someone should die because she is female and we have to stand against this. And even if we lived in a magic world where there was no sex selection abortion, wouldn't we want this same law in place?

[00:12:34]Because we want to live in a society that stands for equality, that recognizes and respects every human being and says no one dies because they are female.

[00:12:47]>> And that's what this law will do.

[00:12:53]We cannot do it though without all of you. So thank you for being here today and thank you Joe.

[00:12:59]>> Thank you Susan. Give a big ROUND OF APPLAUSE.

[00:13:08]ALL RIGHT. SO, I HAVE SOME good news and I have some bad news. Okay. Some good news first. We are so close to passing Australia's first ever pro-life bill in this place. Did you know we are so so close?

[00:13:28]And when and in 2019 when they p passed abortion up to birth and they said that a baby in human in the womb has no human rights. They erased human rights completely. They thought it was done AND DUSTED. THEY CHUCKED parties over the corpses of dead babies and they said it's done. It's finished. BUT WE ARE HERE TODAY TO SAY IT IS NOT FINISHED.

[00:13:55]>> IS IT FINISHED?

[00:13:59]ARE WE EVER GOING TO STOP?

[00:14:02]>> BECAUSE WE believe in every single baby.

[00:14:05]So, the good news is we are so close to passing the first ever pro-life bill through a HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER SEEN. AND THAT'S BECAUSE OF ALL OF YOU. That's because of all of you.

[00:14:21]But the bad news is there are four people standing in the way and they belong to the National Party.

[00:14:31]>> I I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT IT'S NOT FOR GREENS, it's not for Labor, it is for National Party MPs who are standing in the way BETWEEN PROTECTING BABY GIRLS IN THIS STATE. CAN you believe that? The Nationals And did you know we actually pled the national electorates? The nationals are largely in rural and regional areas and we pled those electorates. 23 of voters in national electorates want baby girls protected IN THE WOMB JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE GIRLS. THEY WANT THOSE girls protected. And yet the nationals in this place keep siding WITH THE RADICAL LEFT ON ABORTION ON TRANSGENDER IDEOLOGY.

[00:15:17]THEY ARE AN absolute disgrace.

[00:15:23]>> AND SO MY MESSAGE, MY MESSAGE TO the National Party MPs, the four National Party MPs in the upper house, if you don't pass this bill and let this through to the lower house, we will know it is because of the knats. We will know that. We will know THAT IT IS BECAUSE OF A party that pretends to be CONSERVATIVE BUT IS ACTUALLY ON THE SIDE OF THE RADICAL LEFT.

[00:15:49]>> WE WILL campaign every single day until next March UNTIL THE GNATS ARE OBLITERATED. ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

[00:16:01]>> WILL WE EVER EVER VOTE FOR THE NATIONALS IF THEY DON'T PASS THEIR SPELLS?

[00:16:08]WILL WE EVER VOTE FOR THE NATIONALS IF THEY DON'T PASS THIS BILL?

[00:16:14]>> NO.

[00:16:16]>> WE WILL NEVER FORGET BECAUSE THESE LIVES are permanently and irrevocably LOST. WE DON'T GET THEM BACK. We don't get them back. And these babies have no voice other than us. The people in this place, they get paid over $200,000 to be here. These babies DON'T GET TO VOTE. THEY HAVE NO VOICE. And their lives are taken even before they can read their first breath. So we are not going to forget. I WANT YOU TO CHANT WITH ME. Nats must act. NATS MUST ACT.

[00:16:50]LOUDER. NATS MUST ACT.

[00:16:53]>> NATS MUST ACT. NATS MUST ACT. NATS MUST ACT.

[00:17:00]MUST ACT.

[00:17:02]MUST ACT. LET'S MUST ACT. LET'S MUST ACT. LET'S MUST ACT.

[00:17:11]MUST >> MUST ACT.

[00:17:19]>> Must act. Let's must act. Let's must act.

[00:17:27]Must act. Let's must act.

[00:17:32]Thank you everybody. GIVE YOURSELVES A ROUND OF APPLAUSE. WOO! You guys are amazing. I love you guys. Now, we are really honored to have Barnaby Joyce here tonight. Barnaby. Yeah, we love Barnaby. We do. Barnaby has been standing up for babies from day. I don't know how old HE IS, BUT HE'S BEEN DOING IT FOR A LONG TIME, HAVEN'T YOU, BARAB?

[00:17:58]>> YEP. All All my political life.

[00:18:01]>> All his political LIFE. THAT'S WHAT WE WANT. That's what we want. Okay.

[00:18:08]AND I GUESS THE MESSAGE TO THE NAZ is if the Naz don't pass this bill, then One Nation is going to take your seats.

[00:18:19]>> All right. Give it up for Barmy. Do you reckon you can keep it to 3 minutes, mate?

[00:18:23]>> Well, thank you very much. First of all, I'd like to thank all of you. Look, you've come out of your, you know, you've made the effort to stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves.

[00:18:35]You are the people who make the difference. And you are to be commended for being here tonight.

[00:18:45]If it was legal, if by some perverse form of logic, it was legal to kill toddlers if they're of the wrong sex, we would have a demonstration that would go from here over the harbor bridge all the way to Manley and all the way out to Blacktown.

[00:19:02]>> Yet, for some unknown reason, if they're in utero, it's okay.

[00:19:08]>> It is just perverse logic. Yeah.

[00:19:13]>> People always ask people when that someone's drowning, they say, "Well, why did you swim out to save them? You might have drowned." Said, "Cuz it was the right thing to do."

[00:19:23]>> Yeah.

[00:19:23]>> He said, "But they were with sharks." He said, "It was the right thing to do."

[00:19:29]>> He said, "But nobody saw you do it. It didn't matter. It was the right thing to do.

[00:19:36]We do this because it is the right thing to do.

[00:19:51]>> And politically, does this make you popular? No. No. Probably lose half your votes every time you do it. But you know why you do it? Cuz it's the right thing TO DO.

[00:20:10]YOU KNOW, I don't know much about lots, but I know lots about politics. I know a lot about politics.

[00:20:17]And the one thing politicians fear is losing their job. They're very mindful of that.

[00:20:25]>> What I see before me here >> is about 1,500 people who can hand out how to vote cards. That's what I see before me here.

[00:20:34]>> You must keep that fire burning >> for those people who can't stand up for themselves. And I call them people.

[00:20:42]They're not fetuses. They're not, you know, you don't they are people. Those people who cannot stand up for themselves who need someone to swim out to them, who need someone to swim out amongst the sharks, who need someone to stand up for them because it's the right thing to do. That's you all.

[00:21:05]>> THANK YOU, BAR. Give him a big round of applause.

[00:21:12]>> And so, our message to the nats, our message to the Nazis, IF YOU DON'T VOTE for this bill, Barnaby's coming for you.

[00:21:21]>> ALL RIGHT. NOW, WE WOULDN'T BE HERE TONIGHT without one man, the courage of this man, John Rodick, who introduced this bill. Now, before I welcome him, I do want to say this is the first pro-life bill to be introduced this term of parliament. There has been no other pro-life bill. But we're not going to make that the norm. Business has changed. Every year in this state, we will introduce a bill until we protect ALL THE BABIES. THIS IS THE FIRST BILL.

[00:21:54]This is the first bill. And this bill seeks to ban sex selective abortion, the killing of a baby in the womb just on the basis of their gender. Now, we thought we WOULD GET UNIVERSAL SUPPORT.

[00:22:08]WE DID NOT THINK THAT ANYBODY could be opposed to this bill. In fact, WHEN WE PLED NEW SOUTH WALES, WE found that 51% of Greens voters support this BILL.

[00:22:20]THAT'S 51% of the most RADICAL LEFTISTS IN THE COUNTRY AND EVEN THEY SUPPORT THIS BILL. SO, what that means is we're getting very close, very close to passing this bill, but there's still a few votes in the way. So, my message is you must email and call the National Party after this rally in the coming weeks. If it doesn't go to a vote tomorrow, we have to pressure the NATS.

[00:22:44]We're going to have to letter box their seats. But the next thing is next March, there will be an election. And the Libertarian Party being the only party to have introduced a pro-life bill this term in parliament, I will be supporting them. I'll be telling people to vote for them because John Rick, he has broken through by introducing this bill. We're very grateful for John Rick and the Libertarians. Isn't that right?

[00:23:11]>> Without John Radic, we would not be here today. We would not have this chance to protect the daughters of this state. Can we please welcome John Rick?

[00:23:24]>> Thank you, Dr. Joe. Look, you know, when we decided to introduce this bill, I was curious to know what the opponents of it were going to say. And I was curious because there are no good arguments against this bill. This isn't really a bill about abortion. It's about do we think little girls and little boys have equal value? That's what this bill is about. I would have thought I would have thought the feminists would have loved this bill. But of course, they've got this they've got this golden calf that they worship abortion. They worship death. Now, now what have been their arguments? Well, their first one was is that it's not happening. Okay. Now, Edith Cud University proved unequivocally, zero doubt, it is definitely definitely happening and not on a micro scale, on a on a quite a large scale. Now, if but let's just shoot in our right for a moment. Let's say it's not happening. Well, there's no harm in creating a law to say you can't do it. Okay? We're not asking for any uh new government department or new taxes or anything. We just wanted to put it in the law. But it is happening. And if this bill passes, it will send a ripple effect throughout the community that in Australia, we consider a little baby girl to be equal to a little baby boy.

[00:24:34]It's that simple. Now the other uh the other argument they raised the other argument they raised is they say look because they've got no arguments against this bill they said look don't vote for this bill because John running is pro-life and he supports Jared to hell and he wants to make abortion unthinkable and I say yes guilty as charged but let's let's assess the bill on the bill John Rodic isn't the bill the bill is the bill the bill is a very modest bill now you know that there was on social media last week there was You know, you know, you know, the biggest friend of the pro-life movement is modern technology that shows us these pictures because we all love little babies. And last week they showed the modern technology showed us the moment of conception. It's like a little big bang. It's like a little a big spark of light. And uh so so that that's when we believe life begins. So we're against murder. And the greens the greens deep down also believe that's when conception starts because Damian Shudah Hope I'm not sure if he's here. He told me 6 months ago the Greens have got a policy that you can't abort a baby for what they call interex. So that's so that's now I support that policy 100% we shouldn't abort babies because of intersect but the Greens say that there should that should be a crime. Okay. So they're acknowledging that life starts at conception. So thank you for being here. We will know tomorrow how long this debate will go on for but maintain the rage and we're not going to stop.

[00:26:01]Thank you very much.

[00:26:03]Okay, >> thank you, John.

[00:26:08]All right, so John is going to rush off because the bells are ringing and he has to go vote inside the parliament. John, you got to go. You got to go. Um, but Jeemma Nozzie, who's standing next to me, she's going to be the lead candidate for the Libertarians next March. She's a beautiful pro-life woman who stands for the babies. Very, very faithful woman.

[00:26:29]AR Gemma is and she's going to lead us in Amazing Grace.

[00:26:36]>> I'm so proud that so many of you have turned up tonight for the unborn girls.

[00:26:41]Um I would like you all to sing along with me. So if you want to bring up the lyrics on your phone to Amazing Grace, Haley West Sterner's version. There's four verses there. So I'll give you a minute. Before I do start, I do want to dedicate this song to all the babies who never got a chance to live life on this earth. But I also want to dedicate the song to all the mothers, all the women who were coerced into having an abortion, who were pushed into it because their stories don't get told enough. And Amanda Con of the Greens likes to keep reminding me that we are a minority in this country, that prolifers are a minority, and that most Australians support abortion. And I want her to know that we don't care because we may be a minority, but we are going to be a loud minority. And we are going to fight for what is right.

[00:27:34]>> Come on.

[00:27:39]Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a rich like me.

[00:28:01]I once was lost but now am found.

[00:28:12]Was blind but now I see.

[00:28:20]Hallelujah.

[00:28:22]When we've been there 10,000 years, bright shining as the song with no less days to sing God's praise.

[00:28:52]than when we first began.

[00:29:02]Through many dangers, toys and snails I have already decor with thou brought me safe thus far.

[00:29:32]and grace will lead me home.

[00:29:40]Loud everyone.

[00:29:42]>> Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a rich like me.

[00:30:02]I once was lost but now am found.

[00:30:13]Was blind but now I see.

[00:30:23]I once was lost but now am found.

[00:30:33]Was blind but now I see.

[00:30:43]Thank you Sydney.

[00:30:49]We are GOING TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK.

[00:30:53]ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

[00:30:56]>> We are going to save THIS COUNTRY. THIS COUNTRY is in a dark, dark place. We're in a country where a baby can be killed all the way through pregnancy. Where boys are told they're girls and girls are told they can't be boys. It is so messed up. But we are going to save this country. And Jeemma might have said that we are a minority at this point, but we're only getting started. The origins of Amazing Grace, THAT SONG WAS WRITTEN BY A SLAVE TRADER. He had traded the slaves, uh, whipped them, crammed them through ships, uh, commodified them as products to be bought and to be sold.

[00:31:36]And he came to a point in his life where he realized how gravely wrong that was.

[00:31:41]AND HE WROTE THE SONG AMAZING Grace because no matter how far you've fallen, no matter how many abortions you have had, no matter how many abortions you have paid for, there is always forgiveness and there is always hope.

[00:31:57]>> Amen.

[00:31:59]>> We believe in hope.

[00:32:03]>> We we believe that we can save this country. And when William Wilforce was fighting for the slaves to have human rights, he was a minority. He was laughed at. His whole body got poured out. He was sick. illness after illness.

[00:32:22]But he kept fighting for THE SLAVES. HE FOUGHT HE fought for 50 years to protect these slaves. Are you willing to stay with me on this journey for HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES?

[00:32:39]ARE YOU WILLING TO FIGHT WITH ME for these babies?

[00:32:46]>> No matter how cold it gets, no matter how poor you might become, no matter who laughs at you or what friends you lose, are you WILLING TO STAND?

[00:33:00]IF YOU ARE WILLING TO STAND, I WANT YOU TO TAKE OUT YOUR TORCH LIGHT OF YOUR PHONE AND I WANT YOU TO HOLD it high in the air. I want THIS TO BE YOUR COMMITMENT TONIGHT. ARE YOU WILLING TO stand for the babies? No matter the cost, no matter the no matter the hate, no matter what people say or do, ARE YOU WILLING TO STAND? HOLD YOUR TORCH LIGHTS HIGH BECAUSE THESE 88,000 babies have NO VOICE OTHER THAN OURS. Hold your lights high if you will vote for the babies.

[00:33:34]There are so many things you can vote on. Housing, education, refugees. So, what I'm going to tell you tonight is that a baby in the womb is the most important issue to vote on. AND YOU ARE GOING TO VOTE on the babies for the babies. Hold your torch light as high AS YOU CAN. BECAUSE TONIGHT WE SAY THESE lights are a symbol of our love, of the grace THAT WE RECEIVE, OF THE HOPE THAT WE HOLD IN OUR HEARTS. NO MATTER how hard it gets and whatever the cost is, no matter if they hurt us, RIP US TO PIECES, IMPRISON US. WE STAND FOR THE BABIES.

[00:34:15]>> AMEN.

[00:34:17]>> We stand for the babies.

[00:34:19]>> WE STAND FOR THE BABIES.

[00:34:22]>> We stand for the babies.

[00:34:28]>> Thank you everyone. AND I'M GOING TO WELCOME up the ladies.

[00:34:32]>> We stand BABIES.

[00:34:35]>> WE STAND THE LADIES. WE STAND THE LADIES. WE STAND THE LADIES. WE STAND THE LADIES. WE STAND THE LADIES. WE STAND THE LADIES. WE STAND the ladies.

[00:34:50]WE STAND THE LADIES.

[00:34:54]We're going to welcome up Pastor John Choy from Australian Christian Churches.

[00:34:58]Now he's all the way from WA. It's so wonderful to have Pastor Joel supporting us in this fight. Most of the world's grave injustices have actually been ended by Christians, will force and the battle to end SLAVERY THAT WAS CHRISTIANS. AND WE NEED strong Christians. And we need church leaders who are not afraid TO BE BOLD.

[00:35:20]>> ISN'T THAT RIGHT? YES, >> we don't just want our church leaders to be having cups of tea WITH THE PREMIER.

[00:35:29]WE WANT THEM TO BE speaking truth and pastor Joel IS SO AMAZING. CAN WE PLEASE WELCOME HIM?

[00:35:38]>> Hello Sydney.

[00:35:42]>> Thank you for coming out tonight. My name is Pastor Joel Challayia. I am the leader of the Australian Christian Churches which represents 1,000 churches in our nation.

[00:35:56]>> Let me start off by saying today, tonight, I'm not here as an activist.

[00:36:01]I'm here as a pastor. I'm here as a Christian. I'm here as a disciple. My calling is to love people. My calling is to CARE FOR PEOPLE. MY calling is to help people find hope in Jesus. But my calling is also to encourage Christians to be THE SALT AND LIGHT OF THE WORLD AROUND THEM.

[00:36:28]>> And right now more than ever before, we need salt and light in the area that we are seeing right now in legislation. We need to respond to the reality of unborn children in Australia.

[00:36:44]>> It's so important. I acknowledge that many women face complex and difficult circumstances.

[00:36:51]I, as a pastor, have seen this reality up close and our response must always be marked with compassion and support and care for the woman, BUT AS WELL AS THAT FOR THE CHILD AS WELL.

[00:37:05]>> YES.

[00:37:10]AND yet even in that complexity WE CANNOT LOSE SIGHT of the truth. The Bible is not silent on the value of life. IT SPEAKS SO CLEARLY OF GOD'S CARE FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON, even those before birth. IN JEREMIAH 1:5, the Bible says, "Before I formed you, in the womb, I knew you. BEFORE YOU WERE BORN, I SET YOU APART."

[00:37:41]>> AMEN.

[00:37:42]>> AMEN.

[00:37:44]>> FRIENDS, every child is created in THE IMAGE OF GOD.

[00:37:50]>> EVERY CHILD HAS DIGNITY.

[00:37:53]>> EVERY CHILD HAS VALUE.

[00:37:56]EVERY LIFE MATTERS, >> WHETHER THE CHILD IS WANTED OR UNWANTED >> AND WHETHER the child is male or female.

[00:38:09]>> Tonight here in Sydney, we find ourselves at a very important moment. We have an opportunity to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. This is not about political tribalism. It's not about party loyalty. People will hold different political views and that is their right. But surely we can agree on this. A COMPASSIONATE AND JUST SOCIETY should protect its most vulnerable members.

[00:38:44]>> And as surely there is no one as vulnerable as those that are unborn. Let us be a nation that values every child equally. Let us be a nation that upholds the dignity of every human life. I pray that the leaders in our nation will be given great wisdom. And like we SANG IN THAT SONG, THEY WERE ONCE BLIND, BUT NOW THEY WILL SEE.

[00:39:14]>> MAY GOD BLESS EVERY CHILD AND MAY GOD BLESS AUSTRALIA.

[00:39:24]HOW TO pastor Joel? Now when you put up your lights just before, I really want to thank you for that courage and that commitment. And that's a commitment that we now have made together as a body for these babies that we will not break, that we will sustain. And there's a woman who's going to come up onto the stage now who knows that cost. She's a woman who had so much to lose in stepping out into this fight. She's a senior neonatlogist from Brisbane. So her job is to care for these little babies. She has studied to do that in it's not just med school, but to be a specialist in neonatlogy. We're talking like upwards 15 years of study and to become a senior neonatlogist. And yet she put all of that on the line to set up Australia's first ever secular prolife medical peak body. This woman is amazing. This woman is amazing because she works Dr. Melissa Lie works in a medical industry that says the killer baby is healthcare. HOW MESSED UP IS THAT?

[00:40:42]THAT is the health care profession. That is the me medical profession. THAT TO KILL AND take a life is healthcare. And Dr. Melissa Lie has put all of that on the line to head up Prolife Health Professionals Australia. If you're not following PHPA, Prolife Health Professionals Australia, I want you to do it. They are such brave doctors, nurses, midwives, specialists, GPS, pharmacists. These these are amazing, brave men and women. Could we please welcome Dr. Melissa Lie.

[00:41:27]>> EVERY WOMAN WAS ONCE A GIRL. YES.

[00:41:32]>> EVERY GIRL WAS ONCE A BABY.

[00:41:36]>> EVERY BABY BEGAN LIFE IN UTERO.

[00:41:44]>> A country that PROTECTS WOMEN MUST PROTECT THEM FROM WHEN LIFE BEGINS. YAY.

[00:41:55]>> In several Australian cohort studies, IT SHOWS THAT IN SOME GROUPS, IN SOME CULTURES, the preference FOR A SON IS SO STRONG THAT THE RATIO BETWEEN girls and boys become skewed after the second or third child.

[00:42:16]Coming from a Chinese background, I understand the pressures that are involved, >> but we SHOULD NOT TOLERATE THIS. IN AUSTRALIA, >> in population surveys, almost all Australians agree that terminating a baby because she's A GIRL IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

[00:42:43]three small >> John Rodick's bill seeks to ban this practice.

[00:42:53]This bill when passed will send a clear message, that this practice is not supported.

[00:43:04]Every member of parliament in New South Wales, if they believe in equality for women women, they must support this bill.

[00:43:20]Pro-life Health Professionals Australia is the national peak body who supports medical professionals who want to stay pro-life.

[00:43:28]They want to be able to practice life affirming health care to practice and provide excellent reproductive health care without being involved in elective terminations.

[00:43:49]from when their life begins.

[00:43:51]>> Yes.

[00:43:53]>> SHOULD WE ABIDE A BABY BECAUSE SHE'S A GIRL?

[00:43:55]>> NO.

[00:43:58]>> IS THIS THE KIND OF HEALTHCARE WE WANT?

[00:44:00]>> NO.

[00:44:02]>> DO WE WANT THIS BILL TO PASS?

[00:44:05]>> Thank you for COMING OUT TONIGHT. THANK YOU, PROFESSOR JOANNA. THANK YOU, MLC.

[00:44:10]JOHN, JOIN PHPA. PHPA.

[00:44:18]This woman is amazing.

[00:44:24]>> We want more Dr. Mills. It's just so incredible to see men and women of courage rising up. It's just so amazing.

[00:44:34]I don't think Dr. Melissa Lie ever thought that you'd be standing on the back of a truck in the center OF THE CITY YELLING ABOUT THE BABIES. BUT THAT WAS the call on Dr. MEL'S LIFE. I NEVER thought I would be here either. I never ever dreamed that I would be doing this.

[00:44:52]My ambition when I was four years old was to be prime minister.

[00:45:03]>> But you know what's more important than power? It's the truth. It's love. IT'S JUSTICE. IT'S DOING WHAT'S RIGHT. ISN'T IT? THAT IS SO IMPORTANT. I'M GOING TO WELCOME UP CHARLIE BUCKAS onto the stage. CHARLIE'S PODCAST IS CALLED THE STAND for Truth Podcast. And don't we need to stand for truth in our culture?

[00:45:26]>> Let's welcome Charlie.

[00:45:34]>> Thank you, Joanna. And thank you for everyone showing up tonight. This time last year was probably half as much as this crowd and unbelievable. Thank you for everyone who's come out. Um I want to address two things. The first thing is numbers. For the politicians who don't care about the babies, New South Wales has 8.6 million people, 4 million Christians.

[00:46:03]>> So they don't care about the babies.

[00:46:04]They should care about the vote. 46% of New South Wales is Christian.

[00:46:09]>> Y >> 53% is of faith. So for the ones who don't care about the babies, you should be caring about the numbers.

[00:46:16]>> But Christ is king.

[00:46:21]>> Now the other thing I want to address is the babies. Uh last week Joanna asked me to do a speech up here and I thought, what am I going to talk about? And I prayed on it and then something popped up on social media. I was watching Instagram and a real popped up in America. A gender reveal. Who's been to agenda reveal before?

[00:46:41]This gender reveal was a bit different.

[00:46:45]The lady popped the balloons, blue clouds come up. She was excited that it was a boy so she could abort the baby during the gender reveal. She had a live abortion on Instagram.

[00:47:04]If you're disgusted with that, just imagine some of these politicians here are trying to make that legal, trying to keep that here in Australia. That's what we need to be stopping right today.

[00:47:16]Okay? And last rally, somebody was screaming out, "Abortion is murder.

[00:47:21]>> Abortion is murder.

[00:47:22]>> Abortion is murder.

[00:47:24]>> Is murder.

[00:47:26]>> And Christ IS KING.

[00:47:27]>> CHRIST IS KING. God bless you all.

[00:47:30]>> Thank you, Charlie.

[00:47:33]>> All right.

[00:47:36]Now, this is something I like to do at our rallies because I think it is important to push back on the narratives. I don't know if you guys know this about me, but when I was 20, I was proabortion. I was a leftist studying at Sydney University, not far away from here, studying economics law.

[00:47:56]And I believed THAT WOMEN NEEDED TO HAVE ABORTION in order to be equal to men. I just believed it was a fundamental right. AND DO YOU KNOW WHY I BELIEVED IT? BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED BY A 1970s feminism. And there are so many people in our culture today. People that you would KNOW WHO HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED BY THAT feminism in the 1970s that said for a woman to be equal, they need abortion. that abortion is healthcare, that it is pro-women to allow women to kill babies in the womb, even on the basis of their gender. We are living in a culture that has been brainwashed. And the way that we unpack and change that brainwashing is through conversation.

[00:48:44]And it was a conversation that I had in a car. We were traveling to a school to do some youth ministry work when I was 21. and the topic of abortion came up.

[00:48:54]And there was a young man in the car and he said to me, "I can't believe that you're pro-abortion." And I said, "I'm not pro abortion. I'm just pro-choice.

[00:49:04]Women need abortion to be equal to men."

[00:49:07]And he said to me, "Are you stupid? Do you even know what abortion is?" I said, "Of course I know what it is." And he said, "What is the difference? TELL ME WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE that a little layer of skin on a woman's uterus, how does that magically transform >> a baby from not a person when they're in THE WOMB TO A PERSON 5 seconds after birth. Tell me that he was really annoying and I was stumped. I was stumped. I had literally never thought about that before, that if I was pro-choice, I supported a woman's right to have an abortion. And that meant I supported her to have that abortion right up until birth. But what IS THE DIFFERENCE WITH THAT BABY 5 seconds before birth and 5 seconds after birth? It was a brave man who pushed me and pushed me and I found him so annoying. And in the end, I told him to shut up AND THAT HE DIDN'T have a uterus.

[00:50:13]And what would he know? Cuz he was just a guy. If you're a man in the crowd, have you heard that before?

[00:50:18]>> All the time.

[00:50:19]>> All the time. All the time. I'm sorry on behalf of the women who have told you that in your lives. I'm so sorry.

[00:50:25]>> But this man, he planted a seed. And I went and I researched and I looked at it.

[00:50:31]>> AND WHEN I RESEARCHED and I looked AT IT, I CAME face to face with babies in the womb who had been killed. But I saw not just words on a page as I researched, but I saw the arms, the legs, and the face of a human child. And I knew that for a woman to be equal to men, there had to be another way to abortion. And so we need brave men to stand up. We need brave, strong men to stand up.

[00:51:00]>> And we need men to fight.

[00:51:04]I've spoken to so many men who feel afraid because they feel they're going to be shouted down, that people are going to tell them that they can't speak and they should mind their own business, that they have no right to tell a woman what to do with her body. WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT ABORTION DOES? IT KILLS ANOTHER person's body. It violently rips their arms and legs off and crushes their skull. You have EVERY RIGHT TO TELL A WOMAN NOT TO DO THAT. MEN IN THE CROWD, YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO TELL A WOMAN.

[00:51:39]Men in THE CROWD, WE NEED YOU TO TELL THE women of this nation, "Do not count the unborn."

[00:51:47]If you are a man in THE CROWD, AND YOU ARE GOING TO FIND your voice. Now, some of you may have been doing this for years. Some of you, this will not be new. In fact, the man that I had that argument with when I was 21, I ended up marrying him.

[00:52:04]But for some of you men, this is going to be new. And so what I'm going to say to you now is if you are a man in the crowd, and I don't want the women to speak. I know women love to speak. Jaba, jab, jab, JAB, JABA. BUT ZIP IT CUZ this is for the men. IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE SILENT NO MORE AND STAND UP FOR THE babies and for the women, I WANT TO HEAR YOU ROAR. COME ON, MEN.

[00:52:39]COME ON.

[00:52:42]We love our men and we need you. We love our men and we need you. And this year on social media, we've created Tradies for Babies. Who loves tradies FOR BABIES?

[00:52:58]Tradies for Babies is going off on socials. And because we created Tradies for Babies, the men came and they built this amazing stage for us. Don't we love them?

[00:53:14]We're just going to hear from Jake from Trainee.

[00:53:23]Um, I'm here tonight because I really love babies and um I'm a dad. My wife's over there and some of my kids. We have six kids together. Hey, there's a lamb.

[00:53:35]And um I'll just keep having babies, but it's we got to stop. Um I love babies so much. And um a builder mate of mine rang me about 6 months ago and he said, "Oh, Jake, send a video to this Tradies for Babies mob." And I didn't have social media at the time, so I just emailed it.

[00:53:53]And then um I didn't even know if they posted it. I didn't see the backlash cuz I'm not on there. And then um I get a call from one of the um designers and architects from the director actually rings me up. He goes, "Jay, what have you done?" And I said, "I don't know.

[00:54:09]What have I done?" And then he starts starts reading me a letter of um some hate mail that they got. It was about me because I posted the video that's basically, you know, supporting pro-life and and that I support these precious little babies. Um, and so someone's, you know, trying to cause trouble and they've said, "Oh, Jake's this and that." And, um, it was pretty full on.

[00:54:32]Um, and then a few more things happen like that. Uh, and so after that, I thought, let's let's post some more videos. So, I did. AND AND so I just want to encourage anyone um you know men and women that um we don't answer to these people.

[00:54:56]>> We we answer to God and we will have to answer to God one day.

[00:55:00]>> And now now that we know that this this crazy [ __ ] goes on like you can't stand for it. It's got to stop. We have to stand up. And especially for men as well. We are we are put on this earth to u provide and protect for our families.

[00:55:16]But not just for our families, for society and for the vulnerable in society. And there's no one more vulnerable than these babies.

[00:55:26]>> How amazing.

[00:55:29]All right. NOW, IT'S NOT A COMPETITION, but I reckon the women can probably beat the men at the ch the cheer. I don't know. I just got this feeling the men did a really good job of cheering, but I want the women now because, you know, as women, all of the opinion polling tends to show that it's women who struggle to speak up more for the unborn. I don't know if you've seen that in the classroom, at high school, in the university seminar, or in the workplace. It's the women who are so afraid of voicing for the unborn.

[00:56:06]It's not just the men who have been told to mind their own uterus. It's women who have been told if you are not pro-abortion then you are not one of us. And so we the sisterhood must actually reclaim what it means to be a woman to nurture to nurture the children whether they are physically within us or spiritually AMONGST OUR MIDST. WE are all called to motherhood. We are all called to love the children in our lives and our communities. That is what it means to be a woman. A woman is someone who loves and nurtures and protects. And a woman is strong. She fights. She speaks. She's not afraid. And so to the women in this crowd, I want to say to you, when the moment comes, and the moment will come, I want you to speak for the babies. I want you to find your voice for the babies. So, in a minute, I'm going to ask you TO ROAR YOUR LUNGS OUT FOR YOUR for all of the Australian babies. The ones that we lost LAST YEAR, THE ONES we will lose this year, and the ones WE WILL LOSE EVERY YEAR AFTER TODAY, UNLESS we fight and scream and roar. You are a woman and you want to stand for the babies. Let me hear you roar.

[00:58:06]Wow, that was amazing. The men were good, but the women were better. I'm just going to say it. I'm just going to say that we love you all. Now, there are some very brave women if you want to come up uh who on social media really took a plunge. I was just making videos for about 3 years and it felt quite lonely doing that by myself and I it was on my heart that we needed young women cuz I'm not that young. I'm actually 43 and I felt like we needed some young women, like some new young women to be brave enough to speak up for the unborn.

[00:58:43]>> And six women answered that call. And we have three of them here tonight from Bird Flip. Have you heard of Bird Flip?

[00:58:53]>> I don't think anyone ever thought there'd be a pro-life organization called Bird Flip, but here we are. And we love bird flip because they are flipping the script on the abortion narrative. They're flipping the script that abortion is healthcare, that abortionist pro women. These women are so brave. Could we please welcome Anna, Elsie, and Lola.

[00:59:18]>> Good evening everyone. How are we?

[00:59:22]>> Amazing. We are here tonight because we care about women. And as young women, it's just always assumed that because you're young and you have a uterus that you want to kill babies and that abortion is liberation and abortion is a human right, a women's right. But we're here to say that WE'RE SICK OF THAT.

[00:59:37]>> WE are so sick of this cheap solution.

[00:59:41]WE ARE SO SICK OF BEING TOLD that it is pro- women to kill OUR CHILDREN, LET ALONE our daughters. And enough is enough. We want TO BELIEVE IN A WORLD WHERE WOMEN DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER THAN ABORTION and all babies deserve life. So guys, if you have any voice left, we are going to ask you to use it and to raise it and hopefully even lose it because we're going to make some noise.

[01:00:14]LET'S GO.

[01:00:21]Let's go.

[01:00:27]>> Come on. Hello, SYDNEY.

[01:00:34]>> WHO KNOWS THAT LIFE IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR?

[01:00:38]>> LIFE IS WORTH CONTENDING FOR.

[01:00:42]>> AND WE'RE GOING TO SAVE OUR GIRLS. SO COME UP WITH ME. SAVE OUR GIRLS. SAVE OUR GIRLS.

[01:00:50]>> SAVE OUR GIRLS.

[01:00:52]>> SAVE OUR GIRLS.

[01:00:54]>> SAVE OUR GIRLS. SAVE OUR GIRLS. SAVE OUR GIRLS.

[01:01:00]SAY GIRLS LOUDER.

[01:01:18]SAY GIRLS. SAY GIRLS. SAY GIRLS. SAY GIRLS.

[01:01:28]Save our girls. SAVE OUR GIRLS. SAVE OUR GIRLS.

[01:01:34]>> THANK YOU.

[01:01:36]AND NOW THEY'RE HERE FOR THE AMAZING ARTIST WHO MADE THIS ARTWORK.

[01:01:40]I painted these paintings of Emma and Ruth BECAUSE THESE GIRLS ARE GOING NAMELESS.

[01:01:49]THEY ARE GOING WITHOUT THEIR PHOTOGRAPHS. THEY'RE GOING WITHOUT PORTRAITS. THEY'RE GOING THEY'RE GOING FORGOTTEN AND UNNAMED. BUT WE WILL NAME THEM. WE WILL LOVE THEM. WE WILL SEE THEM. WHEN THEY ARE ABANDONED BY THIS GOVERNMENT, WHERE THEY'RE ABANDONED BY HEALTHCARE, WE WILL FIGHT FOR THEM. THE TIME IS NOW. NOW, WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN THIS quietly as a whisper and grow it into THE MOST POWERFUL MOVEMENT THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER SEEN.

[01:02:21]>> And so this chant goes, the time is now.

[01:02:24]You cut twice in between and we begin as a whisper. The time is now. The time is now. The time is now. The time is now.

[01:02:36]The time is now. The time is now.

[01:03:05]>> LOUDER.

[01:03:05]>> THE TIME IS NOW.

[01:03:09]>> TIME IS NOW.

[01:03:10]>> DECLARE IT.

[01:03:11]>> THE TIME IS NOW.

[01:03:15]>> TIME IS NOW.

[01:03:16]>> LOUD UP.

[01:03:17]>> TIME IS NOW.

[01:03:18]>> LOUDER.

[01:03:18]>> TIME IS NOW. THE TIME IS NOW. LIGHT.

[01:03:26]>> THE TIME IS NOW. THE TIME IS NOW.

[01:03:29]>> THANK YOU GUYS. THANK YOU, SYDNEY.

[01:03:35]>> Great job. Aren't they amazing? The time is now and to tell US WHAT THE NEXT STEPS are as we go from here because we have a long fight ahead. As you know, we've got four more votes that we have to get and they have to come from the Nationals. We know that Labor and the Greens are going to be unlikely to give us any any votes that that we need right now. We we know that we know that if we >> Yeah. And and that we have to remember that next March, don't we? We have to remember this next March when we vote.

[01:04:08]But between now and when this bill goes to a vote, there's four votes and those are Nationals MPs. Now, Josh Ro from Australian Christian Lobby has been one of the most amazing supporters in putting all of this together. He's a a really hardworking man, a a dad of young children. Um, and I'm very grateful to Michelle Pierce and Josh from the Australian Christian Lobby for the work that they do. And so Josh is going to tell us what our what our future is, what our next steps are. Could you please welcome Josh Ro.

[01:04:42]>> Well, thank you Dr. Joe and thank you Sydney for coming out and standing for life. I want to friends now talk directly to you. Okay. I want you to look around who is here with us. Moms, dads, tradies like Jake and his family, health care professionals like Mel.

[01:05:01]We've got grandparents, students, everyday Australians. And you know what?

[01:05:08]Sometimes the world overlooks everyday Australians. But so often history is changed by everyday people who are willing to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. I see over the course of history that God profoundly has used everyday people. Think of when he wanted to humble Pharaoh. Who did he call? Moses. A man who doubted himself.

[01:05:35]A man who struggled with speech. Think about when he wanted to level Goliath.

[01:05:41]Did he pick someone of power, a king, a warrior? No. A humble shepherd boy, David. Or what about Jesus's team when he wanted to change the very fabric of our world? He chose fishermen.

[01:05:55]Fishermen. Tax collectors. Shout out to anyone from the ATO. You're welcome here tonight.

[01:06:02]Ordinary people. Ordinary people. That's why I love groups like Tradies for Babies. quickest follow I ever gave on Instagram. Why? Because it's everyday bloing to use their voice to speak for life.

[01:06:17]And I can relate to that. We speak up for what matters. I'll give you a story of a man just like that to illustrate what you can do. Adrien, he's a volunteer of ours. Now, Adrian is not a political lobbyist. He's not even particularly political. But last year when we were putting up a fight against the Greens abortion bill, Adrian chose to do something. He took his church pastor to a local community event where his member labor member Sophie Cotzus was present and he respectfully ga engaged the issue of abortion. That led to a meeting with Sophie Cotzus. He then prepared, spoke courageously, truthfully, and with conviction. And guess what? Sophie Cotzus was one of the few Labour members to vote against the entirety of the Greens abortion bill.

[01:07:04]Come on, that's worth celebrating.

[01:07:06]That's worth celebrating.

[01:07:12]>> Adrien is an example of how everyone of us can use our voice. If Adrian can do it, we can do it. Okay? If Adrian can do it, we can do it. Because a movement is not created by one famous person or one organization. It's created by thousands of men and women who are willing to use their voice to speak. History is changed by people like these. History is changed by people like you and you and you and you. So we must find our voice to speak.

[01:07:49]We must find our voice to speak. I'll finish with this. Edmund Burke is often attributed with this quote. All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men and women do nothing.

[01:08:03]Well, we are not doing nothing here tonight. We are standing for life.

[01:08:08]>> We are standing for life. Come on.

[01:08:15]>> But I'm going to say friends, standing is not enough. You know why?

[01:08:21]Because tomorrow you will go back to your workplaces, to your churches, to your communities, to your social groups, and you will face the pressure to stay silent.

[01:08:32]>> You will feel uncomfortable. You will be encouraged by others to put your head down and just stay in the clear. But at that moment, I need you to find the courage to speak. That is the moment when your voice matters most because we all have a voice and we all have a choice and we must use that in order to speak for those who can't speak for themselves.

[01:09:00]>> All right.

[01:09:02]Now, I'm going to finish with this. When I say who will speak for life, you say I will speak for life. Who will speak for life?

[01:09:11]>> I will speak for life.

[01:09:13]>> Who will speak for life? I WILL SPEAK FOR LIFE.

[01:09:16]>> ONE MORE TIME LOUDER. WHO WILL SPEAK FOR LIFE?

[01:09:19]>> I WILL SPEAK FOR LIFE.

[01:09:20]>> Thank you, SYDNEY.

[01:09:25]>> WOW.

[01:09:26]>> I will speak for life. You will speak for life. We will speak for life. And we will get this bill and the next bill and the bill after that passed until we save every baby. That is my commitment to you that we will not end this fight. We will not exit it for anything or anyone. No matter what is thrown at us or how much money they offer, we will never stop speaking up for the babies. You know, I love Australia. DO YOU LOVE AUSTRALIA?

[01:09:54]>> I love Australia. DO YOU LOVE AUSTRALIA?

[01:09:58]AND YOU know just before when I exited down the steps, Gemma, if you want to come up, a lady came up to me and I think she she was from uh India and she said to me, "This is not A DEVELOPED C THIS IS NOT A developing country. You need to tell the crowd this is not the third world. This is Australia. How could we be killing babies in Australia on the basis of their gender?"

[01:10:21]>> And this this woman, she said to me, you know, this isn't India. It isn't China.

[01:10:25]This is Australia.

[01:10:27]If we don't believe in equality IN AUSTRALIA, IF WE DON'T believe in the equal dignity of every Australian person, then what is THIS COUNTRY? WHAT IS this country? IF WE DON'T STAND UP FOR the fair go for every person, no matter their size, their age, their race, what they've been through, A DISABILITY, THEIR GENDER, it doesn't matter. We are all Australian. Isn't that right?

[01:10:55]And we believe in that country and we're going to fight for that country. And Gemma is going to lead us in the national anthem because we stand here as Australians and we say we will fight for the unborn. No matter where it takes us, how long this road takes, this is Australia and we stand for the babies.

[01:11:20]Nice and loud everybody.

[01:11:22]Australians.

[01:11:24]Oh, let us rejoice for we are young and free.

[01:11:33]We've gold and soil and well photo. Our home is birth by sea.

[01:11:44]Our land abounds in nature gifts of beauty rich and rare in history's page let every stage ad joyful strains and let us sing advance.

[01:12:13]Australia.

[01:12:24]>> Okay, Sydney, we are going to do this. We are going to save these babies. Every single baby. Every single baby. We are going to END ABORTION IN THIS COUNTRY. WE'RE GOING TO DO IT TOGETHER. We're going to come out in the rain, the hail, the whatever it is. If I do another rally, if we need to do another rally, will you be there?

[01:12:50]>> And look at how many people we have.

[01:12:52]THIS IS THE biggest prolife rally we've ever had in Sydney on McFar Street.

[01:12:59]>> And that's because of you. That's because of you. This is bigger than the three rallies we held last year. If we happen THIS AGAIN, MY ONE ASK is that you bring one other person. I need you to bring one other person. IF YOU BRING IF EVERYBODY here brings just one person, then we go all the way to the lights over there and all the WAY TO THE LIGHTS over there. That's what I need. I need you to do that. CAN YOU DO THAT?

[01:13:29]>> OKAY. SO, action items. GET THE NETS. I MEAN, DON'T PHYSICALLY GET THE NATS, BUT GET THE NATS. CALL THEM, EMAIL THEM, speak to them, tell them you won't vote for them. That's the priority. Also, talk to Labor. I think we COULD DO WITH VOTES FROM THERE. SO, GO don't bother with the Greens. They just love killing babies, so don't BOTHER WITH THE GREENS.

[01:13:50]BUT START WITH THE NATS. Get the gnats.

[01:13:53]I need you to pester the gnats. We need four gnats MPs. That's between us and saving the babies. This is four. Four nationals. Secondly, I need you to be brave in your workplace, in your universities, in your schools. I need you to have the conversation. I need you to share videos on social media. Write comments on social media. It makes a difference what you do in the comments.

[01:14:20]And the third THING IS WHEN WE HAVE THIS RALLY, we want to double it in size. CAN WE DO THAT?

[01:14:27]>> ALL RIGHT. I love you guys. You're the best. Thank you, SYDNEY. AND GOOD NIGHT.

[01:14:42]YOU GUYS WANT TO COME IN THE FRONT?
