I trawled thru the Bill over 2 days....the most dangerous bit of legislation in Australian history I say...we must all write to & call these independents & praise & thank them hugely ...keep up the pressure, we are not out of the woods yet! Great work Rebekah!

Thank you for your work Rebekah, as well as the other Substackers, IPA, Spectator magazine, Avi Yemeni and other outlets who led the resistance.

How about Gerard Rennick, Alex Antic, Outsiders on Sky News for a start.

And of course Jo Nova, who's not actually a Substacker.

Lidia Thorpe's vote is the most important, being such a sage, and commanding the high level of collegiate respect, she does.

I wonder if she’ll stage a protest. I wouldn’t mind it.

Thank you for the good news Rebekah, onward and upward. Greens you are on my to-do list, priority 1. Was once a Green but would not consider going with any party who does not oppose the loss of human rights we suffered and still suffer. Heart Party, once known as Informed Medical Options, stole my heart.

Dont be fooled by Lambie! She wants a stronger MAD Bill!!!

It ain’t over by a long shot...

Lambie claims it’s "not tough enough"... "Not taking it seriously"... She'd rack it up a few notches, not repeal it altogether. Lambie is a little tyrant in the making! Im told she voted for full term abortion and we know she cheered on the mandates and discriminatory practices during lockdowns.

I lament that Rex Patrick has nailed his flag to her mast!

Imagine how much better the world would be if it's governments were entirely populated with the likes of Wong, Gallagher, Hanson-Young, Thorpe and Lambie. Such jewels.
