ALP betrayal of the workers State Labor governments who have legalised abortion have betrayed the workers Labor is supposed to represent. Workers in heavy labouring jobs often have their backs and knees stressed and cannot work until age 70 as suggested by the Productivity Commission. They may have to go on disability payments if the pension age is raised - and it will need to be raised if 90,000 future taxpayers are aborted each year and we have a top-heavy ratio of retirees to workers.This, not global warming as suggested by former PM Kevin Rudd, is “the greatest moral challenge of our times”

Prayer

Heavenly Father we come to you in Jesus' Name and pray that all members of our Committee will be blessed. Jesus said when two or three are gathered together, there I am in the midst of them.
