Atheists condone and condemn rape

This is the sleeze that introduced a Private Members bill. His first wife died of cancer in 2011. Not bad for a 78 year old "good christian"

Sorry, had to read some 73 pages but...

Backbench members put their trust in the Cabinet process. Ministers introduce legislation in this place
in a tried, tested and proven way. The process might not be perfect and not everyone agrees with it, but I am
concerned about the introduction of this private member's bill. Regardless of whether that process is right,
wrong or different, it has not been handled in the best way. Allowing members a conscience vote is a clear
indication of a lack of confidence in this bill. We are seeking to change a law yet I do not understand the bill.
One thing is for sure: We cannot control the judicial system. Indeed, some judicial decisions are far from what
we would like them to be. Members are aware of the level of public discontent with our judicial system, which
finds voice from time to time in public protests. A constituent told me that I have to support this bill, and I told
her my views. I cannot support the bill in its current form. I do not believe the process is correct. If the law is
worthy of change then it should be done in the correct manner.

Pursuant to sessional orders business interrupted and set down as an order of the day for a
future day.
The DEPUTY-SPEAKER (Mr Thomas George):

This is all that is in the Hansard regarding "Zoe's Law". No win for the religious as yet.
