And I'm not giving any wriggle room, there will be no change to that act.
00:04
You've been asked a hundred different times, a hundred different ways about a conscience vote.
00:09
You can't give a straight answer on the conscience vote, why not?
00:12
Because I'm giving you a straight answer about my team doesn't want to see change.
00:15
And I'm not raising this by the way, for four years I've been leader in this party,
00:20
I haven't raised that issue once, not once.
00:22
But you've also had MPs talk to community forums.
00:27
I'm also giving you the position of my team, all of them.
00:31
And you've asked many of them.
00:33
You've asked members with long held views, you've asked candidates, and they've all said the same thing.
00:38
So I come back to why we're discussing it.
00:40
We're discussing it because the Labor Party is spending a bucket load on social media
00:45
to peddle something because they're trying to whip up some sort of...
00:48
Can I disagree with you on that?
00:49
Aren't we talking about it because almost all of your MPs in 2018 voted against the laws
00:54
and then other members of your team, like John Kraus, have been telling community forums that we need to change the laws.
00:59
No, I believe you're talking about it because the Labor Party is attempting to run a campaign on it.
01:03
But you also can't give a straight answer about whether there'll be a conscience vote.
01:06
I'm giving you a very straight answer, there'll be no change.
01:09
And I reckon if you went into any group today, any sporting club, if you went into a restaurant
01:15
and you asked somebody, and you asked them about that,
01:19
and you put the position, which I'm putting, I think they'd understand that's a pretty straight answer.
01:23
That's what it is.
