JANE
COWAN: The Victorian legislation
will maintain the ban on human
reproductive cloning but allow
therapeutic cloning for research.
The Victorian Health Minister
Bronwyn Pike will introduce
the legislation into Parliament
tonight.
BRONWYN PIKE: Victoria has
been a national leader in
the development of new treatments
for diseases, and certainly
we have a number of scientists
and medical institutes here
who have indicated they they're
very keen to continue their
pioneering stem cell research.
JANE COWAN: This will be put
to a conscience vote here,
as it was federally. What
sort of response do you expect
it to meet with?
BRONWYN PIKE: I fully expect
that Members of Parliament
will think very carefully
about this particular piece
of legislation and, as was
the case in the Federal Parliament,
that there will be some very,
very thoughtful responses.
The conscience vote is certainly
very significant and important
and does allow MPs to really,
I think, educate themselves.
TEACHERS
are taking students as young
as 13 to get the "morning
after" pill without parents
being told.
The
revelation comes as a government
agency called for condom machines
to be installed in schools,
starting from year 9 then
to progressively younger year
levels. And a leading reproduction
specialist has said that condom
machines should be placed
in primary schools because
children are losing their
virginity as young as 12.
A Sunday Herald Sun investigation
found teenage girls are being
taken to family planning "action
centres" by teachers and counsellors.
Dr Kathy McNamee, from Family
Planning Victoria, said her
group's city action centre
was visited by school staff
with young teens in tow to
pick up "morning after" pills.
She
said parents would generally
not be told what was happening
because of privacy concerns.
Parents
Victoria president Gail McHardy
said she was also aware of
school "pill runs" in Melbourne
and regional Victoria that
had left parents fuming when
their daughters eventually
told them.
"(In
one case) the mother was very
frustrated and disappointed
because the girl was only
very early secondary age,"
said Ms McHardy. She said
it seemed ludicrous that schools
needed parental consent for
excursions to the zoo but
not to clinics to get the
morning after pill.
The
Education Department said
the practice was unauthorised.
A
spokeswoman said: "It's completely
unacceptable." CEO of public
body VicHealth Rob Moodie
said a radical approach was
needed as an antidote to current
"prudish" approaches to teen
sex that risked lives.
"We've got major rises in
chlamydia, a syphilis epidemic
and rising HIV in gay men,"
he said.
Mr Moodie said he did not
see why schools refused to
install condom machines when
infection rates were getting
worse.
"If
we can get availability into
16, 17, 18-year-olds, that's
a great place to start," he
said.
Australian
Christian Lobby head Jim Wallace
said it was a tragedy the
parental role of providing
ethical guidance to their
children was being taken away.
As
you may know, Australian Christian
Lobby (ACL) has launched a
new Make
a Stand campaign
against the legalisation
of prostitution in WA.
The Make a Stand website provides
an easy facility where a user
can enter their postcode,
bring up their MLAs & MLCs
names and send an email to
them asking them to vote against
the legalisation of prostitution.
As the Women
Are Worth More
campaign makes clear, legalising
prostitution doesn't dignify
the women involved in the
sex industry; it just dignifies
the industry, its pimps and
madams and the men who buy
sex.
Legalised prostitution leads
to a massive expansion of
the sex industry including
sex slavery and trafficking
in women.
Those living in WA will be
able to email their own state
politicians.
People
living outside WA can send
a message to WA Premier Alan
Carpenter, copied to their
own state premier.
Please
could you promote this campaign
through your own networks,
asking your supporters to
make a stand against the legalisation
of prostitution in WA.
Many
thanks

Moral
Values are now OUT
- They are unwanted in WA
(catching up with most other
states?) according to Jim
McGinty.
BUT
government regulation and
encouragement of 'sex for
entertainment' is IN.
Despite
the appalling record of sexual
abuse, drug use, under-age
girls and sex slavery continually
exposed in Victoria since
brothel 'legalisation', the
WA government have decided
to legalise, and thus 'normalise'
the 'sex industry'.
Victoria
has also seen an 800% increase
in ILLEGAL brothels (50 -
400) and the establishment
of at least 100 'legal' ones.

Gerard
Goiran, CDP State Director
and Senate Candidate stated
today that:
Jim
McGinty’s working group on
Prostitution Law Reform has
now completed its report.
Mr
McGinty has indicated that
a Bill will soon be introduced
into Parliament to implement
the recommendations of the
report.
If the recommendations of
the report are adopted by
Parliament, brothels and escort
agencies will now be certificated
and given an appearance of
respectability that they should
not have.
They will be treated like
any other business and subject
to planning considerations
only.
The
report says that moral objections
should not be taken into account!
Local governments will not
be allowed to prohibit them,
only to regulate them in accordance
with uniform planning legislation
to apply throughout the entire
State. [As is now the case
in Victoria and NSW]

The urgent email comments
below are from the UK Christian
Lawyers Fellowship, as are
the article linked to below:
They
highlight how free speech,
and morality can easily disappear
when governments call evil
good and good evil.
Christians
in the UK are being told they
cannot oppose homosexuality,
while anyone is free to attack
Christianity.
The Sexual Orientation Regulations
will stop all opposition to
homosexuality despite it's
dangers to the individual
and the society.
They
will force homosexual 'normalisation'
on society and same-sex parenting
on children.
WHAT
CAN YOU DO
Pray
for our Christian brothers
and sisters in the UK
Pray
for a commitment to stand
firm and fight for truth and
for freedom of religious conviction.
Pray
that Christians will defy
these laws and openly challenge
the authorities.
PLEASE,
if you have contacts in the
UK, pass this email on to
them and ask them to join
the opposition to these appalling
regulations - once they become
law in the UK the pressure
will mount to have the same
thing here.
