With the new state government in Queensland , we are going to have to argue again that:
– Women have a right to bodily autonomy
– That 10-year-old kiddies should only be sent to prison at the very last resort.
We mustn’t argue that:
– foetus are not babies and they shouldn’t have more rights than women
– bad children are not going to murder us all in our beds
which are the arguments that our new religious overlords would prefer.

It’s going to be a battle
Short and sharp and we are going to win (again)
