00:00I'm giving you a straight answer about my team doesn't want to see change and I'm not
00:04raising this by the way. For four years I've been leader in this party, I haven't raised
00:09that issue once, not once.
00:10But you've also had MPs talk to community clerks.
00:14I'm also giving you the position of my team, all of them, and you've asked many of them.
00:21You've asked members with long-held views, you've asked candidates and they've all said
00:25the same thing. So I come back to why we're discussing it. We're discussing it because
00:29the Labor Party is spending a bucketload on social media to peddle something because they're
00:34trying to whip up some sort of belief.
00:35Can I disagree with you on that? Aren't we talking about it because almost all of your
00:39MPs in 2018 voted against the laws and then other members of your team like John Kraus
00:44have been telling community forums that we need to change the laws.
00:47No, I believe you're talking about it because the Labor Party is attempting to run a campaign
00:51on it.
00:52But you also can't give a straight answer about whether there'll be a conscience vote.
00:54I'm giving you a very straight answer. There'll be no change.
00:59I'm giving you a very straight answer. There'll be no change.
