I do not believe any Member should dictate on silencing debate. Whether it comes from the church or anyone else outside this Chamber, everyone has the right to freedom of expression. I believe that on an issue of moral conscience every element of debate should be garnered, fostered and listened to. Who are we, as Senators, to tell any church or any religious organisation that its views do not count?
