| A SUGGESTED [ SPECIMEN ] PETITION..... TO THE HONOURABLE SPEAKER AND MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ASSEMBLY IN THE AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENT THE PETITION OF A CERTAIN CITIZEN/S OF AUSTRALIA. . . .
DRAWS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE HOUSE . . . . THE GRAVE CONCERN I/ WE HAVE AT THE BREAKDOWN OF THE RESPECT FOR THE LIVES OF AUSTRALIAN CITIZENS TODAY (PARTICULARLY IN REGARD TO THE ATTITUDES OF HEALTH PROFESSIONALS & THOSE WHO AID AND ABET THEM). THIS IS REFLECTED IN THE SYSTEMATIC MURDER OF THE UNBORN*, THE INCREASINGLY VOCAL CALL FOR THE DISPOSAL OF THE ELDERLY (EUTHANASIA), THE INCREAS INGLY IRRESPONSIBLE SPREAD OF LIFE THREATENING DISEASE AND THE LENIENT SENTENCES FOR HOMICIDE. YOUR PETITIONERS THEREFORE PRAY THAT THE HOUSE.... INTRODUCE CAPITAL PUNISHMENT FOR THOSE WHO PERPETRATE SUCH MURDEROUS PRACTICES. THE LIGHT OF NATURE (IN TERMS OF NATURAL JUSTICE/LAW) AND THE BIBLE ** (SWORN ON BY THE QUEEN AS PART OF HER CORONATION OATH) HAVE CONVINCED US/ME THAT SUCH PUNISHMENT IS APPROPRIATE. IN SUMMARY I/WE DECLARE TO YOU THAT IT IS OUR/MY WILL THAT PARLIAMENT INSTRUCT THE JUDICIARY OF THIS LAND TO DO THEIR DUTY BEFORE GOD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THIS MATTER. Signed . . . . . .. . -------------------------- < *EXCEPTING ABORTION WHEN THE MOTHER'S PHYSICAL HEALTH IS IN EXTREME DANGER (E.G. ECTOPIC PREGNANCY) ** GENESIS 9:6 & ROMANS 13 : 4 (AUTHORIZED [KING JAMES] VERSION) 1611
