- [Voiceover] We've gotta
aspire to give our children
what I believe to be the
very best circumstances.
That's to have a mother and a father.
(Calm piano music)
- [Voiceover] Marriage is
between a man and a woman
because of children.
Because motherhood and
fatherhood are important.
- [Voiceover] What a load of rubbish.
- [Voiceover] Legalising same
sex marriage will institute
the motherless family,
or the fatherless family.
It will inflict that
depravation on those children.
- [Voiceover] Same-sex couples
can't simultaneously provide
both mothering and fathering skills.
(Voices overlapping)
- [Voiceover] I and the Labour
Party have a clear policy.
- [Voiceover] Who takes
the boy to football?
Who tells him what's right from
wrong?
- [Voiceover] If this bill is
passed it'll seriously deter
mothers putting their
babies up for adoption.
- [Voiceover] Paedophiles
will one day marry children.
- [Voiceover] It's just
natural order to do this
with a biological,
married mother and father.
- [Gus] I didn't have a dad as you
know,
I had this thing called a donor.
A donor when they, a man delivers
sperm
into the hospital, into a little
container
and then they freeze it so it's all
fresh
and then they give it to the womans.
Two women that can have,
that want to have a baby
and then they have a baby.
And we did that
and now I'm here.
- [Jamie] Should we just put
all the stockings together Jen?
Okay, you go-
One Santa and reindeer, coming up.
Look at that, that is definitely
reindeer's got in that.
I know reindeers.
I know how they eat.
Like savages.
And you gotta write the note.
Didn't you have a note
when you were a kid.
That's what's wrong with you,
didn't have a note,
Watch out, to say thanks
for all the stuff.
You don't have to even, just spit it
out.
(Laughs)
(Sighs)
(Clock ticks)
- It's Christmas everybody.
- [Rory] Look, it's Santa's
footprint!
- [Jamie] Oh it is too, must
have come down the side.
- His reindeer's hoof print!
- Check it out!
I dunno if Santa's got horseshoes
has he, reindeer shoes?
- [Gus] It must be the reindeer.
- No Mum, there was Santa's reindeers
and this is Santa's foot.
- You see Rory, they
must have gone from here,
did a big jump, landed here
and then they must have started to
fly.
That's why there isn't
any more footprints,
am I right Amanda?
(Sportscasters on TV)
I love wrestling more than every
teensy little grain of sand
in the world.
Then, fly in a spaceship across space
and scatter them on every single
star,
and that's how much I like wrestling.
Doo doo doo doo doo
I was wondering...
You know when the WWE comes to
Australia?
- Yeah.
- Can I go?
- Do you want this paper?
- Do not try and change the subject.
- Can you go to wrestling?
- Yeah, when it comes to Australia
please.
- I don't know, we'll have
to discuss it with Jamie.
- Come on.
- I'll discuss it.
- How do you feel about it?
- Oh I worry that it's just the
worst.
- I've heard this before.
- Boofhead, male thing that exists.
- Or the best boofhead
male thing that exists.
- Oh dear, the wrestling the
wrestling.
What are we gonna do
about the wrestling, hm?
(Baby talk)
- [Recording] Let's do
a breathing exercise.
Make sure you keep good posture
throughout
and breathe deeply into
your abdominal area.
Your shoulders and your
chest shouldn't move.
If you become a little dizzy,
just take a short break.
This one's four sips
in and four hisses out.
(Rhythmic music)
In, and out.
(Hisses)
- [Ebony] When you're singing,
you just forget everything else.
Especially when you're stressed,
you just start singing and you forget
that you're angry about something
and you just listen to the
song and pretend you're there.
Too late for second guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
I really want to get into Newtown.
It's a really good school.
If I went there it'd probably be the
place
where I'd most be accepted.
- Having two mums you're
probably gonna have
a better time of it at
Newtown then you would
in a school out west where
they may not be so tolerant
of the fact that you have two mums.
In Newtown no one's even going to
blink
at the fact that you have two mums,
so it's probably the
school that's best for you.
- What high school am I going to
if I don't get into Newtown?
- No you're getting into Newtown.
- How do you know?
- (Laughs) Because
you'll get into Newtown,
I have faith in you, you're
gonna get into Newtown.
- Don't you need a back up plan?
- Even if it takes us
moving back to Newtown,
you'll get in Newtown as local.
(Rhythmic music)
- [Recording] Now this is the last
one.
Make it really steady.
Keep going.
(People chatter)
- Mum?
Um, about AFL.
I've been keeping up
quite a lot on my homework
and they're enrolling pretty soon.
And I would like to join
and I've only got one homework
strike,
that was 'cause it was over the
weekend.
But I've learned my lesson
so now I'm doing every single
bit of homework tonight.
All be good.
- So when will you be doing AFL?
When are the times for AFL?
- Sunday.
- No way mate.
That's Saturday sports, Sunday
sports.
We have a right to have a weekend
too.
So this is not just about you,
and as a mature young man,
in year seven,
your consideration shouldn't
just be for what you want.
That's my time to visit God,
that's my time to talk to God.
So for me, that is very important to
me.
So if your game ends up
being on a Sunday morning
that means that I'm missing church.
- [Matt] When I went to
Bible study last Sunday,
we just read out a passage
and tried to think of the
meaning of that passage.
There's a nonbelievers tunnel
which is very wide and easy to go
through.
But then there's a believer's tunnel
which is very thin and
not so easy to go through.
And the reason why the
believer's tunnel is so thin
is because one, not many people
choose it
and two, it's hard to stay on that
track
once you've chosen it
because not all good
things in life come easy.
At our age we have the decision now
whether or not we believe
or don't believe in God.
(Church bell rings)
(TV news plays)
- Your call man.
If you can read what the
school lunch is to us,
then you can have it.
- The Wednesday special is...
(Struggles with word)
- ls what?
- Is rav...
- Rav, and what's the next letter.
- Ravin...
- No, rav-ee.
O...
Li...
- (Gasp) Say it again?
- Ravioli?
Return to the canteen by Sunday.
- Okay is it really Sunday?
- Saturday.
- Is that really Saturday?
- Oh, Thursday.
- Is that really Thursday,
'cause I think you.
- I mean Tuesday.
- You guessed four other days.
- Turn it over and spell Tuesday.
- Yeah turn it over and
spell Tuesday for me.
The days of the week
thing has let you down.
- Yeah the days of the week
thing is pretty upsetting,
I'd say.
- [Graham] If you don't read,
you'll end up on the street.
