In response to Albo's decision will follow him into the history books and define us too

Albo's mother's bed

Anthony Albanese was born in 1963. That was a hard time for a young unmarried woman to find herself unexpectedly pregnant, especially if she was Catholic. His mother was probably pressured by the nuns to give up her baby for adoption. But she didn’t – she had made her bed, and she lay on it. She kept him - and he became Prime Minister of Australia.

What would his mother think now, of his refusal to give 23 little Australians a chance in life like he had, and their mothers a chance to redeem themselves with love?

Time is of the essence now with the coming conflagration in the Middle East – change your mind Albo, and let them come home.
