Linda Farrar is a pharmacy assistant in Campbelltown who thinks John Howard is about to make life harder for Christian mums.
The mother of two and member of St Thomas', Narellan is among the hundreds of thousands of workers protesting the Federal Government's Industrial Relations reforms.
A few months ago Mrs Farrar applied for a job where she was asked to sign an Australian Workplace Agreement, or AGA, an employee contract that, under the changes, will replace the awards system.
"The conditions they were offering with the AWA put me off pursuing the job," Mrs Farrar reflects.
"The fine print said giving notice for resigning had to be significant, yet they could get rid of you at a moment's notice. I didn't think it was very fair.
"The position I have now is permanent part-time so I don't have that fear, but it's the first permanent position I have had in years."
She devotes Sunday to her husband, her teenagers and going to church. But she is worried about losing such precious family time.
"With the [proposals], I would not feel as secure if I wasn't employed as I am now. I haven't had to work Sundays often and it is the only time my husband and I have together. We could lose any leverage we might have had and lose our jobs if we don't agree to all the things our bosses ask."
She is not alone. Union and church leaders agree that Christians must fight to stop the government from making Sunday a thing of the past.
The Archbishop of Sydney, Dr Peter Jensen, released a statement last month, saying Sunday as a time for rest and family "must always be a priority for our nation' and its erosion is a matter of concern for Christians.
"As this legislation comes out, I'll be looking to ask the question "does it encroach on the weekend?" he told the ABC.
NSW Unions Secretary, John Robertson said churches are at the forefront of the protest because they can see how the proposals will undermine family relationships, marriage and even Sunday worship.
At a protest last month he said church leaders were telling him of cases where people have been forced to work on Sundays when they wanted to attend church.
The Minister for Workplace Relations, Kevin Andrews told the ABC that 725,000 AWAs have been entered into in recent years and surveys show workers are more satisfied with their pay and conditions under the new arrangements.
"They feel they're better rewarded for their efforts," he said.
