Just a quick post today. In my last email I talked about the Baptist minister, Matt Glover, who lost his job for publically supporting Marriage Equality. Well, about the time I was writing that the Archbishop of Perth was declaring – on national TV and on-line – that the rise in non-traditional families was responsible for an increase in child neglect and abuse. Hmm…that’s what I thought.
So, after ranting and raving at Sarah for a bit and generally stropping around the house, I wrote an article. The Punch (a great on-line news and opinion magazine) is running it today. Here’s the link:
I know I’m preaching to the converted here, but if there’s anyone you know who needs a little converting themselves, please forward. Thanks.
And in other news…Josh Frydenberg and Change.org
The petition is jogging along nicely. Every time I check there are a few more signatures which is great and we are getting closer to 200 every day. Thanks to everyone who has signed so far. If you haven’t had the chance yet, or if you know anyone else in *Kooyong, here’s the link.
*Kooyong includes: Kew, Kew East, Hawthorn, Hawthorn East, Balwyn, Balwyn North, Canterbury, Camberwell and (part of) Surrey Hills.
And, finally, a big welcome to all the new Kooyong people. I’ve added you to my mailing list and I hope that’s okay. If you don’t want to be on it, you can just unsubscribe below. Thanks for all your great support so far.
Cheers,
Thanks for listening,
