Sixth Sunday of Easter Wishing All Mothers a Very Happy and a Blessed Mother's St Paul’s Geelong , 9th May 2021 Sixth Sunday of Easter 8:00 AM EUCHARIST;10:30AM CHORAL EUCHARIST, apba p. 119 The Sixth Sunday of Easter – Sunday 9 May 2021 Acts 10.44-48; Psalm 98;1 John 5.1-12; John 15.9-17 or John 16.16-24 We are exhorted by the Psalmist today to sing to the Lord a new song: for he has done marvellous things. If you were to examine your life what things would you describe as marvellous ones that God has done for you? What about in your parish? In our city? In Australia? We’re reminded to look for the blessings in our lives. Perhaps today’s the day to begin a gratitude diary, to help you focus on where God has been blessing you and the wider community. Thank God for every mercy and grace, blessing us beyond all measure Give thanks for the work and witness of the Church of Ceylon.

  • Liberal Nationals Released a Plan
    COVID-19 RESPONSE May 2020 michaelobrien.com.au COVID-19 RESPONSE Dear fellow Victorians, By working with the State and Federal Governments, we have all achieved an extraordinary outcome in supressing COVID-19 that makes Victoria – and Australia - the envy of the world. We appreciate everyone who has contributed to this achievement, especially our essential workers. You have our sincere thanks. This achievement, however, has come at a significant cost to our local economy, our community and to our way of life. With COVID-19 now apparently under a measure of control, it is urgent that the Andrews Labor Government puts in place a clear plan that enables us to take back our Michael O’Brien MP lives and rebuild our local communities. Liberal Leader Many hard lessons have been learnt from the virus outbreak; we now need to take action to deal with these shortcomings, such as our relative lack of local manufacturing capacity. The Liberals and Nationals have worked constructively during the virus pandemic to provide positive suggestions, and to hold the Andrews Government to account for its actions. In that same constructive manner we have prepared this Plan: our positive suggestions about what we believe should be the key priorities for the Government in the recovery phase. This is not a plan for the next election; Victorians can’t afford to wait that long. This is our Plan for immediate action by the Andrews Labor Government so that Victoria can rebuild from the damage done by COVID-19 to our jobs, our communities and our lives. These suggestions are necessarily bold and ambitious, because we don’t believe that business as usual is going to be enough to secure our recovery.

  • The Tragi-Comedy That Was the Victorian Parliament's Upper House Debate of Sex Self-ID
    The tragi-comedy that was the Victorian Parliament’s Upper House debate of sex self-ID [Posted to Medium 29th August 2019]. [This is a copy of my recent thread for Twitter, covering the debate in the Upper House over the Victorian Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Amendment Bill 2019. I’ve reorganized it so it tracks the right times and edited lightly to remove confusing time references (for Twitter I started after the dinner break and then went back to the beginning). You can read the full transcript here[1]]. First up is Edward O’Donohue. Coalition opposes the bill. Says that bill goes further than the UK and many other jurisdictions in having simple statutory declaration of belief as test for change of sex. (Rather than e.g. clinical intervention). Bill states no change can be obtained for fraudulent or improper purposes, but that change can be processed online or over the phone [so how will those processing the application know]. Additional test for sex offenders is welcome, but language ill-defined. Coalition’s issues/concerns: 1) birth certificate is record of sex at birth. History of birth certificates establishes this. Gender identity already protected under Equal Opportunity (EO) Act. Suggests we should be using the EO to protect against discrimination. 2) lack of consultation. Opponents have said bill is similar to 2016 attempt, so has been ‘in community’ (for consultation!) for three years! [LOL WHAT]. O’Donohue says this is naive — 99.9% of Victorians not aware of bill. Govt. should have consulted women. Quotes Foley saying feminist concerns are “misplaced and wrong”.

  • ABALINX ENEWS LETTER 12 Liberal Party of Australia (Victorian Division)
    ABALINX NEWSLETTER 1. This is the first of many newsletters yet to come. The information provided is only as good as the sources who provide it and even then one must be cautious when taking such news on board. Today in the world of technology where Artificial Intelligence reigns supreme it is difficult to separate the truth from fiction and vice versa. Yet we shall try to remain as factual as much as possible. WHAT HAPPENED TO KARINA OKOTEL? While I have always found her charming, invigorating, informative and very engaging; the once rising star Karina Okotel has disappeared from political view. Members are asking questions why is she is absent. Has her political that her star has dimmed, fallen or extinguished? I am told by senior Conservatives that nationally Karina had lost their support. In fact it is alleged that she had run around visiting the offices of Senators attempting to gain their support. What in fact happened was that all of the Senators being pursued abandoned her before the Federal ballot and carried only support from twenty dissident members. Some are even saying that Karina has been dealt a political snub and has been ostracised from the Liberal Party for her disloyal political behaviour. Now others in the so called know are using innuendoes, gossip, whispers to accuse her of alleged disloyalty after all her good work. It has been alleged that Karina actively worked against the past President Michael Kroger and undermined him rather than working with him. But I ask myself whether this is mere scuttlebutt and misinformation or is there more to her disappearing from the political scene.
