  • The Scriptures Today Invite Us to Open Our Minds and Hearts to the Lavish Love of Our God
    The Scriptures today invite us to open our minds and hearts to the lavish love of our God. When the Israelites asked for food in the desert, God gave them exactly what they needed. Their grumbling didn’t put him off; he fed them with manna and quail. God only asked them to trust in his loving care for them. When crowds of people gathered around Jesus, he not only fed them; he gave them more than they could eat. God’s only desire in both instances was to show his lavish love in such a way that it would move people to trust him with their lives. When the people asked Jesus what they were to do to accomplish the works of God, he gave them a simple answer: believe in the one sent by God – believe in me. Then Jesus identifies himself: I am the bread of life, come down from heaven to give life to the world. All who come to him will never hunger or thirst. All of us believe that Jesus is the bread of life for us. We desire to place our trust and confidence in God’s loving care for us. We have also found that there is a challenge involved in this trusting. The challenge comes in our willingness to embrace God as he is, and not as we might like him to be. Confidence in God’s loving Providence means accepting with our whole being that God will provide for us, but not always as we might want or expect. Hoarfrost on the ground in the early morning was not what the Israelites expected, but it was bread from heaven as God had promised.

[Notices of motions given.] Bills GAS LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (MEDICAL GAS SYSTEMS) BILL 2020 First Reading Bill introduced on motion by Mr Kevin Anderson, read a first time and printed. Second Reading Speech Mr KEVIN ANDERSON (Tamworth—Minister for Better Regulation and Innovation) (12:16:12): I move: That this bill be now read a second time. I am proud to introduce the Gas Legislation Amendment (Medical Gas Systems) Bill 2020. The bill delivers on the New South Wales Government's promise to introduce a robust and effective licensing regulatory system for persons who carry out medical gas work. As I said on 18 June on behalf of the Government in opposing the Hon. Mark Buttigieg's private member's bill, nobody wants to see a tragedy repeated like the one we saw at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital. As I undertook then, the Government has taken the steps necessary to provide a strong, robust licensing framework for those persons installing and working on medical gases in New South Wales. To the families of John Ghanem and Amelia Khan, on behalf of the Government I repeat my commitment that we are taking action to ensure no other families will have to endure as they have. The bill forms a key part of the Government's response to licensed work for medical gases that are supplied in medical facilities in New South Wales.

Those of us who have had the opportunity to work with the superintendent, and to know him well, are going to miss him dearly. Media reports have not captured that Superintendent Griffiths is a capable and competent commander who has always been dedicated to serving the local community. He has done that in his capacity as a superintendent of both the Sutherland Shire Local Area Command and the merged Sutherland Shire Police Area Command over the past six years. I was recently told a story about Superintendent Griffiths which highlights the depth of his care and the lengths that he has gone to for the community. It is about the recent fires in the western part of the shire, in Menai, Alfords Point and Barden Ridge.

    If you are lucky you might find a picture of your house online, either on its own, part of a streetscape or in the background. The State Library of NSW holds this image of Bellevue at Glebe Point, saved more than once from demolition. The photo was taken in 1899 soon after it was built. The occupier is posing for the shot, indicating it’s for a family album. 1 Also digitised by Mitchell Library are Edith Blacket’s sketchbooks. The daughter of architect Edmund Blacket, Edith spent a lot of time walking around Glebe with her pencil and pad. This is The Retreat on Blackwattle Bay, drawn in 1867, a sandstone house still standing. 2 Also held by the SLNSW is this 1872 photo of twin houses in Derwent Street.

  • Mayhem on Broadway Or Sharing the Pain
    C • Bay St. Mountain St. +- \ \ I> ::, m The Broadway Shopping Centre Mayhem on Broadway or sharing the pain raffic flow around The Broadway Shopping Centre continues to be a major · Tconcern. Leichhardt Council provided an extensive submission about Francis Street to the RTA and South Sydney Council made a similar submission. The latest report is that the RTA has decided to "share the pain" between the two Councils and Leichhardt Council is awaiting formal notification that Francis Street is to be opened to two-way traffic with left turns both into and out of Glebe Point Road. The key to the RTA's decision lies at the Mountain/ Broadway intersection. The RTA felt Council's suggestion to introduce two right rurn lanes from Mountain Street into Broadway was not achievable because of: • insufficient room for heavy vehicles turning out of Mountain Street; • inability to change the traffic light phasing at Mountain Street (involving more right turn green time) without congesting the City Road/ Broadway intersection; and • pedestrian demand being for the pedestrian crossing on the west side of Mountain Street. It was believed that if forced to cross Broadway on the east side, pedestrians would only cause more conflict when crossing back from the east side to the west side of Mountain Street. The RTA has, however, concurred with other Council suggestions such as: • traffic light phasing improvements at the carpark/ Bay/ Smail Streets intersection [Smail connects carparkexit to Mountain Street]; • larger pedestrian lanterns; • traffic priority change at the Smail/ Mountain Street intersection; • internal carpark changes; and • staggering cinema finishing times etc.
