For 2005, the Catholic Bishops of Australia have chosen to address themselves to the challenges that individuals face today in our nation to live out their commitment to be Christians in the midst of a society that is more and more embracing values that are at best unsympathetic to the Good News that Jesus Christ brought to the world and at worst in direct opposition to it. There have been criticisms of the Statement that have accused the Bishops of ignoring the ‘big ticket’ issues. Some have said that the Bishops need to speak out with one voice more strongly on areas like abortion, extreme capitalism, workplace reform, government overseas aid and engagement in conflict.

  • The History of the South Fremantle Football Club
    The History of the South Fremantle Football Club South Fremantle Football Club, nicknamed The Bulldogs, is a semi-professional Australian Rules Football Club and one of nine clubs that compete in the West Australian Football League (WAFL). It was formed in 1900 and has its training, administration and home games at Fremantle Oval. History The Fremantle Football Club (originally known as Unions and unrelated to either an earlier club which actually played rugby as well, or the current AFL club of the same name) had won ten premierships in the fourteen years that they were in the WA Football Association (now known as the West Australian Football League). By 1899, however, the club suffered from financial problems that caused the club to disband. The South Fremantle Football Club was formed to take their place following an application to the league by Griff John, who would be appointed secretary of the new club, with Tom O'Beirne the inaugural president. Most players, however, were from the defunct Fremantle club. The new club did well in its first year, finishing runners-up. However, over the next three seasons the performance fell away badly and, in April 1904 a Fremantle newspaper confidently reported that South Fremantle would not appear again. However, the club decided to carry on and centreman Harry Hodge took over as skipper, but the season was a disaster. The club won only one game. They won their first premiership in 1916 and went back-to-back in 1917, both times defeating their local rivals, East Fremantle in the final and challenge final.

    E-Footy RECORD 17th May 2008 Issue 7 Editorial with Marty King AN HISTORIC AND BUSY TIME FOR EVERYONE IN QUEENSLAND FOOTBALL To say it has been a busy couple of weeks at AFL Queensland would be a massive understate- ment. It’s been quite extraordinary, and quite historic. First, I want to congratulate Tom McArthur on becoming the fi rst Queenslander inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame. Chosen in 2003 as the Umpire in the AFL Queensland Team of the Century, Tom did his State proud when he joined the likes of Kevin Sheedy and Alex Jesaulenko in the AFL spotlight in Melbourne last Thursday week. He spoke with great passion and love for Queensland football, and was a wonderful ambassador for our game. Second, I want to congratulate everyone involved with Community Football last weekend. It was a massive logistical exercise and yet it went off with barely a hitch, and was wonderfully well received by people at all levels of football. It was fantastic to see Queensland AFL players Courtenay Dempsey, Luke McGuane, Ricky Petterd and Ben Hudson fl y from Melbourne to Queensland to join the festivities, and the support we received from the entire Brisbane Lions playing list was fi rst-class. Thirdly, thanks to all who supported another successful Ladies Love AFL Lunch last Friday week at Royal on the Park. A great day was had by all. Special thanks to Lions players Simon Black, Daniel Merrett and Scott Clouston, VIP guests Sam Lukis, Melissa Lambert and Margo Bowers, and Channel 10 hosts Bill McDonald and Georgie Lewis.
