COLLECT FOR PURITY Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hidden: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy name, through Christ our Lord. Amen. KYRIE ELEISON Lord have mercy. Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy. Christ have mercy. Lord have mercy. Lord have mercy. CONFESSION Let us confess our sins in penitence and faith, with a sincere and a true heart. Merciful God, our maker and our judge, we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, and in what we have failed to do: we have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves; we repent, and are sorry for all our sins. Father, forgive us. Strengthen us to love and obey you in newness of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ABSOLUTION pronounced by the celebrant COLLECT FOR THE THIRD SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST Lord, we beseech you to keep your family, the Church, in continual godliness, that through your protection it may be free from all adversities, 3 and devoutly given to serve you in good works, to the glory of your name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. THE LITURGY OF THE WORD THE FIRST READING 1 Samuel 15.34 - 16.13 4Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house in Gibeah of Saul. 35Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death, but Samuel grieved over Saul. And the Lord was sorry that he had made Saul king over Israel. 1The Lord said to Samuel, ‘How long will you grieve over Saul? I have rejected him from being king over Israel. Fill your horn with oil and set out; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided for myself a king among his sons.’ 2Samuel said, ‘How can I go? If Saul hears of it, he will kill me.’ And the Lord said, ‘Take a heifer with you, and say, “I have come to sacrifice to the Lord .” 3Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do; and you shall anoint for me the one whom I name to you.’ 4Samuel did what the Lord commanded, and came to Bethlehem. The elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and said, ‘Do you come peaceably?’ 5He said, ‘Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord ; sanctify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.’ And he sanctified Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice. 6When they came, he looked on Eliab and thought, ‘Surely the Lord ’s anointed is now before the Lord .’ 7But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for the Lord does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.’ 8Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. He said, ‘Neither has the Lord chosen this one.’ 9 Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, ‘Neither has the Lord chosen this one.’ 10 Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel, and Samuel said to Jesse, ‘The Lord has not chosen any of these.’ 11 Samuel said to Jesse, ‘Are all your sons here?’ And he said, ‘There remains yet the youngest, but he is keeping the sheep.’ And Samuel said to Jesse, ‘Send and bring him; for we will not sit down until he comes here.’ 12 He sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and had beautiful eyes, and was handsome. The Lord said, ‘Rise and anoint him; for this is the one.’ 13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the presence of his brothers; and the spirit of the 4 Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward. Samuel then set out and went to Ramah. Hear the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. THE PSALM Psalm 20, said together 1 May the Lord hear you in the day of trouble: the God of Jacob lift you up to safety. 2 May he send you his help from the sanctuary: and be your strong support from Zion. 3 May he remember all your offerings: and accept with favour your burnt sacrifices, 4 Grant you your heart’s desire: and fulfil all your purposes. 5 May we also rejoice in your victory and triumph in the name of our God: the Lord perform all your petitions. 6 Now I know that the Lord will save his anointed: that he will answer him from his holy heaven with the victorious strength of his right hand. 7 Some put their trust in chariots and some in horses: but we will trust in the name of the Lord our God. 8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are made strong and stand upright. 9 O Lord, save the king: and hear us when we call upon you. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. THE SECOND READING 2 Corinthians 5.6-10; 14-17 6So we are always confident; even though we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord— 7for we walk by faith, not by sight. 8Yes, we do have confidence, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. 10For all of us must appear before the judgement seat of Christ, so that each may receive recompense for what has been done in the body, whether good or evil. 14For the love of Christ urges us on, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore 5 all have died. 15And he died for all, so that those who live might live no longer for themselves, but for him who died and was raised for them. 16From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view, we know him no longer in that way. 17So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! Hear the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. THE GOSPEL Mark 4.26-34 The Lord be with you. And also with you. The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to St. John. Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ. 26He also said, ‘The kingdom of God is as if someone would scatter seed on the ground, 27and would sleep and rise night and day, and the seed would sprout and grow, he does not know how. 28The earth produces of itself, first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head.

  • House, Government and Opposition
    2 House, Government and Opposition A knowledge of the structure of the House of Representatives is important to an understanding of its mode of operation. The components or groups which make up the House and which are described in the text that follows are common to most parliamentary systems based on the Westminster model. The relationship and interaction between these components is at the heart of parliamentary activity. The nature of the relationships between the groups largely determines the operational effectiveness of the Parliament, particularly in relation to the Executive Government. GOVERNMENT AND PARLIAMENT Relationships The relationship between the groups is governed by a combination of constitutional provisions, convention and political reality, which can be simplified as follows: Members are individually elected to represent constituents within each electoral division and collectively form the House of Representatives.1 In most cases Members belong to and support a particular political party. The party (or parties2) having the support of the majority of Members becomes the government party. The party (or parties) opposed to the party supporting the government forms the ‘official’ Opposition. The party having the support of the majority of Members elects one of its members as leader, who is commissioned by the Governor-General as Prime Minister to form a Government. The party supporting the Government may elect,3 or the Prime Minister may appoint, a specified number of its members to be Ministers of State (the Ministry) who form the Federal Executive Council (the body which, in a formal sense, advises the Governor-General in the executive government of the Commonwealth) and who administer the Departments of State of the Commonwealth.

To coincide with the establishment of the Network, I wrote the following article for The Conversation. With review by the Commonwealth Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters of the recent federal election pending and changes in electoral laws such as electronic voting and the regulation of political finance being mooted, this article might provide a useful perspective on the role of the Network in the public debate on Australia’s electoral democracy. The benefits of deliberation in the political process Originally published on The Conversation, 2 May 2012 Is there a role for deliberation about electoral rules? puzzling is that Australia’s electoral system does, in key respects, provide for “free and fair elections”. For many, the answer would be “no”. For them, the notion of principled discussion informed by careful Is it all a sham? reflection is deeply incongruous with the grubby practice of politics. Take two examples for which Australia is internationally renowned: first, the secret ballot Politics, so they would say, is centred on the pursuit – known internationally as the “Australian ballot’” of political power.
