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. -
12 November 2020 – New Lambton Public School
PARLIAMENT OF NEW SOUTH WALES LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY FIRST SESSION OF THE FIFTY-SEVENTH PARLIAMENT Motion ___________ 12 November 2020 NEW LAMBTON PUBLIC SCHOOL Ms SONIA HORNERY (Wallsend) (12:05:46): That this House: (1) Notes a recent change to the intake boundary of New Lambton Public School will see six streets very close to the school and four students excluded from attending the school. (2) Notes 68 families attending the school live outside the catchment area. (3) Calls on the Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning to change the boundaries to include these six streets. There is no denying that New Lambton Public School is above capacity. Last year I met with Federation of Parents and Citizens Associations of NSW representatives and wrote to the Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning requesting action to reduce enrolment numbers. As a result of that action, the department changed enrolment boundaries. But in June this year the education department changed the boundaries without any proper community consultation. An online survey asked for feedback. The problem was that the Sydney‑centric generated consultation was only shared with the current school community. No attempt was made to make parents who live in the streets that were proposed to change aware of the survey. Does that make sense? No. My office was informed of the survey just 24 hours before it was due to close. The survey was extended after our intervention. Thankfully, my office and a group of dedicated parents made contact with as many residents as possible, giving them an opportunity to have their say. -

The Hon Gladys Berejiklian MP Premier Parliament House SYDNEY NSW 2000 Dear Premier, Report – NSW Bushfire Inquiry In January 2020 you announced the establishment of the NSW Bushfire Inquiry, noting it was to be completed by 31 July 2020. We now submit the final report of that Inquiry. The 2019-20 bush fires were some of the worst in the world and in recorded history. The Inquiry has worked to understand what happened during the 2019-20 bush fire season and how it was different to seasons that have come before. It makes 76 recommendations for future improvements to how NSW plans and prepares for, and responds to, bush fires. Some of these recommendations are for immediate action; others for actions that need to start now but will take some time to complete. Noting the breadth of the Inquiry’s Terms of Reference, the recommendations range from improvements to operational systems and processes through to significant research and strategic policy frameworks that require further development and consultation with key stakeholders. In presenting this final report we wish to acknowledge the assistance of many people – those who took the time to write submissions or talk to the Inquiry; the NSW fire agencies; colleagues from government departments in NSW and other jurisdictions; colleagues in industry, research organisations, and professional associations; and the Secretariat and Advisors to the Inquiry drawn from several government departments who worked hard to help us make sense of a complex matter. -

Leading � rec�very Annual Report 2019–2020 TARONGA ANNUAL REPORT 2019–2020 A SHARED FUTURE � WILDLIFE AND PE�PLE At Taronga we believe that together we can find a better and more sustainable way for wildlife and people to share this planet. Taronga recognises that the planet’s biodiversity and ecosystems are the life support systems for our own species' health and prosperity. At no time in history has this been more evident, with drought, bushfires, climate change, global pandemics, habitat destruction, ocean acidification and many other crises threatening natural systems and our own future. Whilst we cannot tackle these challenges alone, Taronga is acting now and working to save species, sustain robust ecosystems, provide experiences and create learning opportunities so that we act together. We believe that all of us have a responsibility to protect the world’s precious wildlife, not just for us in our lifetimes, but for generations into the future. Our Zoos create experiences that delight and inspire lasting connections between people and wildlife. We aim to create conservation advocates that value wildlife, speak up for nature and take action to help create a future where both people and wildlife thrive. Our conservation breeding programs for threatened and priority wildlife help a myriad of species, with our program for 11 Legacy Species representing an increased commitment to six Australian and five Sumatran species at risk of extinction. The Koala was added as an 11th Legacy Species in 2019, to reflect increasing threats to its survival. In the last 12 months alone, Taronga partnered with 28 organisations working on the front line of conservation across 17 countries. -
