Letter to
the Editor
An Open
Letter to the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition.
In our
collective living memories it is a rare occurrence that both people vying for
Office are regular Church going Christians.
It is extraordinary to us as
practising Christians and a matter of shame therefore, that both of you are
determined to win office by continuing cruel, oppressive and wasteful policies
towards the Aboriginal and Islander First Peoples, towards desperate Refugees
and Asylum Seekers, and also by
deliberate disregard for the perilous state of the Earth under global warming.
It’s incredible to us that whoever wins
Government, from the lofty heights of membership of the UN Security Council,
Australia will be pointing out human rights abuses in other countries.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto
you.’(Matthew 7/12 )
‘Welcome the stranger.’ (Matthew 25/36) ‘
‘Take care of the Earth ’(Genesis
2/16)
We don’t
think so.

This blog does not take Anonymous comments. Experience shows that comments cluttered with "Anonymous" are boring and people don't know whether "Anonymous" is one person or many. This is not a decision about freedom of speech. It is a decision about boring or unwillingness to be known by even a pseudonym.
