A senior pastor and his church have been accused of failing to disclose to the congregation a youth group leader’s nearly decade-long reign of child sex abuse, while the regulatory body in charge of investigating child abuse is alleged to have dismissed a complaint due to links to the church. The claims, aired in parliament on Thursday by NSW Greens MP Sue Higginson, involved senior members of Maitland Evangelical Church. The allegations include a separate cover-up involving the abuse of a teenage girl in year 8 by a second offender. Pastor Steven Doust (left) and Pastor Roger Burgess were accused in parliament of covering up child sex abuse. Pastor Steven Doust (left) and Pastor Roger Burgess were accused in parliament of covering up child sex abuse.Credit:Maitland Evangelical Church “The victims and their families, as well as the wider community, have been failed by the lack of transparency from the leadership,” Higginson said in parliament. Youth group leader Matthew Briggs was an “identified paedophile” with at least three victims between the ages of seven and 14. He frequently hosted sleepovers at his home for children from the church, Higginson said. Briggs is now deceased. Pastor Roger Burgess, then a senior minister at the church, became aware of Briggs’ crimes immediately after his death. However, instead of informing the 500-member congregation, he told only a few attendees that Briggs had committed “extreme domestic violence”, Higginson said. Burgess and Pastor Steven Doust also covered up the sexual abuse of the teenage girl, parliament heard. When whistleblower and former congregation member Phil Bear publicly raised allegations about Briggs, he was demonised by Burgess, parliament heard. Parliament also heard that, having learnt Burgess was set to be promoted to the national president of the Fellowship of Evangelical Churches in 2023, Bear wrote a complaint to the church oversight body. The fellowship declined to investigate. Advertisement B…

Fuck around and find out?
Neo-Nazi who rallied outside parliament taken into Villawood detention centre A neo-Nazi who took part in an anti-Jewish protest outside NSW Parliament has been taken into immigration detention ahead of his looming deportation back to his native South Africa. At the same time, Australia Post says it is investigating whether one of its employees – a regional delivery manager – was among the 60-odd members of the National Socialist Network involved in the rally.

Do they understand what it costs us taxpayers now- just on subsides?
In the 2023-24 financial year, Australian governments provided an estimated $14.5 billion in subsidies to fossil fuel companies. This figure is a 31% increase from the previous year and includes federal and state support, with the Fuel Tax Credit Scheme being a major contributor. Total value: The total value of subsidies in 2023-24 was approximately $14.5 billion. Increase from prior year: This represents a significant increase of 31% from the $11.1 billion in subsidies provided in 2022-23. Federal subsidies: A large portion of these subsidies comes from the federal government, primarily through the Fuel Tax Credit Scheme, which allows businesses to claim a tax credit for fuel used in machinery and some vehicles. State and territory subsidies: State and territory governments also contributed through measures like infrastructure assistance and research and development grants. Additional financial year data: 2022-23: Total subsidies were $11.1 billion. 2021-22: Total subsidies were estimated at $11.6 billion

I had to look it up.
Such bitter irony
The phrase "nothing human is foreign to me" is a translation of the Latin quote "Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto" from the Roman playwright Terence's 165 BCE play, Heauton Timorumenos. It means that, as a human, one can and should understand and empathize with all aspects of human experience, as nothing human should be considered strange or alien. The sentiment is often linked to universal empathy and the idea that all people are fundamentally connected. Origin: The quote comes from Roman playwright Terence (Publius Terentius Afer), specifically from his play The Self-Tormentor. In the play, a character uses it to justify his concern for another person's affairs. Meaning: The phrase supports the belief that one should be able to comprehend and relate to all of humanity, including its joys, sorrows, flaws, and virtues. It suggests that by recognizing shared humanity, empathy and understanding for others can be cultivated. Modern usage: The quote has been popularized by many, including Maya Angelou, who used it to emphasize the importance of recognizing shared human potential and vulnerability, regardless of a person's actions or circumstances. It is often used in discussions about empathy, mental health, and understanding different perspectives. A common misattribution: The quote is often linked to figures like Michel de Montaigne, who engraved it in his study, but the original source remains Terence

Shame on Labor- a lifelong voter but no more, my vote goes to Independents I respect and who are not hostage to the fossil fuel industry.

This exemplifies all that is wrong with 'for profit' aged care.
Aged care 'veteran'??
I choked on my tea reading that.

Note that his firm Allity ran the Henry Kendall aged care (now closed) When audited it met only 11 of the 44 expected outcomes of the Accreditation Standards.
Absolutely obscene

2 weeks later ASIO finds Iran is the culprit for attacks on Jewish property in Oz
We are a long way from Iran, a small country with minimal significance to Iran, so why?
Could Mossad be the source of this intel?
So many coincidences & questions

I put it down to
1 changing attitudes
2 cheap fast clothes made with fabric that does not hold its shape
3 the rise of the t shirt which was once an under garment- made popular by actors like Brando & James Dean

These 3 headlines point to the lack of relevance of the LIB/NATS in 2025 and hereon.

If they don't modernise they will become a fringe party & lack the power to be a much needed affective opposition
