Today’s High Court decision striking down the funding model for school chaplaincy is a disappointing day for the school communities across the nation which value the work of school chaplains. Read more. The ACL will continue to advocate for the program to ensure an appropriate funding model can be adopted by government so school communities can benefit from the support of a school chaplain. It’s encouraging to see so many people respond quickly to the Preserving Marriage Campaign ACL launched last week. If you haven’t signed the submission opposing the bill to recognise overseas same-sex marriages, please do today. This week in parliament some departing Senators have given their valedictory speeches including Queensland Senator Ron Boswell who’s served for more than 30 years. ACL’s Managing Director Lyle Shelton writes about the Nationals’ senator in his blog post. The application date for the next intake of the Lachlan Macquarie Internship has been extended till next Friday the 27th of June. However, places are filling up with only four spots left.
