Thank you to those who’ve passed on your regards concerning Lyle’s recovery from emergency surgery last week. He’s now out of hospital and at home. We expect him to be back at the office early July.
After today there is just one week left of federal parliament before the election and there’s plenty of activity in the chambers. Last night news broke about Democratic Labor Party Senator John Madigan’s plan to introduce a bill to have a referendum on marriage as being between a man and a woman. The ACL welcomes this move.
Also, we’re pleased to report that in parliament today the Greens’ bill to recognise overseas same-sex marriage was defeated 44 to 28 in the Senate. Proponents of redefining marriage continue to pursue a legislation by fatigue approach on the issue.
For our Queensland supporters, we encourage you to make a submission to the inquiry into outdoor advertising which is due next Monday the 24th of June. You can read more about this issue in enews today.
Politics is an endless process and as Christians we need encouragement as we engage. You’ll see a Centre for Public Christianity interview with Dr Vishal Mangalwadi (he was an 2011 ACL conference speaker) below that should encourage you as you continue to engage in the political process.
Blessings
Nick Overton
Acting Managing Director
