@DrCraigEmerson Craig I agree with you . Extremism on the left or on the right is not good . Leadership is about finding a middle path and bringing your people with you .
@RichRaho Beyond belief! Thank God that our Holy Father ( and others ) are speaking strongly about human dignity and Catholic Social Teaching . The Pope’s leadership is needed more than ever right now as we join him around the world calling for and praying for peace .
One of the consequences of this war is that some people around the world will truly believe that the Jesus Christ of ALL Christians is the one of Trump, Hegseth, Vance, Mike Johnson, and the circus of preachers around the White House.
Hanson partially backtracks on ‘no good Muslims’ claim - AAP - Australian Associated Press . The Senator’s antics in the Senate were a disgrace as are her latest inaccurate comments about Muslims . https://t.co/KcIGenEs1S
These words as reported are very dangerous and misleading . Politicians of all political persuasions have a responsibility to bring Australians together. I fear that this intervention will do the opposite.
One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has questioned the existence of "good Muslims" in an extraordinary rant on Sky News.
Hanson, whose party is experiencing an extraordinary surge in opinion polls, spoke with host Sharri Markson and delivered a spray that was later walked back by Markson herself.
"They [Muslims] hate Westerners," Hanson said, "That's what it's all about. You say there's great Muslims out there, well I'm sorry, how can you tell me there are good Muslims?"
Markson attempted to immediately clarify Hanson's comments before later stating that "as an Australian Jew, I don't support what (she) just said."
Hanson has this morning doubled down on her comments, claiming on social media that "I guess they [the media] aren't used to hearing a politician tell the truth."
I wrote this pastoral letter last year as the anti immigration mantra was building up .Given that the same voices from some of our politicians continue today I felt it timely to again offer a word of balance +Tim

The optics are diabolical, as chaos reigns on a supposed day of mourning - ABC News. How sad that on a day of mourning the so called “ conservative political parties” can’t seem to be able to work together and stand as ONE .

As the world prepares to embrace 2026 I can only pray that a world at war becomes a world at peace . We collectively cannot sustain this present madness . Human beings were not made for this . +Tim
🚨Zelensky: I’m ready for any format of a meeting with Putin
“I’m not afraid.
The main thing is that the Russians aren’t afraid,”
the Ukrainian president said.
@NCRonline Deeply concerning that some Catholics dismiss Catholic social teaching . Are there not references to “ Cafeteria Catholics” who pick the things they like and reject the things they don’t .
The Catholic Church stands with migrants . In light of several anti immigration marches across Australia including here in Townsville I commend the words of Archbishop Prowse …. to become a” better ,more hospitable Australia “ . https://t.co/1tyr4PcV5C
