The Baptism of Jesus

Just a few thoughts

·         Honesty and transparency/openness are absolutely essential in democratic governance. Without those factors there will be no trust. Let us pray for and insist on honesty and transparency in governance so that the common good is always the main focus of our leaders.

·         Yesterday I posed the question, “Are we in Australia on a similar pathway?” This related to the unbelievable events in USA and the involvement of Catholic leaders.
Today I was struck by 2 specific articles in the Australian main media. The first article clearly illustrated the serious problems we have within the membership of our federal government.
The second was an article in our local Murdoch outlet blaming social media for all our problems, when that same Murdoch organisation persistently echoed and promoted those same crazy opinions. The hypocrisy is astounding.
