More on Australias Marriage Tax

So I have recently received a response for further information to the Gillard Governments announcement of an Australian Marriage Tax (aka Professional Celebrants Fee).

It is rather disspointing. There really is no information.
Further reference to the "extensive and close" consultation, adequate resourcing and enforcement were all used as justification for the introduction of the fee.

The AG Department as still no indicating any direction or clear policy on what direction they expect to go with this new fee. This Marriage Tax.

Why School chaplains are so important

So recently my youngest child went through a lengthy period of bullying - without us knowing. It esculated to a point that involved weapons and he is only 9.

We immediately notified the school and district office.

Pm Day 1 - I Discover the situation

Lunchtime Day 2 - Call from guidance officer

PM Day 2 - Speak with teacher

Summary of day 2 - advised "bigger problem" discovered within the grade with systemic bullying by a particular group.

Becoming a Marriage Celebrant and Travelling Overseas Plus a new hobby

So just over a month ago Katy and I got back from 6 weeks in enigmatic Bali. It is such a beautiful place. Stunning weather, amasing and friendly people. Every time we have to come home it gets harder and harder.

We were there for our 6 Weeks to celebrate our 10year anniversary. What a rush that was. We had afull traditional balinese wedding. One of the families we know offered us their family temple and we had members of the family from all over the island come and help with the ceremony. It truely was an amasing experience and something I will never forget.
