I am a Minister of the Uniting Church in Australia and serve as the the National Director of UnitingJustice Australia, the Church’s national justice policy and advocacy unit. I am also Chair of the Commission responsible for Act for Peace, the international aid agency of the National Council of Churches in Australia. I am a member of the Commission of the Churches on International Affairs, one of the four advisory bodies of the World Council of Churches.
I am trying hard to post more often but it’s hard… sigh!

Great blog– just tipping off a new campaign that might be neat to blog about (and a different side of human rights.)
Virgin Unite, the non-profit arm of the Virgin Group, announced yesterday it’s campaign to end youth homelessness in Australia. The campaign includes an online petition which can be signed by the general public and a story telling opportunity for young homeless youth to voice their experiences.
The website is great and people have been signing the petition like mad- what a great way to spread the message then on social media- I’ve passed it along on my blog, and asked people to sign and continue passing! Let’s get the human rights for all Australian kids guarenteed.
