Message from our Bishop: QUEENSLAND BISHOPS ELECTION STATEMENT
With the upcoming election in Queensland, the bishops in our state have released a joint statement encouraging the faithful to engage in our political process with an open heart, avoiding misinformation.
At a time when democracy is under pressure in many parts of the world, things in Queensland don’t look too bad. Every four years we, as free and equal citizens, get to vote for the person in the area where we live who we think will best represent us in the state parliament. Everyone votes and every vote counts in our full preferential voting system. Once the vote is done, the result is accepted by all and things move on peaceably.
