THE GAZA STRIP
This occupation dooms us to what we are seeing
The violent tragedy unfolding in Israel/Palestine is a vile stain on successive Israeli governments and the Palestinian Authority, compounded by Hamas, whose refusal to recognise the reality of Israel is an act of wilful, obsessive and destructive blindness.
Even in our local Jewish and Muslim communities, the pain, anger and fear we feel for our sisters and brothers in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, render us unable to empathise with the same emotions experienced by the other. This is not to equate the suffering on each side, simply to acknowledge it.
Dedicated care and love but with little reward

AGED CARE
Dedicated care and love but with little reward
Last week my wife, who is in aged care, messed herself while trying to sit on the toilet. A carer was called and I watched as the young woman bagged the clothes, with kind words calmed my wife, washed her and then dressed her in clean clothes. The bathroom had to be washed down. Throughout this unpleasant job, the woman – from a foreign country and on the lowest pay – did her work cheerfully and with great compassion.
