Waiting for Malcolm : Comments

By Syd Hickman, published 12/2/2015

The ALP geniuses cheered at Abbott's survival but it would be in their interests to get Malcolm up as soon as possible so as to have the maximum time and this coming budget for their attacks.

Ojnab/Banjo, the reason Julie says the Lord's prayer is because she believes it, as is her right! You may disagree, but you do not have the right to stop her.

Jon R it is only a tradition with the Government, I do not think by waffling through the Lord's Prayer that many would and act accordingly in Parliament to its message. Humpty Dumpty might be more suitably recited by the speaker, we are fast becoming a Secular nation and like change it should go, the only good thing is it costs nothing to say.
Atheism gets no tax benefits from the Government, but some like atheist Bill Gates (Microsoft) pour millions of dollars to help the underprivileged in countries around the world.

ojnab, some Christians and other believers give a huge amount to charity too.

I'm an atheist and I donate approximately 2% of my income to charity, which isn't much at the moment, because I rely on Austudy and Family Tax benefit, but the Royal children's Hospital gets $20 a month and so does Khan Academy, which you may not have heard of, but is a great initiative to make high quality educational resources available free online.

What percentage of your income do you donate?

Craig Minns I donate nothing now as most charities do not receive all the benefits from donations, administration receives a lot of your generosity, you must realise that.
Craig during my life I have always been a volunteer with various organisations, mainly St John Ambulance , driver and attendant, and Kiwanis Club.
I also feel I do not have to tell you about whether or not I donate to anything, that is my business, I do not as stated, now perhaps you can sleep at night without worrying.
Have a great day

ojnab, you're the one who brought the subject up.

Apparently you've now changed your mind, which is entirely your right. Perhaps though, you would have been better to think before you posted?
