I leave tomorrow for a two week speaking tour of Australia arguing against legalizing assisted suicide and warning about culture of death issues generally. Right to Life Australia will have the details of where and when I’ll be speaking , but here are the cities and dates of my appearances:
Thursday July 8th - Brisbane
Friday July 9th -11 - Melbourne
Monday July 12th - Hobart
Tuesday July 13th - Adelaide
Thursday July 15th - Perth
Friday July 17th - Sydney
This is my second time to OZ, the last being in August of 2001, just before things got very serious in the world. My work and vacations have taken me a lot of places, and I’ve really enjoyed most of them. But I have to say that Australia is one of the most user friendly countries I have ever experienced. I am really looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones—hopefully some SHSers!
There will be a short pause here as I make final preparations and fly—and fly—and fly. But don’t wander off: I’ll keep up with my SHS duties whilst Down Under.
In the meantime, no worries, mates!
