Abbott to reduce Marine Protected Areas if Elected !

This is disgusting! It seems silly politically and could be disastrous environmentally. We need to protest this.

And what is with the media stunt of gutting a fish for cameras? What is it about people and fish... why do our ethics always seem to go out the window around them? I can't imagine a political leader gutting a cow for the cameras!

See: http://www.abc.net.au/rural/news/content/201007/s2966304.htm

and the Australian Marine Conservation Society's response:

Important Lessons from the Bible

Why Jesus came:
"that the world might be saved through him"
John 3:17

Who Jesus is going to use to save the world:
"For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God."
Romans 8:19

Our role on earth:
"The LORD God put the man in the Garden of Eden to take care of it and to look after it."
Genesis 2:15

The Five Pillars of A Christian Theology of Sustainability

1. God is the creator, sustainer and redeemer of creation.

2. Covenantal Stewardship (we have a covenant with God as stewards of the earth).

3. The creation-fall-redemption paradigm (God made a good world; human failure broke the relationships between god, man and creation; Christ provides hope for all creation).

4.Bodily resurrection(we will rise with bodies, not as spirits)

5.New Creation (a new Heaven and new Earth refers to a renewal and an earthing of heaven, not starting over).
