URGENT!! Need for new place 4 LOOPHOLE


LOOPHOLE   is a great little community centre
                   @ 670 High Street, Thornbury  ....

                    ....    DESPERATELY SEEKING A HOME


Loophole  ////     vibrant,  independent  and  self-managed



Loophole  ////     a  meeting  place



      Among other activities, there are film screenings, bicycle repairs,
     internet cafe and permaculture garden

On Sundays, Food-Not-Bombs (captained by irrepressible Christopher Rust) cooks up a free-or-by-donation community feast


Today is June 17. Today is packing up day. The landlord has told LOOPHOLE to move by JULY 2


So silly given the closures of many retail businesses in High Street and over MELBOURNE IN GENERAL

In the meantime, please support Joe's Organics of Victoria Rd Northcote who is a big supporter of Loophole

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

 Melbourne Unitarian Peace Memorial Church extends a hearty welcome to the homeless and the marginalised

 Hence Unitarians uphold national treasure Father Bob Maguire (awarded Order of Australia, 1989)

Father Bob Maguire  (born Thornbury)  Source

After a long battle with Archbishop Denis Hart, Cardinal George Pell and others, Father Bob was EVICTED in early 2012 as Parish Priest of  Saints Peter and Paul. Capuchin monks were then installed

National celebrity, the sometimes cheeky clergyman used to offer critiques of the Roman Catholic heirarchy. In return, Church figures told Father Bob that he was far too old for the job


Archbisop Hart  (born East Melbourne)  Source

Yet 3AW's Neil Mitchell pointed out in a radio interview with
Archp Hart that Melbourne had even older RC Parish Priests

 Even those Saints Peter and Paul couldn't save Bob him from Cardinal Pell!
