Why we advocated for Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran
By Rob Buckingham. A few years ago Christie and I got to know Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, two of the Bali Nine. We weren’t looking for something else to do.

A Mother’s Love Letter
As our children grow, often the opportunity to share with them about some of the most important things in life slips by. This is one mother’s letter to her children – on love, marriage, parenthood and relationships. My dear Child There are only four questions of value in life… What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for? And what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same… Only love....
