Announcing our solar panel recipients

Last Christmas Common Grace members crowd-funded solar panels for Kirribilli House as a clean energy gift to our nation. Today we're updating you on where they've gone... Local legends accept solar panel gift fit for a PM!

Several months later, we were informed that the Government would not accept the gift for various reasons that really didn’t stack up.

So we tried again, explaining how easily these objections could be overcome and yet - despite a pile of media articles reporting the story and an increasingly loud chorus of Christians and non-Christians urging them to #acceptthegift – again the Government said no.

Now… after months of exploring alternative options, we are pleased to let you know that we have finally found the PERFECT gift recipient and (even better!) they have ACCEPTED THE GIFT! Hooray!
