The Community Of Unity Tour will be at the Parkes Services Club in the Starlight Room at 6pm on Wednesday 21st June.
Australia has been through some tough times during the past four years. Various natural disasters including fire and floods combined with changes to government policies has resulted in some Australians feeling disillusioned and cynical of the institutions they once trusted.
As a Qantas pilot, Captain Graham Hood had an extensive career spanning 50 years. He made an agonising decision to resign when he chose not to accept corporate mandates imposed on his industry.
Graham and his wife Michelle have chosen to stand up and be a voice in a world they perceive is tearing itself apart.
“We can just ignore the plight of our nation or stand up and do something constructive to restore this once great land,” Graham said.
Graham has spoken to hundreds of thousands of people at public events and reached a global audience via his podcast, called Club Grubbery, with friend John Larter. John Larter was a paramedic for 25 years, who was terminated for refusing to accept a mandate he disagreed with.
Together, they reach hundreds of thousands every week, sharing their views. “This hasn’t been an easy journey” says Graham. “In recent months we have been drawing attention to the many injured by this armoury of government and corporate policies.”
Graham and Michelle come across many heartbreaking stories as they tour our country in their efforts to bring communities together.
In the past year they have visited 180 communities and spoken at gatherings of hundreds of people. A man of faith, Graham has baptised almost 200 people in various locations who he claims are seeking a simple faith to help them navigate the perplexities of the ‘new normal’.
Parkes residents can hear this couple speak at a free event on Wednesday, 21st June at 6pm, in the Stalight Room of the Parkes Services Club.
