FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda It’s OK to recover.
That was the message to Black Saturday survivors from the Rev Jim Pilmer as he led a quiet remembrance service attended by about 100 people at Melbourne’s Arts Centre on a hot and windy Sunday.
He said the changing ways people commemorate the February 2009 blaze is a sign of healing and in no way means there is any less love for the 173 people who died in Australia’s largest natural disaster.
“Change is a sign of healing and change is a sign of hope,” he told the audience.
Mr Pilmer said some people who had lost loved ones might feel they have not travelled very far on the road to recovery, while others have made more progress.
“Give yourself permission to recover,” he said.
“When we trick ourselves into thinking that the intensity of our grief is a sign of the depth of our love, then we are preventing ourselves from … reaching out to the future.”
Victorian Premier Ted Baillieu, who earlier marked the third anniversary at Callignee in the state’s southeast, said the government would continue to help communities rebuild, but acknowledged the emotional pain continued.
“We will never forget and never let go and support will be there,” he said.
Mr Baillieu said he had noticed a more positive outlook in some of the affected communities he had visited.
“There are more smiles than we’ve seen before,” he said.
Country Fire Authority crews on Sunday extinguished a grass fire at Strathewen, where 27 people died on Black Saturday.
They were called to a paddock on Eagle Nest Road about 1.05pm (AEDT) and brought the one-hectare blaze under control in about 30 minutes.
