“This is the NOW for which you have been waiting. And with that, we step out of Dreamtime to realise the final dream before that ribbon falls… Which is to say this is now the time to bring our help wholeheartedly and indiscriminately. For only in this way, this new Church of Scientology both serves Perth and becomes Perth.”

“I think the opportunity for this Church is fantastic and I am most fortunate to be amongst some fabulous and well-trained people. Here any citizen can discover whatever they need to design and fulfill their own personal dreams. And that means a massive impact across Western Australia.”

“Right here in Western Australia there have been deep issues. Worst among them is local kids being given prescription drugs against their will and even worse, threatened with ECT [electro-convulsive therapy] as young as 11 years old. This is not just a crime, it is morally unconscionable. You set about an information campaign that is evidence-based and you met with West Australian MPs [Members of Parliament] to expose the shocking truth. And ultimately, you brought about a permanent ban of ECT on minors, thereby safeguarding the most vulnerable citizens!”

“I believe the Church of Scientology is the solution to give Mankind the answers for them to handle life and better themselves. I have seen your dedication, your passion for uplifting others and your values for protecting every citizen in Perth. It gives me great honour and hope knowing I have a Church that I can send people to, knowing they are going to become a better person with the answers they have been seeking. And so, with this grand ceremony, let’s awaken the human spirit and create a great change for Perth and all of Western Australia!”

“I immediately recognised the tremendous capacity of the Church to give back. No matter the issue: drugs, human rights, morality—you come at it with a passion that is unparalleled. I have worked with humanitarian teams from the Nullarbor to the Kimberleys and the top of Darwin and I have never seen anything like your campaigns… It is Help with a capital H… That’s the Church of Scientology—a humanitarian organisation across the boards!”
