Kalbarri is a long way from Perth. Western Australia must be one big state. Does it compare in size to any US state?
Inglis, Florida
In November 2001, Mayor Carolyn Risher issued a proclamation banning Satan from Inglis. The proclamation began:
"Satan, ruler of darkness, giver of evil, destroyer of what is good and just, is not now, nor ever again will be, a part of this town of Inglis."
It ended:
"As the mayor of Inglis, duly elected by the citizens of this town, and appointed by God to this position of leadership, I proclaim victory over Satan, freedom for our citizens, and liberty to worship our Creator and Heavenly Father, the God of Israel. I take this action in accordance with the words of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, as recorded in Matthew 28:18–20 and Mark 16:15-18."
This controversial proclamation garnered national and world attention. The American Civil Liberties Union accused the town of what they alleged was a clear violation of the separation of church and state. In addition, the proclamation was placed on wooden posts that were installed at the entrances to the town on public right of way. After much controversy and the threat of lawsuits, the town later rescinded its proclamation, and the mayor reimbursed the town for the use of government stationery. The wooden posts were relocated to private property.
