WHO IS PETER PAUL PORTELLI?
In Australia he formed soccer teams at the work place. In 1979 he formed the Australian Nadur Association to organize the feast of St. Peter and Paul and became its first president. In 1986 he became elected Councilor of the City of Sunshine by 51% of the votes. During his term in office of Councillor the council named a street after Portelli’s home town of Nadur. The street called Nadur Court has nineteen houses and is in the suburb of St. Albans.
In 1991 he founded the Maltese Cultural Association Inc. In 1992 he acquired an old railways building and established the Maltese Cultural Centre, in Albion. The Centre was officially opened by Ian Baker State Member for Sunshine the person who supported Portelli’s request to acquire the premises. The Centre was blessed by Mons. Benedict Camilleri, Rector of Ta’ Pinu Basilica, in Gozo. Portelli founded many associations which some of them are still very successful today. In November 1996 he formed the Order of St. Peter and Paul to honuor members of the community for their tireless work in their society. The Order has now Priories in many States in Australia, Malta, Croatia and Austria. In November 2005, he ran as Independent candidate for the Grasslands Ward of the Brimbank City Council and lost by 8 votes. On the 29th. November 2008, Peter Paul Portelli contested once again the Brimbank City Council elections. He polled 400 more votes from the 2005 election but although he once again was a preferred by the voters he didn't have enough preferential votes to win the election. Brimbank City Council was dismissed by the State Government of Victoria for corruption and intimidation by some councillors. The dismissal took place on 15 th. September, 2009, just nine months after the 2008 elections. Peter is intending to stand a team of candidates in the next election in 2012 elections.

Il-kappella ta’ San Pawl hija waħda mid-diversi kappelli li nsibu fir-raħal sbejjaħ ta’ Ħ’Attard. Biex tasal għal din il-kappella kif tasal f’salib it-toroq fi Triq Notabile tiġbed lejn it-telgħa li twasslek lejn Ħaż-Żebbuġ u tidħol l-ewwel triq fuq ix-xellug. Din it-triq kemmxejn dejqa twasslek quddiem din il-kappella verament ħelwa.
Oriġinarjament fuq l-istess sit fejn tinsab din il-kappella ta’ San Pawl illum kien hemm oħra dedikata lil Marija Assunta. Din tal-aħħar, kienet inbniet lejn l-1629, u dan skont manuskritt iffirmat mis-saċerdot Gio Batta Sammut. Dan il-manuskritt f’għamla ta’ fuljett, għandu miktub fuqu fih deskrizzjoni tal-oriġini tar-raħal ta’ Ħ’Attard u tal-knisja tiegħu. 
Il-faċċata tal-knisja hija mħaddna minn żewġ pilastri Doriċi, filwaqt li fin-nofs fuqani, jiddomina l-frontispizju. Il-bieb huwa nkwadrat bil-bsaten u fuqu hemm friża bid-data ta’ meta tlestiet il-kappella, jiġifieri dik tal- 1729. ‘Il fuq minn dil-friża hemm pediment segmentali u akatar ‘il fuq fil-faċċata nsibu l-arma tal-Isqof Alpheran de Bussan. Mal-ġnub tal-bieb hemm żewġ twejqiet fil-baxx, li fil-ħoġor ġewwieni tagħhom hemm kaxxi maqtugħa fil-ġebla, fejn kienu jinġabru xi flejjes li kienu jintefgħu minn naħa milħuqha minn barra. Fil-ġnub tal-knisja hemm żewġ twieqi fuq kull naħa. Fuq il-bejt hemm jixxabbat kampnar mat-tromba tal-bejt u ieħor baxx mal-ġenb, wara l-frontispizju. 
In 1987 the council of the City of Sunshine chose Nadur as its Sister City. On New Years Eve of 1987 during Monsignor Archpriest Sam Muscat visit to Melbourne the Mayor of the City of Sunshine Cr. Gerry O’Connor officially invited him at the Town Hall together with Cr. Portelli and Mr. Guzi Muscat from Nadur.
