David Robinson is an Australian bishop in the Anglican Church of Australia.
[5] He was ordained in 1994 and until his ordination to the episcopate worked in the Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn in parishes in Gundagai, Kooringal and Curtin.
[6] In April 2014, Robinson was appointed as the next Bishop of Rockhampton, replacing Godfrey Fryar who had retired in 2013.
The cathedral's roof was significantly damaged in Cyclone Marcia in February 2015 and closed for some time, but the cathedral was forced to close again after one wall suffered subsidence in 2017 while groundworks were being carried out.
[8] During the Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey in 2017, Robinson said he affirmed the doctrine of the Anglican Church of Australia that marriage was "a lifelong and exclusive union between a man and a woman", but acknowledged that the debate about same sex marriage was a "deeply personal and complex issue", that members of the LGBTI community "had not always felt welcomed, accepted and loved" and that he was "deeply sorry" for this.
