In the city of churches, there's one topic leaders can't ignore ahead of the state election

The campaign, based on the voting record of MPs for abortion legislation passed last year, is in lock step with a campaign being run by minor party Family First to give greater prominence to Christian views in political debate.

Ditching their former allegiances, Mr Snelling and Mr Kenyon have put all politicians on notice that they will be held to account for their voting record. In the Liberal Party, the traditional voting home of conservative Christians, ructions over the lack of prominence of Christian views escalated last year, after a recruiting drive through Pentecostal churches in South Australia was thwarted., with a further 400 members asked to "show cause" as to why they should remain.

While they are still winning elections, as evidenced by the ascendancy of Australia's first evangelical Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Professor Smith said the Christian Right was losing its political influence as Australia's cultural identity shifted.

Becomes a concern with churches trying to have even more control in politics. Their views are often not those of average Australians and antiquated. They are self indulgent and self serving. Can't reconcile that we're no longer in the early middle ages. Stay out of politics.

Why is it that so many “Christians” feels it’s okay to impose their will on others, and have an obsession with the goings on in the bedrooms of consenting adults they haven’t even met.

religious political affiliation should be illegal.

Tax all religions then ban them from religion!! Its just about privileged white men trying to hold on to power.

Leftism has upper hand, with the massive help from the Internet machine. But just

Tax churches and abolish private schools

What a joke. Ms Higgins' allegations are untested in Court. The bloke will never get a fair hearing. Maiden and Murphy never contemplated the impacts of Higgins' drunken state on her memory. Incompetent journalism based on an unproven premise. Maiden a complete smartarse.
