Political Christianity gains in Australia

Family First giving confidence to Australian MP's.

Several MPs contacted by The Weekend Australian said they would seek appropriate opportunities to express their beliefs.

"Religion and faith are mainly private matters, but if I see an opportunity, in parliament or in public, I will speak more openly about my Christian beliefs," Ms Vamvakinou, a member of the Greek Orthodox church, said.

Catherine King, the Catholic member for Ballarat, said: "It's very, very dangerous to mix religion and politics because these things are very personal and private.
"But just like the election where people have doubts about Labor's economic credential, if there are questions about our religious credentials we've got to tackle them."

All a bit hilariously familiar, yes?
