AOG may hold power in Senate
A Mr Steve Fielding who attends an AOG church in Melbourne, and got 1.9% of the primary Senate vote, may end up holding the balance of power in the Senate. This would make him, and the "Family First" so-called Christian party he represents, immensely powerful (effectively they would hold the gov't of John Howard over a barrel on every controversial bill).
I just hope that Mr Fielding is a genuine, caring Christian. Even so, to balance Christian principles and politics will be extremely difficult on many issues. And as I'm in the offensive mood, there are some AOG attendees who it seems to me give high priority to the two m's - money and me!
The prosperity gospel often seems their preferred message.
