I hope there's hope
Yes Geoff, Philip Aspinal, has made the news and may, perhaps, may, possibly shake up a few Anglicans and Christians. Alas I think that in the church and in politics people hear what they want to hear and that is what suits them.
Us in Australia, may have heard the Labor Party this week raising that it should be more compassionate in policies and thats how our society should be, (Julia Gillard and Mark Latham before her). I suspect that washed over most people. We have had an election where John Howard went on about interest rates, physical and economic safety, and the Christians (generally wealthy) voted for it, (all surveys show that Christians vote for conservatives around the world, in my view they votes for their own interests).
To me the two outstanding quotes of Australia politics are:
".... self interest is always the winner, in fact, its the only horse in the race" Paul Keating,
and
"We will have a Liberal government while the greedy outnumber the needy" Bob Menzies
I have never voted for conservatives.
