Thanks for the correction David! I thought I read that in an Australian newspaper a few weeks ago but I must have misremembered which election that article was referring to… maybe that was about another regional or local election and I got the coverage confused because I don’t know all the politicians here by name.
Uh, what? Julia Gillard is an atheist, but Tony Abbott is a staunch Catholic. He went to seminary. He’s called “the Mad Monk.” He said before the election that he wanted to make studying the Bible mandatory in Australian schools.
Where on Earth did you get the idea that he was an atheist?
(Just to add to the confusion: the Liberal Party of Australia is the conservative party.)
