But of course my main concern was that it was not broadcast or even accessible to non-christians.

Unfortunately - nothing. What we need is people power - Give us Aussie's some input and we'll be able to tell you where to fined the greatest latte's of all. But seriously - this is rubbish - all Australians deserve the right to listen, and stand up for what we believe in. If one religion is given one of those pre-school like Question-Time's, then we should be able to speak directly to the main parties and we should be able to influence THEM with OUR feedback from recent events and history, and ideas for the future which could be beneficial to all of us as a whole, INCLUDING all of those Christians who have already had their Question-Time. Plus, we can ask them to import some more varieties of coffee. This would be extremely beneficial, I'm sure, for 90% of Aussies who wake up looking like zombies inthe morning like I do.

A bit sticky, since our head of state is also head of our church, which sadly some take as a cue to invest religion in politics. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (you remember her - look at what's left of the coins in your pocket) is also head of the Church of England. Check out our flag - it's all crosses up there in the top left-hand corner, one of the few nations that states its religion on its national symbol. The God-botherers are here and in charge. Want to know how that'll turn out? Remember George W. Bush? Just thank your lucky stars neither Rudd or Abbott are oil barons. Christian fundamentalism, religious socialism, exclusivity, censorship, intellectual repression and all the rest of it has no place in a multicultural democracy, and yet here we see it taking over with no alternative (vote one out and exactly the same type will take his place), and there's nothing you can do about it. Farewell democracy, it was nice knowing you. Embrace the horror, kids. Or become a pagan and invest in a stadium and some lions. It's all good.
