Inhaltsangabe
In the 2004 federal election campaign religion seemed to spring out of nowhere to take centre stage. In fact it was just the latest act in a drama that has been quietly developing for over a decade in Australian politics. Assiduously cultivated by John Howard, an extreme form of conservative Christianity now has real influence on our politicians and their policies.
How has American-style evangelicalism become so prominent in secular Australia? Why are abortion, creationism and family values now on the political agenda? Why is religion no longer a private matter for public figures?
In God Under Howard Marion Maddox explains how John Howard has harnessed the conservative social agenda and market-based ideology of American fundamentalists in order to stay in power. As a result, she argues that Australia's democratic, egalitarian culture is now under serious assault.

softcover. 1. Columnist Terry Lane once wrote that Howard 'radiates a malign anti-charisma'. Since 1996, that spirit has spread across the country. Children overboard, fridge magnets, use of taxpayer funds for Coalition advertising, and systematic redistribution of wealth from poor to rich are all key features of the Howard regime. We accept the transparent lies, and vote him in again. How did it come to this? Australia's democratic, egalitarian culture has sustained serious assaults from a government, which plays to our base instincts, and an opposition which remains silent. In the first sustained examination of the influence of the religious right on Australian politics, "God Under Howard" reveals how Howard has had his way with Australia's soul. Good condition. Tanning. Artikel-Nr. 24959541
