The leaders of the three biggest parties, ALP, Liberal and Greens are all Catholic or in the case of Rudd a Catholic turned Anglican. Catholics are the second biggest cult after the Protestants in Australia and just ahead of the non-believers by a whisker. Catholics are possibly over-represented due to private school networking in the case of the Abbott and Pyne types and a concern with social justice issues in the case of a Rudd or Milne type. It really isn't about the religion though.

It is all about power, money and special interests corrupting democracy. Abbott for all his Catholicism will have signed his soul over to big carbon polluters, the tobacco lobby, Rupert Murdoch and lots more to take the election.
