The Family First party is a surprise however. I don't recall a faith based political party in the past.
IIRC, there was formerly a Catholic-affiliated political party in Australia,sorry,forgot the name,but it was socialist/left-leaning.

The Democratic Labor Party. I seem to recall it was established by one Mr Santamaria. Catholics that had a 'falling out' with the Left. All they achieved, IMO was to keep the Labor Party out of office. Sometime back in the early sixties?
You know, it's funny, but when I wrote that, I just knew someone would pick me up on it! No doubt about FReepers - there I was, sweeping the Democratic Labor Party under the rug because I never considered them to be anything other than an aberration, and whoops! I got picked up on it! Thanks.
