Counterproductive

One minor political party campaigned in the recent Australian federal election on the snappy three-word slogan of "Tax the church." This appealed to voters wanting to use punish the church for its moral failings, and looking for simplistic answers to the government's financial problems.

Natasha Moore of the Centre for Public Christianity argues her case well, in favour of retaining the present tax arrangements for religious organisations.
