Lyle Shelton joins Cory Bernadi’s Australian Conservatives Party
Conservative politician and leader of the Australian Christian Lobby Lyle Shelton, is set to join Senator Cory Bernardi to press a claim for his presence in Federal Parliament.
Mr Shelton believes that politics in Australia needs Christian influence on the inside but is this what Australian politics really needs and does religion in Australia have an influence in Australian politics overall?
Dr Jill Sheppard from the ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences and the School of Politics and International Studies spoke to the daily to tell us more about the impact of this recent move.
