Christian Today Australia recently caught up with Jim Wallace, the managing director of the Australian Christian Lobby, to give an overview of the Christian lobby group and its plan for 2008.
C.T AUS: What has been a highlight for you in the Australian Christian Lobby this year?
J.W: The highlight has been the fact that we have been able to confirm the existence of the Christian constituency in a major election and I think it is put beyond challenge in the future. The truth is Christians should have an influence in public policy. I suppose the second thing would be that we have been able to go through a transition of government from conservative to Labor or, alternatively Coalition to Labor, and still from a lobbyist’s point of view be able to maintain our contact and influence into the new government as well as into the Coalition. So, for us, this is proof of the concept of the lobbying. We always wanted to bring Christian influence into the parliament, regardless of which side of politics is in power.
