God works in mysterious ways, and she wants your vote

The Australian Christian Lobby is running candidate forums in marginal seats across the country for the Federal election.

The Leichhardt forum will be held on Thursday 12th August, at 6:30 pm, at the Cairns Baptist Church, 138 Lake Street.

It's unsure what candidates will be attending at this stage, but if you'd like a good dose of right-wing extreme conservatism, with a sprinkling of happy clapping, this could be just the event for you.

Issues on the agenda include...

• Public Christianity (freedom of religion and prayer in parliament);
• International justice (overseas aid, refugees, religious security)
• Poverty (homelessness and housing affordability, taxation considerations)
• Life (cloning, euthanasia, abortion, abortion data)
• Youth and Education (chaplaincy, youth unemployment, national curriculum, school funding)
• Family (marriage, parenting, surrogacy and ART)
• Sexualisation of children (classification, internet safety)
• Environment (climate change)
• Justice (Sharia law, Human Rights Act)
• Indigenous issues (Indigenous welfare)
