Morrison’s life is his faith. He says the Bible is not a policy handbook, but his every move as prime minister has been informed by it. He is a literalist and he believes his office to be a reward from God. He is the first Pentecostal to lead a nation. What comes next is God’s will.

"What Christians do in the public square is still big news," writes John Warhurst in the Canberra Times. "Some Christian leaders lament their fall from grace. Others bewail that Christians are being pushed out of public debate, but that is not the case."

However Christians form as diverse and divided a community as Australia itself and when Christianity is reported in the media it seems to lack a figurehead to give the unity that brings greater political strength.
