Description: Marion Maddox explains how John Howard has harnessed the conservative social agenda and market-based ideology of American fundamentalists in order to stay in power. As a result, she argues that Australia's democratic, egalitarian culure is now under serious assault. Marion Maddox is the leading authority on the intersection of religion and politics in Australia.
