I don't know, or maybe I don't understand.
The separation of church and state is not something much talked about here, perhaps because we don't have to.
When Howard appointed Archbishop Hollingsworth (Anglican=Episcopalian) Governor General people started about that.
It was so obviously a reaction to William Dean's very popular tenure that Australians were unsympathetic to Hollinsworth's demise over the handling of a (what else) sex scandal.
The religious right is growing here however.
The current economic problem has shot their sacred cow, which might slow them down.
