Synopsis

Politics and religion combine Australian governmenrs contract out welfare services to church welfare agencies. This practice, relatively new in public policy in Australia, raises questions of the autonomy of church agencies, maintenance of their distinctively Christian value base, and the extent to which the church is being coopted into government policy. Australian economists, theologians, and politicians contribute to this collection.
