Point made

The Senate inquiry into proposed workplace reforms continues (although I noted this last week but have been tardy in posting). God has rated another mention. After Senator Johnston told the inquiry that unions were less relevant because their membership had declined, the Daily Telegraph recorded this response from union boss Bill Shorten:
"Do you believe in God? Do you go to church?" And then on receiving an affirmative answer he followed with: "Apparently the attendances of traditional, organized religion are down. Do you, therefore, think that God doesn't exist?"
Senator Johnston's response was not recorded.
