Australia's One Nation courts Christian voters, but policies may clash with their values

Australia's One Nation party is actively courting Christian voters, with recruit Barnaby Joyce addressing an anti-abortion rally in Sydney in early June attended by church leaders and around 1,500 people. However, with one in three Australian churchgoers born overseas, the party's monoculture rhetoric risks alienating a significant share of its target audience. The tension between One Nation's anti-immigration stance and a diverse Christian community poses a challenge for the party's campaign strategy.

Should political parties actively campaign for the votes of religious communities?
