In our season two debut, we speak to Christians about how they voted and chat to Father Rod Bower, the Anglican priest known for his progressive church signs. We also review the SBS documentary Christians Like Us and introduce a new segment, Rubie Is Fuming.

CHANGE SYSTEMS, CHANGE THE WORLD". In recent months Father Rod has published his autobiography Outspoken, and announced his senate candidacy as an independent in this year's federal election.
