God Under Howard: The Rise of the Religious Right in Australian Politics (pbk {{ISBN|1741145686}}) is a 2005 book by Marion Maddox. Maddox argues that, from 1996, John Howard's Liberal Party slowly imported US Christian right values and that the Australian media reported little about this shift in social and public policy. Maddox suggests that the line between church and state became blurred, as happened in America.{{cite news|url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/Books/God-as-subsidiary-of-the-coalition/2005/02/20/1108834639991.html|title=God Under Howard Reviewed|first=Antony|last= Loewenstein| authorlink =Antony Loewenstein|date=February 20, 2005|work=The Sun-Herald|accessdate=14 April 2014}}{{cite news|url=http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2005/02/23/1109046981178.html|title=God under Howard: The rise of the religious right in Australia - Reviews|last=Porter|first=Muriel| authorlink =Muriel Porter|date=February 26, 2005|work=The Age|accessdate=14 April 2014}}
