Another Christian Leaves Parliament

A faith that is practised not just preached - that's the description of the latest Christian to exit the political stage.

Having announced last December that he would not be standing for re-election this year, National MP Paulo Garcia has bid farewell to Parliament, honouring colleagues from politicians to security guards.

Maxim Institute's Executive Director caught up with Diane Campbell about the Christian MP's two terms in office, and his consistent integrity despite the shocking abuse that he and his family endured. Tim Wilson says Mr Garcia used his valedictory speech to remind his fellow Ministers of their grave responsibility in setting the tone of civic discourse, and that cross-party response was a testament to his respectul treatment of supporters and opponents alike.
