Sad to say people, don't get your hopes up high.
I used to live around the corner from the guys from SA and also from their church (Paradise AOG) and I doubt that dialogue would actually help, or be useful, or do anything...
I'd have thought some things might have changed but I've a friend who sat through a service in Queensland only a few weeks ago who when they arrived back in town spoke of how the message made her sick and that they were so anti-gay and narrow minded that they made her physically ill.
I'm not so sure about their stance on refugee issues, but I'm of the thought that they've probably not changed much in the last few years and that they are an overtly fundamentalist christian group who's views are fairly black and white.
If I were Labor I wouldn't be too afraid of them next election because if the Liberals are paying attention they'll have to do something about the group or Liberal will stop being the conservative party because the Family First Party might challenge them for the role as the conservatives in the Parliament...
