No and the Constitution prohibits the establishment of a state religion.
Chapter V
Quote:116. The Commonwealth shall not make any law for establishing any religion, or for imposing any religious observance, or for prohibiting the free exercise of any religion, and no religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust under the Commonwealth.
Go us Aussies!!!!!

To true...but "Tri" is usually indicative of three...who is the other team??
 "tri" could also mean 'Aussie aspirations to beat the kiwis at their own game'
The third is South Africa, but they don't contest the Bledisloe. Each tri nations each team plays 6 games, 3 against each other team, the team who wins 2 out of 3 between New Zealand and Australia wins the Bledisloe. I'm not sure how long the Bledisloe cup has been decided based on tri-nations games but it wasn't always the case - I think it might have started the first year the tri-nations started, which would be some time in the mid 90's.

Thanks, Milady!
There are many intelligent Christians, no doubt, but an "intellectual Christian", is surely an oxymoron.

Hello, there! Good to meet you. Good sign all these churches going! Australia-wide I suspect.
