Episode description
If you don’t believe in God, then heaven help you in the ADF.
Those are the words of Senator David Shoebridge, who has argued that our military is putting too much faith in religious chaplains to provide support for service members.
The military employs 158 full-time chaplains, 150 of whom are ordained Christian ministers.

Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper Amy Fallon on the role of religion in the ADF and what happens when it’s challenged.
