God likes Liberal policies: Howard 

God is not a Liberal, but he sure likes Liberal policies, Prime Minister John Howard has told Korean churchgoers in his marginal Sydney electorate. 

As the election campaign entered the final week, Mr Howard with his wife Janette, was back in Bennelong on Sunday amid fears he could lose the seat to the Labor challenger, former journalist Maxine McKew. 

At the Riverside Girls High School hall in Gladesville, Mr Howard addressed a Korean congregation through an interpreter telling them he shared their belief in God and the "transforming influence" of Jesus Christ. 

"I'm not suggesting that God is either Liberal or Labor," Mr Howard said. 

"He is neither. 

"But I am suggesting that the influence of Christianity in such policies as families, individual responsibility ... personal choice and free enterprise sit very comfortably with the values of my party."
