>  
> \[…\] When asked if there should be a separation between church and state, Mr Ngaro said, “of course there are separations… but there should never be a separation between the values we take”.   
> “Why should those be Christian values?” Tame asked.   
> “They can be other values, those are just my values,” Mr Nagro said.   
> “What this nation needs is to acknowledge is we are under the auspice of a Christian set of values that is important to who we are as a democratic nation… **The fact is we should be acknowledging that we have a Christian heritage, a Christian base and we shouldn’t be afraid of that.”**
