How much to pump into the railways, and where, remain the most divisive questions.

Since the 1990s, a divisive question in politics has been how much of the income from petroleum production the government should spend, and how much it should save.

Neither party had taken a position on the divisive question during the campaign, but selecting a permanent capital was high on the list of the new legislature's orders of business.

Developments have taken place which not only make possible, but also require the churches to examine the divisive questions and condemnations and see them in a new light.
