Political conservatism has grown in [[Australia]]. John Howard, who became prime minister in 1996, was the first holder of the office to describe himself as a conservative.<ref>Graeme Davison et al. eds., The Oxford Companion to Australian History (2nd ed. 2001) p 148</ref>
=== Decline of the 21st century atheist movement in Western World Anglosphere ===
The 2011 [[Elevatorgate]] controversy deeply fractured the Western World [[Anglosphere]] [[atheist movement]] and led to the decline of the atheist movement (see: [[Decline of the atheist movement]] and [[Western atheism, schisms and political polarization]]).
A number of atheists have declared that the "atheist movement is dead".<ref>
