VALUES THAT WORK - VALUES THAT HELP!

CDP Policies Explained

Foremost in importance, our policies have been developed with Biblical principles as a basis. However, the CDP has also had many years of parliamentary experience (in NSW parliament) and has carefully set policies using this experience, as well using the Bible as a basis.

Policies have been developed in several portfolio areas, and below our policies are outlined, grouped in the following areas;

• Family
• Education and Training
• Health
• Drug Rehabilitation
• Economy
• Defence
• Aged Care
• Ethnic Affairs
• Environment
• Law and Order
• Immigration
