About Us
The Christian Democratic Party has for over twenty years represented the concerns of people who support Christian values, schools and caring institutions, family life, and who uphold the importance of the Commonwealth Constitution.
While we have fought for the values that made our nation, we are committed to the future development of our nation as an inclusive community based on cohesive values that made us a people.
The newest member of the Christian Democratic Party’s
Legislative Council team, Rev The Hon Dr Gordon Moyes AC MLC, has had forty
years working with the underprivileged and upholding Christian values. This
includes twenty-five years as head of the largest Christian welfare organisation
in the nation. He understands the needs of the disadvantaged, the aged, the
unemployed, and the ill.
Our Christian Democratic Party leader, Rev Fred Nile MLC, is acknowledged for his honest and courageous stands on issues that cause great public unrest and concern. Mr Nile has another four years of his current term in the Legislative Council to run.
The Christian Democratic Party has already been responsible for having legislation passed that:
-
banned tobacco advertising;
-
saved Letona Fruit Canning company, which has unfortunately now closed;
-
prohibited smoking in public places like restaurants, pubs and clubs;
-
helped established the Royal Commission into paedophile activity; and
-
saved the practice of opening Parliament with prayer.
All positive and helpful legislation has had the support of the Christian Democratic Party. Currently there are more than a dozen CDP Legislative Bills listed for debate.
Your Parliamentary CDP members have also been members of and frequently chairman of many important Government Committees and Inquiries including those into HIV/AIDS, drugs, adoption law, motor accidents, land tax, insurance industry, electoral reform, school and TAFE closures, ethnic affairs and multiculturalism.
The Christian Democratic Party is committed to:
-
security for our borders, streets, transport and houses;

improved quality of family life;
