Wednesday, 30th March 2011
The Rev Fred Nile MLC, National President of the Christian Democratic Party, has stated his appreciation for all the NSW voters (over 103,000) who voted for the CDP Upper House Team led by Mayor Paul Green. Large numbers of postal and absentee votes are still being counted.

"Our high CDP vote was remarkable as we were competing with high profile Independents Pauline Hanson and John Hatton, as well as the Liberal Party, the ALP and the Greens.
"Unfortunately, even though we are pledged to support the religious freedom of Churches and Christian Schools, many Church leaders, Pastors etc are fearful of giving CDP any public support or endorsement.
We pray this may change in the future as the Church, Christians and Christian Schools etc come under increasing attack by the Greens and other anti-Christian forces" said Rev Fred Nile MLC.
Fred Nile Thanks God And Supporters For CDP Election Victory
Wednesday, 30th March 2011
1. Coalition Tsunami!
The NSW State Election result has been compared with a tsunami as the ALP have been swept away by a tide of dissatisfied voters, especially in blue ribbon ALP Seats such as Campbelltown (21%), Strathfield 21%, Parramatta 21%, Bathurst 37% and Riverstone 31% swing.
We congratulate Barry O'Farrell (Liberal) and Andrew Stoner (NP) having won 67 Seats. The ALP has shrunk to 19 Seats with four Seats in doubt. The swing against the ALP has been 17% with 61% of total votes counted.
The Coalition received as the two-party preferred, including preferences, 63.9% compared to 36.1% ALP.
Three Independents were re-elected - Richard Torbay (Northern Tablelands); Greg Piper (Lake Macquarie) and Clover Moore (Sydney).
2. NSW Legislative Council (Upper House) Christian Democratic Party Victory!
We give thanks to Almighty God that we have won back our Upper House Seat with Mayor Paul Green who will now take up the CDP Seat in the NSW Upper House.
When there is such a massive swing to one Party it usually reduces the votes of minor party and causes Independents to be defeated as occurred in Dubbo, Tamworth and Port Macquarie.
However, the betrayal by the Federal Independents Rob Oakeshott and Tony Windsor who helped to elect the Federal ALP Government was also a major factor in the rejection of the three Independents.
3. NSW Lower House (Legislative Assembly)
We also give thanks to Almighty God for the wonderful achievements of our 86 Assembly candidates. Nearly 30 CDP candidates received over 4% and will receive Electoral funding.
We especially congratulate Dave Vincent (Mt Druitt) who received 2693 votes which was (8.9%); Manny Poularas (Smithfield) who received 2798 votes (8.0%), for a great effort, which proves the value of longer campaigning and repeat standing for election in one Seat.
4. Ethnic Candidates' Success
We were greatly encouraged by the results of our Ethnic candidates who only agreed to stand at the last moment in difficult Seats and have achieved exceptional results. I list some of these achievements. Our Coptic Australian Candidates whose citizens are fighting for democracy in Egypt Matt Attia (Liverpool) 2189 votes = 6.5%; Peter Tadros (Cabramatta) 1010 = 3.5%; Zarif Abdulla (Bankstown) 1333 votes = 4.2%; Steven Marcos (Oatley) 1566 votes = 4.7%; Albert Fam (Canterbury) 1264 votes = 3.7%, and our Macedonian Candidate Anita Stezova (Rockdale) 1491 votes = 4.4%.
5. Family First Party (FFP)
Rev Moyes has failed to be elected as the Family First candidate for the Upper House. We were very disappointed that the Family First Party broke their verbal and written agreement to exchange preferences with the Christian Democratic Party for the Upper House.
The CDP kept its word and included preferences for the Family First Party on our one million "How to Votes", however the FFP did not include CDP on their "How to Votes" which meant a large number of their votes would exhaust and not go to the CDP, which reduced our preferences and final vote.
The 15 FFP Lower House candidates received fewer than 1,000 votes. In all Seats except one, CDP exceeded the FFP candidates' vote.
In spite of several other parties trying unsuccessfully to gain the Christian and conservative vote, the Lord and supporters remained faithful to CDP in stopping the Greens gaining the balance of power in the Upper House.
6. Pagan Green Watermelon Party
Thankfully, the Green Party with their Ecological Marxist ideology at this stage has failed to win any Seats in the NSW Legislative Assembly in spite of their extensive boasting.
The Green Party was confident they would at least win the Seats of Balmain and Marrickville, but on the current counting it seems the ALP will retain these two inner city Seats, which have a large Green population. The Upper House counting is still proceeding and we pray that the Greens will not gain another Seat.
It also appears they will not hold the Balance of Power in the Upper House. Instead that "Balance of Prayer and Responsibility" will, by God's gift, be in the hands of the Christian Democratic Party Members, Rev Hon Fred Nile MLC and the Hon Paul Green MLC.
Our CDP policy over the 30 years I have served in the Upper House is to respect the mandate of the elected Government to respect the choice of the NSW voters, to be positive, constructive and not obstructive (as are the Greens) but assist the elected Government as it seeks to carry out their policies on behalf of the people and families of NSW.
However, anti family, anti life, anti Christian legislation we will strongly oppose as we carry out the Will of God.
7. Islamic Influences in the NSW State Election
The NSW Council of Muslims Imams reported that it had held meetings with the ALP Premier Kristina Keneally and the Coalition Leader Barry O'Farrell prior to the Election where they sought their support for Muslim causes.
The Council Secretary Sheik Tarek El-Bikai said the Council was pleased with the commitments made by both leaders which it said included Mr O'Farrell's commitment that he would not support any legislation that was anti Islam.
This commitment is very disappointing if it means the Coalition has already agreed to oppose the CDP Face Covering Bill, even before it is debated, especially as face covering is not required in the Muslim Koran.
The Muslim leaders also recommended a vote for Family First in the Upper House because FF has Muslim representatives on its State Council. Mr Moyes had publicly stated his support for Muslims and has opposed the CDP Face-Covering Bill. This State Election also saw an increase in the number of Muslim candidates nominated by the Liberal Party and the ALP as well as Independent Muslim candidates.
"I personally thank all our 106 CDP Candidates, our Electorate Coordinators, Polling Booth Workers, Prayer Partners, Donors and our hard working Campaign Office Team, particularly Graham Freemantle, Bernie Gesling, Leighton Thew, Ian Smith and others" said Rev Nile.
Fred Nile's Dire Warning About The Greens' Dangerous Agenda
Mr Andrews has provided an excellent 6000 word article concerning the Green Party's agenda. (Click here)
The Australian Greens are part of a worldwide movement whose objective is the radical transformation of the Judeo-Christian culture that underpins western civilisation, which is very similar to the aims of fundamentalist Islam.
It would be a tragedy for the voters of NSW, especially idealistic young people, to fall into the Green trap through the veneer of environmental slogans. The real choice for young people who are disillusioned with the major parties is to vote [1] for the Christian Democratic Party's 105 local candidates.
The Australian Greens Manifesto, "The Greens" 1996 Text Media Group, is summed up in Jack Mundy's own description of "Ecological Marxism". This description sums up the two core beliefs of the Greens. First, the environment or the ecology is to be placed before all else - humans are simply part of the natural world, a species equated to animals. Secondly, the Greens are Marxist in their philosophy which is totalitarian - the subordination of the individual, that is why I call it the watermelon party - green on the outside, red on the inside with a pink edge as they are the political wing of the homosexual movement.
The application of this ecological Marxism leads the Greens to accept and even promote these policies. Support of euthanasia, abortion, infanticide, suicide and even bestiality, provided there is mutual consent, legalised prostitution, pornography, same sex marriage as well as the republic and the scrapping the Australian Flag. A healthy dog has more value than a disabled child according to Peter Singer. He recently argued in favour of incest at the Sydney University that sexual intercourse between a brother and sister was not wrong provided they used condoms to prevent conception.
The Greens are now self censoring their controversial policies. For example in 2004 the Greens policy document was 180 pages long. In 2007 it was dramatically reduced to prevent criticism and to deceive the youthful voters.
The Greens' radical anti-Christian moral policies are enough to deter any thinking person, but their economic high taxing policies are even more extreme. For example, death duties, environmental taxes, increasing top marginal tax rates, increasing company tax etc.
They also question private ownership which is socialism. The Carbon Tax is a perfect example of the Greens' high taxing policy which they have blackmailed the ALP into adopting.
Both Peter Singer and Philip Nitschke have been previously endorsed as Green candidates in Australia.
In the Green Manifesto, both Brown and Singer supported the scrapping of our drug laws.
They want to restrict Christian Schools and abolish their Exemption from Anti-Discrimination Laws and scrap the School Chaplaincy programme as well as having an open door policy to all illegal boat people.
Conclusion: The voters of NSW must not Vote 1 for Green Candidates and give them political power in NSW so that they can blackmail the Coalition Government through control of the Upper House.
We do not want the same situation in our NSW Upper House as the Federal Senate with 9 Green Senators!
The future of NSW is in the hands of the thousands of young people when they vote on Saturday 26th March 2011.
We urge them to vote [1] for our outstanding Christian Democratic Party candidates, for both our Upper House team, led by Mayor Paul Green, and our local CDP candidates in their electorate. To view the complete list of CDP Candidates for the NSW Legislative Assembly (Click here).
