Principles of the CDP

Our Principles:

1. To uphold a free and democratic society with freedom of speech, the rule of law and stable constitutional government.
2. To support and strengthen the Family unit as the basis of our society and responsible parenting with pro-family, pro-child policies. No to euthanasia.
3. To stand for high moral principles in all walks of life and in legislation based on biblical ethics and integrity.
4. To foster the principles of government accountability and responsibility, and active citizen participation in a social compact.
5. Australian laws must be based on the Judeo-Christian ethic and not on any other religious laws.
6. To respect our Australian Flag and the values in our heritage, culture and ideals of equality, democracy, merit and justice.
7. To advance the cause of social justice for all: the under-privileged, the unemployed, the handicapped, the elderly, the displaced.
8. To pursue the ideal of a sound mind in a sound body by promoting a healthy life-style free from any abuse, drugs or harm.
9. To expect a high standard of Education, Social and Medical Care for all Australians, urban or rural.
10. To favour a totally integrated environment for sustainability – i.e. social, economic and physical.
11. To encourage Australian ownership of enterprise, industry and capital, and promote decentralisation to create more sustainable jobs.
