Christian Values Checklist
A Christian Values Checklist has been prepared for the election by the Australian Christian Values Institute in association with Salt Shakers and a number of other organisations.
WA Christian Values Checklist - 2008 election (colour version)
WA Christian Values Checklist - 2008 election (black and white version)
A list of links to political parties and their policy pages is available (as well as listed below)
The Checklist assesses the positions of major parties on issues of concern to Christians and is provided as a service to the Christian community. This Checklist has been compiled after an exhaustive search of party platforms, voting history, statements, including in some cases the voting record of their Federal counterparts. Positions are often difficult to summarise in a format of this kind, and parties have not always made definitive statements.
A tick is a 'Yes' and a 'X' a 'No'. A '?' indicates in some instances a conscience vote, or a less than conclusive opinion on the party's position on some of the issues.
