Christian Values Checklist released

The Australian Christian Values Checklist for the upcoming federal election has been released!

The Checklist compares the policies of the major political parties across a range of moral and ethical questions.
Salt Shakers works with a number of other Christian organisations to prepare this document. 
The Checklist is published by the Australian Christian Values Institute. 

Make sure you read it before voting!

Please distribute it widely to your churches and friends!
[If printing, please add the name of the printer at the bottom of the Checklist.]

We've also posted the Australian Christian Values Checklist on our special Election 2010 webpage - click here. 
It will be sent on our E-News (click here to subscribe).

How do we decide on the responses?
The responses and material are taken from Party policy statements, public statements, media reports etc. In some cases the voting record of the parties over the past few years has also been considered.

Supporting statements

We've prepared an 8 page document with the actual policy statements and other material.  It also addresses the question we sometimes get about the sort of issues addressed by the Checklist - and why we don't address what might are sometimes called 'social justice' issues.
