The Christian voice, along with every voice that upholds the values of life, justice, truth and compassion, is a service and a blessing to society and to its government.

As a committed Christian, I have chosen to align myself with the Christian Democratic Party, who uphold Christian values and strongly appeal for morality in our laws.
I am convinced that…
-
The moral landscape of a country is largely determined by its laws
-
Our laws reflect our values and moral absolutes
-
The Christian voice, along with every voice that upholds the values of life, justice, truth and compassion, is a service and a blessing to society and to its government.

I believe a healthy government is one that is quick to acknowledge, embrace and respect differing voices in its ranks, including the voice that cries out for moral laws. An honourable government recognises the need for accountability and is not afraid to pass laws that strengthen the ‘moral conscience’ of a society.
An accountable government does not assume that whatever is legal is also moral.
A dispute arose at the end of World War 2 as to what laws should be used to try Hitler’s men for war crimes. The men argued that they had not broken any laws; that their actions were carried out under the protection of their own legal system. They claimed it was unreasonable to accuse them of murder because personhood had been re-defined to exclude Jews and other undesirables. They were ‘simply following the laws of war and my flag.’
The experience of Nuremberg, the silent holocaust in our abortion clinics, the commitment of bioethicists and others to challenge and change the status of ‘personhood’ whereby we acknowledge that "some members of other species are persons: some members of our own species are not", the debate over euthanasia, stem cell research and more, all bear witness to the fact that the moral foundations of a nation can change if enough people say the same thing often enough.
Who will hold the line of moral truth? Who will define that line?
If we are silent, lies can end up as laws.
A community with a strong sense of morality, embraces self-limiting choices based on the good of others. It thinks past short terms gains and contemplates the impact of consequences on the next generation.

As you contemplate the plethora of moral issues that continue to confront our state, among them escalating violence, drugs and binge drinking, abortion, the legalisation of prostitution, the erosion of marriage and family, truth and sentencing laws, extended trading hours, euthanasia and global warming, think about your children, your grandchildren and the ones yet to be born.
