Recently the FamilyVoice SA sent surveys to 327 candidates in the upcoming South Australia state election, canvassing their policies regarding the critical family values issues of abortion law, child porn, same-sex relationship registers, euthanasia, prostitution, child abuse, cannabis, and poker machines.
All three of the Family First SA candidates got 100 points out of 100 possible for their total commitment in each of these areas. That is compared to the paltry 40 points the ALP managed to score, with 52 points for the Liberal Party, and 74 points for the Shooters Party. Many other parties did not even respond to the survey so earned only zeros, including the Greens, and the Independents reaped a range of scores, which reflected their personal stands on these issues.
The mainstream media do not frequently address such issues, so the FamilyVoice SA survey and its results offer key information to South Australian voters to assist them with making the right choices for selecting who should be responsible for representing their family values in government. I am glad to see that Family First came out on top.
In a statement to the ACL, Family First says that they recognise that Australia has a rich Christian heritage, and acknowledge the Christian foundations of our legal and parliamentary systems. They say that Christians should have an important voice, and that people of faith can play a valuable role in the democratic process.
