September 6 is just around the corner and it is important that Christians are well prepared for the WA election. Deputy Premier Eric Ripper and Opposition Leader Colin Barnett have agreed to attend an event called 'Make it Count' at Burswood Grand Ballroom on Wednesday, September 3, 7.00 pm. This is an historic event, being the first time both the Leader of the Opposition and Deputy Premier in WA have agreed to attend an event to exclusively address the Christian constituency. It is important that churches across WA recognize this as a not-to-be missed opportunity to prove to politics, the media and the wider community the strong interest of Christians in the good governance of our State.
In addition to this, ACL has organized for candidates from many different electorates across WA to meet with the Christians in their community. These are called 'Meet Your Candidate Forums' and it is important that they are well attended for two reasons: Firstly, Christians need to know the values of the person they are voting for and secondly, Members of Parliament and candidates need to see the Christian constituency as large and active, and worth considering when creating policy.
For info on where Meet Your Candidate Forums are being held and for the date and time of Make it Count, log on to ACL's WA Votes website: www.wavotes.org.au. This website will also include the Parties' positions on a range of issues and how MP's have voted on important pieces of legislation.
Contact waoffice@acl.org.au or 9221 0655 if you have any further questions.
The Australian Christian Lobby is a non-denominational, non party partisan lobby group and their vision is to see Christian principles and ethics accepted and influencing the way we are governed, do business, and relate to each other as a community.
