Where the Australian Christians stands — platform positions
15 position(s), each sourced exclusively from the party's own published materials (websites, platform documents, white papers) — never from media coverage. Where the party's own materials don't state a position, nothing is shown.
Immigration party platform
The party states Australia should continue being a welcoming country to migrants and refugees, but that citizenship should be sustainable and based on mutual agreement embracing core values and the rule of law; it also proposes a Special Assistance Visa category for persecuted Christians and other minorities.
Foreign policy & aid party platform
The party states support for building and maintaining adequate military preparedness to protect Australia's sovereignty and identity from external attack or internal subversion, and declares support for the State of Israel, including the return of hostages and minimisation of casualties in conflict.
Abortion & reproductive policy party platform
The party states human life is sacred from the moment of conception and that it opposes abortion as bringing harm to both mother and child; it commits to repealing amendments that approved abortion on demand up to birth, removed counselling for mothers, and denied protection for babies surviving abortion.
Voluntary assisted dying party platform
The party states that every person, from conception to old age and natural death, should enjoy the right to life within a caring society; it opposes euthanasia and supports better palliative care options.
Gender & LGBTQ+ policy party platform
The party states marriage is "not open to any combination" and advocates protecting biblical marriage; it describes the biological realities of male and female as non-negotiable, states there are better ways to support young people with gender dysphoria than medicalising them, opposes minors altering gender on official documents without parental consent, and opposes male athletes competing in female sports.
Religious freedom party platform
The party states it will defend freedom of religion, expression, worship, assembly and thought, protect religious freedom in schools by allowing them to employ staff who adhere to the school's values, and protect the right of parents to instruct and train their children according to the Bible.
Freedom of speech party platform
Australian Christians' Religious Freedom position lists a commitment to 'Defend freedom of religion, expression, worship, assembly and thought.' The party frames freedom of religion and conscience in biblical terms and publishes no separate free speech policy.
Drugs & law and order party platform
The party's Drugs and Alcohol Policy envisions a "Drug Free Australia" drawing on the Swedish model, taking a zero-tolerance stance toward illicit drugs while prioritising rehabilitation and liberation from addiction, supporting stringent pharmaceutical oversight of medical marijuana, and pointing to France's alcohol advertising ban as an example; the party also states government's primary responsibility is protecting citizens through just punishment and restitution to victims of crime.
Sex work decriminalisation party platform
The party's policy platform states it will drive implementation of legislation based on the Nordic Model, and it commits to combatting the link between pornography and sex trafficking, supporting trafficking survivors and heavier regulation of pornography including age verification laws.
First Nations & treaty party platform
The party states it will work alongside First Nations communities and local leaders to improve outcomes for Aboriginal children using culturally-appropriate methods and to reduce Indigenous suicide rates; it supports individualised sentencing for young people accounting for complex childhood trauma, urges caution on constitutional recognition, and warned the Voice to Parliament risked creating a de facto third chamber and entrenching racial division.
Integrity & anti-corruption party platform
The party states it believes in honesty and integrity, that it does not want hypocrisy, political correctness, coercion, spin or other forms of deception from leaders, and that it supports transparent, accountable governance with freedom of speech serving as a check against corruption and abuse by government officials.
Housing & planning party platform
The party's economic policy proposes improving housing affordability through zero stamp duty for eligible first home buyers and elderly downsizers, and supports increasing the foreign buyer surcharge on residential property.
Health party platform
The party's health policy states it will address hospital waitlists, repeal legislation it says undermines "the biological reality of binary genders," champion a "drug free Australia" through early intervention and rehabilitation, and oppose coercive vaccine mandates, which it says result in loss of personal autonomy and livelihoods; it also supports a Royal Commission into the handling of the Covid pandemic.
Education party platform
The party's education policy supports a curriculum focused on core basics and Judeo-Christian values, the right of religious schools to select staff and students who share the school's ethos, fair funding between public and private schools, parental school choice via vouchers and tax deductions for school fees, the right to home educate, and continued school chaplaincy placements.
Environment & water party platform
The party's environment policy states it will wisely steward the environment, ensure both economic viability and natural sustainability in resource development, and establish an independent, non-governmental scientific body to balance scientific, economic and community impacts when developing environmental policy.
