While individual organisations and churches affiliated with the alliance
are each engaged in their own respective activities and ministries, the
National Alliance For Christian Leadership has drawn such groups and individuals
together on a national scale on issues of universal and national importance,
both to the Christian community and the Australian public generally. Among
issues widely pursued by NACL and affiliated bodies were the following.
THE BILL OF RIGHTS
Organisations affiliated with the National Alliance of Christian Leaders
played a decisive role in the defeat ' of the discredited Bill of Rights.
Not only were Australians and political and religious leaders informed
of the dangerous procedural and ill-defined contents of the Bill, based
on UN covenants largely compiled by communist and third world dictatorships,
but people were also warned of the far reaching religious and social engineering
outgrowths of the Bill.
In addition to having one of the worlds foremost Human Rights authorities
brought to Australia, over 15,000 Christian and community leaders were
contacted by affiliated groups. The consequence of this nation wide campaign
brought a flood of letters of protest to Federal Parliament, such that
the corridors of parliament house were literally stacked with mailbags.
THE AUSTRALIA CARD
The National Alliance for Christian Leadership also played a significant
role in warning Politicians, Christians and other Australians about the
dangerous orwellian styled agenda underlying the Australia card. Affiliated
organisations not only widely distributed material outlining the Big Brother
and intrusive mindset underlying the Australia Card, but also supported
other groups by helping to organise public rallies for members of parliament
and privacy bodies working against the Australia Card.
The Card legislation was dropped following the discovery of a serious
flaw In the Act that necessitated further Senate approval that would be
withheld.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
The National Alliance for Christian Leadership also closely monitored
developments associated with proposed Constitutional changes, in the knowledge
that our peoples constitution restrained government power and provided
the necessary checks and balances and division of powers essential to
a true democracy.
The constitution is the only protection Australians have against growing
centralised government power and control, and against the Intrusive international
sociological agenda underlying many United Nations Covenants and Treaties.
Many of which are specifically formulated to subvert national independence
and sovereignty.
The National Executive of NACL became concerned at the way the external
powers aspect of the Constitution was being used to serve internal political
ends, and the drift towards a political mindset that sought to change
the Constitution, "reinterpret" It, or simply Ignore it. Having
been counseled by human rights authorities, and informed Constitutional
lawyers and Barristers, the alliance resolved to oppose all changes proposed
by the federal government.
A Constitutional Convention was held by the alliance in the National Capital
on the day following the first reading of the Acts concerning proposed
changes. Following a lengthy evaluation of the Acts, the alliance resolved
to actively campaign against these changes, outlining precisely why a
NO vote must be canvassed on all four proposals. A constitutional committee
was appointed to direct activities and to provide relevant information
to the public, and to inform political and community leaders.
THE NATIONAL GATHERING
Australia's foremost Christian organisations and churches were involved
in the NATIONAL GATHERING at Canberra to celebrate the opening of the
new Parliament House. The National Alliance For Christian Leadership joined
with Fusion, Youth With a Mission, and the International Ministries of
Ten Thousand Men to draw the Australian Christian community together,
with strong support coming from all denominational leaders. The NATIONAL
GATHERING was, according to police reports, attended by fully 40 - 50,
000 Christians, more people than attended the official opening itself
CREATION SCIENCE
Following a disclosure that the anti-creationist lobby in Australia, was
being marshaled primarily by groups connected with Humanist, Socialist
and Communist spawned parent bodies in the United States and elsewhere,
the Alliance resolved to take a closer look at issues surrounding the
creation /evolution debate.
An extended evaluation of the scientific, theological, social and long
term political Implications of the creation/evolution controversy has
been undertaken, along with a detailed investigation of the principle
individuals and groups involved with the anti-creationist movement In
Australia and the United States.
A two year in depth investigation has caused NACL to conclude that the
creation /evolution Issue involves far more than science. This has far-reaching
religious, social and political Implications not only in regard to the
future wellbeing of the Christian faith, but also In regard to basic democratic
freedoms.
