Submissions
The vision of the Australian Christian Lobby 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. As part of its facilitation between the church and state, when governments and institutions asks for perspectives on legislation or issues by conducting inquiries, ACL writes a submission addressing the inquiry’s terms of reference. Some of the legislation and issues include outdoor advertising, abortion, marriage, people trafficking, problem gambling and much more. You can read past submissions below.
