Western Australian

State General Election

11 March 2017
1 Introduction
Western Australia faces a state election on 11 March
2017. Media coverage leading up to the election is
focussing largely on economic matters. State debt,
taxation of the mining industry, major infrastructure
projects, the sale of government assets and the
expansion of public transport are featuring heavily
in day-to-day media coverage. Indeed, economic
management is a matter of great importance for our
state. Many people connected to the building and
resources industries have felt the effects of the
economic downturn. A well-running economy which
provides us with employment is important in allowing
us to provide for our families and support other
activities in Gods Kingdom.
But theres more to this election. We all like plenty
of jobs, more police and new railway lines, but what
about the fundamental, long-term questions which
extend beyond the short-term political cycle? Is
anyone going to address them? What will the future
impact be of mounting state debt? Why, in one of the
most beautiful and wealthy parts of the world, do we
have a massive drug problem? Is our pursuit of 24/7
consumerism coming at a social cost? Who will stand
up for the most vulnerable in our state, the unborn
and elderly? Every day, more than 20 unborn children
in Western Australia are murdered. Who will defend
them? Calls for access to euthanasia are growing
louder, and draft legislation to allow it may well be
presented to this parliament. Who will stand up
against it? Vocal minorities are pushing radical sexual
agendas in an increasingly intolerant manner. Who will
compassionately but firmly defend Biblical principles
on marriage and sexuality? Will anyone dare to even
use Gods Word in the public sphere? Its with these
additional questions in mind that we as Christian
voters go to the polls.
Across the Western World, politics is becoming more
fragmented and less predictable. There seems to be
increasing disillusionment with the status quo, and a
widening gulf between progressive and conservative
parties. While Western Australia is sheltered from
much of this, some effects can already be seen at
play here. One of these is a massive increase in the
number of parties contesting this election. A total of
16 parties are putting their hat in the ring this year, up
from just seven in 2013.
For Christian voters, the choice between the two major parties, Liberal and Labor,
is less straightforward than it once was. Although the Liberal party is opposed
to funding radical gender theory in schools and supports the right of Christian
schools to hire Christian teachers, it has also backtracked on two promises. One
was the promise to introduce specific fetal homicide laws, and the other was to
honour the last referendum on Sunday trading. Liberal Premier Colin Barnett has
pledged to continue deregulating Sunday trading if he wins this election.
Politicians opinions on euthanasia and abortion cannot be clearly divided along
party lines. Individual members within both major parties have varying stances,
including some Liberal and Labor members who are distinctly pro-life. On
balance, however, the Labor party is becoming more socially radical. Last years
resignation of Federal Senator Joe Bullock, a former powerbroker in WA Labor, is
indicative of the direction in which Labor is heading. Mr Bullock quit after Labors
National Conference decided that by 2019 Labor members would have to vote
with the party, not their conscience, in favour of same-sex marriage.
In evaluating candidates for this election guide, the life issues of abortion
and euthanasia are at the forefront of our assessment. This is not because
we want to perpetuate single-issue or reactionary politics. Indeed, Christian
politics is not limited to these two issues, for Gods Word is relevant and
applicable to all areas of life. However, we believe that we cannot in good
conscience give our first vote to a candidate who is not willing to oppose either
of these two clear evils, where an alternative candidate exists. Although
marriage itself is a Federal matter, a willingness to defend the family from
efforts to both weaken marriage and redefine Biblical gender norms has also
featured in our assessment.
We have so much to be thankful for in Western Australia. In comparison to many
western countries, and even other Australian states, our laws on moral issues are
still relatively conservative. We are able to worship, preach, run Christian schools
and conduct outreach and evangelism in freedom. We have some Christian
members in state parliament who are defending the unborn and striving to bring
Biblical principles to bear in the formation of their partys policies. Finally, our
voting system makes voting for minor parties a viable option because it allows us
to vote preferentially. This means that if we vote for a minor party, and our
candidate does not poll highly enough, our vote can be re-allocated to another
candidate and party of our choice. In this way, a Christian vote is not wasted like it
is in countries where voters can only nominate one preferred candidate.
It is our prayer that this guide assists you in making a
well-considered, Christian vote in this state election.
We commend the outcome of this election and the future of
our state into the safe hands of our Almighty and loving God.

House of Review
The Legislative Council, or upper house, is elected on a
different basis because it is a house of review. If our parliament
only had one house, the governing party could pass anything
it wanted to. The Legislative Council prevents this from
happening, because its 36 members are elected from 6
multi-member regions using a system called proportional
representation. Under this system, if a party receives 30% of
the formal vote, they can expect to receive 30% of the seats
for that region. It is in the Legislative Council that minor parties
often have more success with their candidates, and where rural
areas receive greater representation.

The 36 members of the Legislative Council are elected for a

fixed term of four years.

Daylight Saving Party
The Daylight Saving Party has as its aim the introduction of
Daylight Saving Time in Western Australia. They intend to focus
on issues related to outdoor activities, recreation, and lifestyle.
Family First Party
The Family First Party seeks to uphold the traditional family
and is focused on strong values. While sharing many policies
with parties such as the Australian Christians, they are not an
overtly Christian party.
GOOD POLICY
Family First promotes and supports marriage over de facto
cohabitation.
We believe that marriage at its essence and by definition is
between a man and a woman to the exclusion of others for
life.
Family First recognizes the moral, social and economic
importance of the family home.
We recognise, respect and affirm the right of parents to
choose a school for their children in which values that align
with their own are affirmed and promoted.
We support giving local school autonomy: giving school
principals and school councils freedom to appoint staff
and make decisions around school development projects.
We believe in the right to life and are distressed at the
abortion of 100,000 unborn babies in Australia each year.
Family First rejects euthanasia.
Fluoride Free WA Party
The Fluoride Free WA Party aims to end the fluoridation of
drinking water in Western Australia. More broadly, they label
themselves as pro-people, pro-choice, and pro-environment.
Julie Matheson for Western Australia
This party, recently established by Julie Matheson, aims to put
WA first in all policies. This includes retaining all GST in WA, and
generally trying to cut red tape.
GOOD POLICY
Ban gambling advertisements on WA TV.
Liberal Democratic Party
Not to be confused with the Liberal Party, the LDP seeks
smaller government and highlights individual freedom and
responsibility. They are generally pro-freedom, but also pro-
choice on issues such as drug use and euthanasia.
GOOD POLICY
Freedom of speech and expression.
Freedom of association, assembly and movement.
BAD POLICY
Believes children should be adopted into a loving, stable and safe
environment, irrespective of the marital status, gender or any
other irrelevant attributes of the adopters.
The LDP believes the Australian electorate is willing to accept
same-sex marriage on simple fairness grounds.
Freedom over ones body includes freedom to take ones own life
(and to assist others to do so)
Legalising the recreational use of marijuana by adults in all
jurisdictions of Australia.
Micro Business Party
This party is aimed at promoting policies that benefit small businesses.
Most of their policies are centred around this, with a few ancillary policies
including the repeal of Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act.
GOOD POLICY
Oppose any expansion in the availability
of poker machines in Western Australia.
Increase protection for whistle-blowers and restore the basic
human right of freedom of speech
The Nationals
The Nationals Western Australia party are dedicated to fighting
for the communities of regional WA. Their policies largely address
building more regional infrastructure, attracting workers to remote
communities and supporting local industries. Their focus in this
election will be on returning the State Budget to surplus and
strengthening economic development by overhauling WAs iron
ore State Agreements. They do not have published policy positions
on most ethical issues of concern to Christians, which makes the
moral character of each individual candidate very important for
preferencing. Although not in a formal coalition arrangement with
the WA Liberals, as exists on a federal level, the Nationals WA often
hold the balance of power and traditionally support the WA Liberals.

Election Q&A
Q1 Why is ARPA generally
recommending candidates
from Australian Christians?
ARPA assesses candidates and parties based
on our own research, with assistance from other
organisations. They are assessed based on
their values in regards to abortion, euthanasia,
sexuality, Christian liberty, pornography,
environmental stewardship, freedom of speech
and a compassionate but responsible approach to
assisting the disadvantaged. In most cases the
result of this assessment is that ARPA recommends
giving your first vote to a member of the Australian
Christians party and, when it comes to the major
parties, preferencing Liberal before Labor. However,
there are exceptions. ARPA is not affiliated with any
political party and does not necessarily endorse
all of the Australian Christians policies. We also
acknowledge that we will have ecclesiastical
differences with many candidates. However, we
believe that church and state are institutionally
separate. The primary role of the government is to
allow the Church to carry out its ministry by creating
conditions of peace; restraining evil and protecting
good. While the government may not rule the church,
it does make rulings on moral issues which directly
impact the church. We believe it is possible to take a
strong, combined stance on these issues together
with other Christians even though we may not always
agree with each other on ecclesiastical matters.
Q2 If I vote for a minor party
candidate am I just wasting
my vote?
The preferential voting system means that voting for
a minor party in Western Australia does not waste
your vote. The procedure for each house of parliament
varies, but with Lower House (Legislative Assembly)
seats, which typically go to either Labor or Liberal/
National candidates, you can safely vote for a minor
party candidate as your first preference. This is
because if your first candidate is excluded from the
count your vote is passed on at full value to your next
preferred candidate. A lower
house candidate will only be
elected if they have gained
an absolute majority (over
50%) of all votes cast. Voting
for a Christian candidate in
the lower house, even if your
vote ultimately flows on to a
major party candidate, sends
a strong message about the
Christian population in that
constituency. It can also allow
Christian parties to exercise
some leverage on major
party policies in exchange
for preferences and become
eligible for government funding
for future election campaigns.
In the upper house (Legislative Council) candidates from minor parties
stand a very real chance of getting elected. This is because in the
Legislative Council Western Australia is represented by just 6 regions, and
each region elects multiple members. This, combined with a quota-based
counting system, means the Legislative Council is much more favourable
to minor parties.
Q3 What is the likelihood of a minor
party getting voted in?
A party like Australian Christians has little chance of winning a Legislative
Assembly seat. On the Legislative Council ballot paper, however, Christian
voters in one region can all vote for the same candidate and give them a
realistic chance of winning a seat. It is this position, namely a Legislative
Council seat, that minor parties like the Greens, Shooters, Fishers and
Farmers, One Nation and the Australian Christians seek to gain. Christian
parties of various persuasions have in the past come extremely close to
winning Legislative Council seats.
Q4 Im concerned about the environment.
Should I vote for the Greens?
Caring for the environment is a noble aim, especially since God calls us
to be stewards of the earth. But while the Greens maintain an image of
environmental concern, many of their policies are blatantly anti-Christian
and their stance on moral issues makes them one of the more dangerous
political parties.
