Social policy of Victorian political parties
Home Glossary Disclaimer Site map Contact me	This page is a work in progress. It tracks the progress of major Victorian political parties on social policy issues. In some cases, I have not attempted to classify a policy; I simply let the parties' words speak for themselves. Party abbrev Gay civil unions Legal abortion Safe injecting rooms Legal street prostitution Voluntary euthanasia IVF for lesbian couples Other Australian Democrats Dems Australian Greens Greens support support support support Australian Labor Party ALP no action no action no action no action no action It is telling that official ALP policy is to legalse abortion, but that this has not been legislated despite ample opportunity to do so. Citizen's Electoral Council CEC I'd love to tell you about their policies, but their web site was awful and I couldn't find any! Democratic Labor Party DLP unclear oppose abolish Human Rights & Equal Opp Commission "Honesty from public authorities as to the incidence of HIV-AIDS in Australia being overwhelmingly a homosexual disease and honest endeavours by Federal and State governments to inform and educate the community as to the primary cause for its spread  -  non-monogamous and promiscuous sexual practices." -taken from the DLP web site in early December 2006. However, the DLP has since made noises to suggest that they may support legislation to end discrimination against same-sex couples in superannuation and inheritance laws. Family First FF oppose oppose "Family grows out of heterosexual relationships between men and women. Family life flourishes when couples strive for stable commitment to sexual fidelity to each other." Awwwwww, that's sooooo sweet... it's a pity it's so fucking discriminatory. Liberal Party LP There appeared to be very little social policy material on the Liberal Party web site. National Party NP People Power sack 20,000 public servants		See also: More information:
