Policies

The Democratic Labour Party's policies are shaped by our commitment to the Judeo-Christian values of Australia, underpinning our principles of life and liberty, fairness and families. We have been the only party to oppose the extremes of radical Socialism and rampant Capitalism since the 1950s. We base all our policies on three important questions:

Is it good for the family? Is it good for the worker? And is it good for the community? Our federal policies are available here.
