Founded in 1980, the Australian Family Association is a not-for-profit, voluntary, and non-partisan political organisation formed to provide a forum and vehicle for individuals and organisations in the community concerned with the strengthening and support of the family.
Our values as an organisation: the National Civic Council seeks to empower individuals, families and small businesses to build a healthy, flourishing, prosperous society for all Australians, based on careful analysis of how to improve on our nation’s current policies. We stand for the family, for human dignity and for an independent, free nation.
If the government can support China’s Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, why can’t Australia have its own Development Bank?
Surrogacy itself is inherently wrong, since it involves the premeditated intention to separate a child from his or her birth-mother.
Three decades of damaging rural policies – infrastructure neglect, deregulation, bank finance, the Murray-Darling Basin Plan, radical free trade – have contributed to a man-made drought across the Murray-Darling Basin. How can we fix this?
The current system financially discriminates against families who make their own choices about how they raise their family – including the use of childcare, who works outside the home and when, and how many children a couple chooses to have.
Our contributions to the abortion bills debated in various State Parliaments around Australia from 2016 onwards.
We delve into the push for transgender “rights” and how the law was changed in Australia in 2013 so that transgenders could now legally access those areas previously set aside for the opposite sex and criminalised denying transgenders access to facilities ordained for the opposite sex.

Philosophers tend to read other philosophers in a haphazard way. They embrace the ideas of predecessors that they like and ignore the ideas they don’t like, especially troubling paradoxical ideas. Kierkegaard is an obvious victim of this tendency: philosophers after him emphasised some of his ideas and neglected others. As a result, he has been unjustly associated with the atheist presupposition that existence precedes essence. In particular, Kierkegaard’s emphasis on the individual’s need to create his own life has been abstracted from its essentialist basis. But Kierkegaard was insistent: a person is not free to construct any life for himself.…
By Peter Billington In an attempt to get the Australian Defence Force (ADF) to actually quote the Army’s manpower in Western Australia, I submitted an FOI application on September 27, 2020, requesting information related to the Army Reserve Units in WA: The name and location of each unit. The structural strength of each unit. The present/actual strength of each unit. The number of any permanent Army personnel in each unit. All manner of security reasons have been given to explain why this could not be provided; now the request has been sent for external review. Most of the information requested…
Socialist-Left Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews looks set to ride out the latest scandals that have surrounded his Government, including the expulsion of an Indian-born Labor MP who crossed the floor to vote against the Government on the infamous Red Shirts affair, allegations of bullying of the MP by a member of Mr Andrews’ staff, and further claims that this person was still active in the Victorian Socialist Left. The recent events follow the Red Shirts affair, when ALP members who were employed as staff by the Government to conduct electoral duties were instead working on the Labor Party’s election campaign…
On top of the inevitability of death and taxes, one might also note that the tendency to centralise seems ever present. And while death and taxation come for us all, need it be that centralisation does too? Curiously enough, one might suggest that death and taxation are the two biggest threats against centralisation – sadly, centralisation in no way saves us from tax bills and the final breath. What is centralisation? We might begin with a definition and then move to an image. The definition from the Cambridge Dictionary: “the act or process of centralising a system, company, country, etc;…
The key to international trade is mutual benefit. Australia and Taiwan have complementary economies that ensure the need for each other’s products. One of the first acts of the Whitlam Labor government in 1972 was to break ties with the Republic of China on Taiwan (ROC) and recognise the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The…

The National Civic Council (NCC) has published News Weekly for over 80 years. NCC President Patrick J Byrne says that in the 21st Century, our first task is to present comprehensive post-Covid19 economic policies, based on the NCC’s five primacies.
These policies are to build industries that strategically strengthen Australia, reduce Australia’s reliance on China and provide well-paid jobs that rebuild the struggling middle class, nourish the family and make families independent of the welfare state.
Second, the NCC’s task is to expose and counter four key hostile ideologies in defence of human life and the family, inherent human rights and Australia as an independent, free nation:
