PETER ARENA (CHRISTIAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY)

I have been associate with the Christian democratic Party the late 80’s when I M’Ceed for Rev.Fred on a number of occasions.
I’m privileged to be running under the Hon Paul Green.MLC & Rev.Hon Fred Nile E.D,L.th,MLC
They Are the party Leaders respectively in the Lower & Upper House of Parliament.
Fred Nile has often been called the Watch Dog of Parliament and as we know as of late there have been so many allegations of corruption on
Both sides of the House. Parliament needs a watch dog who has served for over 33 years without compromising His Integrity.
Some of the bills that many people may realise are due to the Christian democrats amongst them :_
1. The restrictions against the advertising of Cigarette/Tobacco, Smoking in public buildings & cars
2.the first Laws Prohibiting child pornography in NSW
3.select Committee on the Impact of gambling.
There is a list of 28 Bills accredited to the CDP from 1981 till 2014.
Me Personally I’ve been a committed Christian for over 30 years.
I believe in honesty & fairness for all .
I value what this country stands for and has to offer.
There are a number of local issues That I’m passionate about! The Port Stephens area needs a proper fully equipped & staffed hospital.
We also need more Police on our streets. We need an educational programme for our Youth to instil some direction & moral values.
I have some ideas to pursue on all of the above.
