thread_title:  Factual Accuracy? 

message: The paragraph about CDP MLC representation has been restored and corrected, as has the bibliographic reference to Niles biography as the source. Also, I fail to see why the original whole paragraph and biography were deleted. Surely Niles' own biography must constitute a valid source of independent documentation, and it does record those specified events.

:Calibanu you are getting John Hannaford who was a Liberal member of the NSW Legislative Council mixed up with John Bradford, the former Liberal Member of the House of Reps for McPherson. This extract from a press release (no longer up on the CDP website, but still viewable here [] states it was Bradford and not Hannaford. So I am going to change it now, and if you can provide a better reference other than a link to the front page of the CDP website to suggest I am wrong, then by all means change it back.
:The Christian Democratic Party (CDP) Council announce their endorsement of Mr John Bradford to take Elaine Nile's place in the NSW Legislative Council.' 
:Mr. Bradford has had a long association with the Fred Nile and the CDP. He was Federal Member for the Gold Coast based seat of McPherson from 1990 until 1998. In 1998 he resigned from the Liberal Party to contest a Senate seat for the CDP. He has been active in rebuilding the Queensland CDP State Branch as Queensland CDP Coordinator.

thread_title: Nile and Other MLC Representatives

message: I made an edit to this article, which was deleted within hours, but which I feel should have been retained. Paragraph 3 reads: 'It (the CDP) has little support among Catholics or outside NSW' to which I added '..although the party does enjoy a measure of support in Western Australia.' Perhaps this could be worded differently, but it is in fact true. I provide the comparative statistics below:
CDP Election Results
Australian Federal Election 2004
House of Representatives
NSW - 1.22%
WA  - 2.25%
Senate
NSW - 2.61%
WA  - 1.88%
NSW State Election 2003
Legislative Assembly - 1.73%
Legislative Council  - 3%
WA State Election 2005
Legislative Assembly - 2.93%
Legislative Council  - 2.28%
These results demonstrate that the CDP's progress in WA is comparable to that of NSW. It's true that their support in the rest of the country is significantly lower than in NSW or WA. The WA results are probably more impressive than in NSW given that a)The party's base and its leadership is centred in NSW. b) The party has an advantage in NSW given that it has elected representatives in Parliament, yet despite this it doesn't poll any better in NSW than WA.
c) The only reason the CDP has managed to continually win seats in NSW but not WA, is the favourable electoral system in NSW (ie. Upper House quota in NSW - 4.55%, Upper House quota in WA ranges between 12.5% & 16.6% depending upon seat).  --Mrodowicz 18:44, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Political position 

message: In the current WA Election campaign, there is an "Australian Christians" party on the ballot.  This seems to have been formed by the WA and Vic CDP branches splitting off into their own party: http://australianchristians.com.au/cdp/  It says they also plan to expand into Tasmania, SA and Qld.  Is this worth mentioning somewhere in the article? --James (talk) 04:20, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Absolutely. I hadn't realised they had a page explicitly outlining what the deal was between the CDP and AC (for a while there I couldn't find any confirmation that they were affiliated). Frickeg (talk) 22:29, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

message: Definitely not wanting to sound irreverent but the info box says colours are silver (official) and blue (costumary) - is that meant to be customary or do they indeed wear blue costumes? (There is precedent for some parties to wear their colours.) JennyOz (talk) 06:05, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Good catch! I'm a little dubious on the whole thing actually - I've had a quick google and haven't found anything to say that silver is the "official" colour. Most parties, I suspect, don't have one (we have always used purple for the CDP, mainly because it differentiates them best from all the other parties and purple has often been used as a Christian party colour overseas).
