Four of the five candidates responded, however No Land Tax candidate Clyde Archard could not be contacted. 

AS CHRISTIANS all candidates and parliamentarians believe in having a clear conscience before God and man and we try to live this out in our personal and professional lives.

We will never change our mind on fundamental issues such as traditional marriage and the right to life from conception to natural death because we believe that these issues are given to all humans alike like the facts of mathematics which are not open for our own interpretation or desire to change them.

We campaign clearly and unambiguously on the issues we stand for, e.g. one law code for all Australians and no halal tax on Australian foods, and are committed to voting according to these commitments should we gain the privilege of representing you in parliament.

It is only with your vote however that we have a chance to prove this.

But, in Fred Nile's 33 years of parliamentary service he has never been called before any ICAC inquiry to defend any questionable conduct. 

In fact he has always enjoyed bipartisan support, has been asked to chair numerous committees by both sides of politics and was called by Bob Carr the "most conscientious legislator" in 2004.

CLEAN politics is a major part or our campaign slogan with Clean Air and Clean Water.  

Corruption and influence peddling corrode democracy by destroying public confidence and undermining belief in the ability of government and the political process to act for the common good.  

There have been too many examples over recent years of both major parties being called before ICAC.  

Greens have never been called before ICAC.  

It was Greens policy that was the basis of much of the current banning of all parties from accepting donations from businesses that have a vested interest in government decisions including developers and those in industries involved in alcohol, gaming and racing.  

The Greens party does not accept donations from any businesses but only from individual donors so that we do not have anyone with expectations of favourable decisions in their interest.  

The Greens propose a system where a donor and a political party are each obliged to immediately declare all donations from the donor once the total exceeds $1000 in any one financial year.  

Electoral expenditure of $1000 or more should also appear on a public website maintained by the electoral Office.  

These actions are the way to restore public confidence in governments.

VOTERS are rightly concerned about the lack of openness and transparency in government at all levels. 

Anyone who has followed the saga of the Independent Commission Against Corruption in recent years will have been appalled by elements of corruption from both major parties.

Apart from personal greed, the need for parties to spend more and more money on elections and the influence buying of big corporations has been at the heart of the problem.

I am not aligned to any faction or group within my own party and, if elected, I intend to remain independent. 

I fully support the public funding of elections and any other reform that removes the influence of lobbyists.

Personally, I commit to publishing online each month all of my meetings, including who they are with and on what topic, the exception being on matters of a personal and private nature involving a constituent.

THE Baird Government is cleaning up politics in NSW.

Earlier this month, the Premier released the government’s response to the final report of the Panel of Experts on Political Donations, where we have given in principle support to 49 of the panel’s 50 recommendations.

They include:

* Improved governance of political parties;

* Tighter expenditure limits for third-party campaigners;

* Real-time, online disclosure of pre-election donations;

* A comprehensive review of the relevant legislation; and

* Increased roles for the Electoral Commission and Auditor General.

The Baird Government has also delivered on its commitment to publish Ministerial diaries. 

The diary summaries, made public every quarter, are of scheduled meetings held by Ministers with external persons who seek to influence government policy or decisions.

The diary summaries include the date, purpose and organisations or individuals in meetings, including details of any registered lobbyists.

We are determined to restore the public’s trust in our political process, and we call on Labor’s frontbenchers to join us and publish their diaries.
