Growing a Nation of Hope is the Uniting Church National Assembly’s Federal Election resource for 2007. It invites you to consider your vote through the vision and values of the gospel of hope. The material is non-partisan, and is a collaborative project grounded in the work of the National Assembly and the broader Uniting Church.

Below you will find the issues booklet, including a theological reflection and an election toolkit, and a series of hot issues briefs. Also below are a set of more in-depth issues papers, and some information to help congregations organise Election events and candidate forums.

GetUp - Promise Watch

Don’t you just hate it that every time an election comes around politicians try to woo you with a million promises that seem to disappear into thin air as soon as they get elected? This year, GetUp is putting an end to all that. Welcome to our new initiative - Promise Watch - our own ‘wiki’ to make sure all promises are core.

www.getup.org.au/PromiseWatch

This election season you can log every campaign promise that is made. Whether you hear it at your local community hall, read it online or have it shoved into your letterbox, we want you to log it on our new site!

Together we can hold the future Prime Minister - and every other MP and Senator - accountable for promises made. As soon as the new government is formed the Promise Watch clock will start ticking and together we will make sure they deliver on a progressive Australia.
