The Democratic Labor Party is neither ‘Left’ nor ‘Right’ as people usually understand those words in Australian politics. Unlike the ALP, it is not dictated to by unions and unlike the Liberal Party, it does not seek to serve the interests of big business.
A basic element of DLP philosophy is that the interests of Australians may be best served by preserving, protecting and building on the family. It is a fundamental policy of the Democratic Labor Party to support a responsible elected government that will promote social and economic justice, a fair and decent society for families and a sense of national direction that will help to make Australia prosperous, self-reliant and secure.
If you feel that average Australians have lost their voice,
that our manufacturing sector is under siege,
that family values have gone down the gurgler;
if you support Australian made,
if you prefer local produce,
if you believe in industrial democracy and worker co-operatives,
if you think that common sense needs to be brought back to our Parliament,
if you believe that local people should decide local issues,
then the Democratic Labor Party is the party for you.
