About the
National Marriage Coalition
The National Marriage Coalition (NMC) was
formed in July of 2004. The Coalition aims to act as a national clearing house
for information on, and activism about, the institutions of marriage and family.
It will feature research and other information on its web site, hold national
conferences, and produce publications as needed. It will work with existing
organisations in seeking to uphold and support marriage, the most fundamental of
Australian institutions. Founding members of the NMC are the Australian
Christian Lobby, the Australian Family Association, and the Fatherhood
Foundation.

About the
Australian Christian Lobby
The
Australian Christian Lobby is a non denominational lobby group whose vision is
to see Christian principles and ethics accepted and influence the way we are
governed, do business and relate to each other as a community. The Australian
Christian Lobby is one of Australia’s fastest growing political organisations.
Its primary objective is to encourage governments to promote family
values. It is deeply concerned to
see the institution of marriage preserved and strengthened. The Australian

About the
Fatherhood Foundation
Founded in 2002, the Fatherhood Foundation
is an independent non-partisan, non-profit, charitable association, with a goal
to inspire men to a greater level of excellence as fathers, by encouraging and
educating them, thereby renewing and empowering families.
The Fatherhood Foundation publishes a weekly email titled,
“fathersonline.org” and holds an annual national conference on fatherhood,
fatherhood forums, seminars, courses to help men priotitise their family
relationships and national policy documents on father-friendly government
policy. The Fatherhood Foundation
believes that marriage is the best way for children and fathers to be connected
in a loving, stable relationship.
Consequently marriage needs the full protection of both government and society.
