The NSW Synod of the Uniting Church in Australia is committed to social justice. The church assesses public policy against the requirements of civil and political rights, and of economic, social and cultural rights. The common good requires that these rights be taken into account in all policy formation. It requires that there be a strong independent monitor of human rights within the nation.

As Christian people, we are called to seek the common good. Our Christian faith drives us to consider public issues. We look out for other people's interests as well as our own. The Uniting church in Australia has expressed this in its various statements and resolutions about social justice. The church assesses public policy against the requirements of internationally recognised human rights. The common good requires that these human rights be taken into account in all policy formation. While expressed as human rights, they involve responsibilities for governments and those who elect them. Any political party putting itself forward at the next election (March 27, 1999) should clearly indicate its social objectives and show how it will monitor progress.
