“I’ve been called a<br />
racist, a bigot, homophobe,<br />
Islamaphobe<br />
but I would never want<br />
to be called a politician,”<br />
Mr Robinson<br />
said.<br />
“That’s one of the<br />
lowest words you can<br />
call anyone. It’s time<br />
for a democratic disruption,<br />
time to vote<br />
career politicians out.”<br />
Mr Robinson spent<br />
the first 30 years of his<br />
life in Willoughby and<br />
attended Marist Brothers<br />
North Shore in Miller<br />
Street, North Shore.<br />
After completing<br />
studies at UNSW, he<br />
specialised in orthopaedic<br />
surgery and<br />
continues to work as<br />
an orthopaedic surgeon<br />
in various states.<br />
Tony has strong family<br />
ties to Sydney and if<br />
elected, will relocate to<br />
the seat of Bennelong.<br />
Tony is married with<br />
three adult children<br />
and a recent grandfather.<br />
He was a proud supporter<br />
of the North<br />
Sydney Rugby League<br />
Bears, unfortunately<br />
now defunct.<br />
Mr Robinson was<br />
seething over the Liberal<br />
Party’s decision to<br />
place him last on their<br />
‘how to vote’ materials.<br />
He said the Liberal<br />
Party was effectively<br />
playing a game of “diversified<br />
multi-brand<br />
marketing” and this<br />
represented a new<br />
strategy in politics:<br />
“You produce one<br />
product and sell it under<br />
different brands.”<br />
“Strategists at the<br />
LNP dangle the Nationals<br />
as a carrot for<br />
country voters, while<br />
Australian Conservatives<br />
is the brand for<br />
frustrated, conservative<br />
Liberals,” he said.<br />
“In the end, it all ends<br />
up with Team Turnbull.<br />
Ever wondered why in<br />
2016 - and again in the<br />
Bennelong by-election<br />
- the Liberals put ALA<br />
last on their HTV cards,<br />
behind Labor, Greens<br />
and hard-left activist<br />
groups?”<br />
Mr Robinson said<br />
that in contrast, the<br />
Liberals and Australian<br />
Conservatives were<br />
preferencing eachother,<br />
with Fred Nile’s CDP<br />
“as the middle token.”<br />
“A vote for the Australian<br />
Conservatives<br />
means more of the<br />
same for the old boys,<br />
who pull the strings at<br />
LNP headquarters,” he<br />
said.<br />
“And more of the<br />
same for Australia:<br />
More Islam, globalisation,<br />
bureaucracy,<br />
immigration, welfareshoppers,<br />
political<br />
correctness and more<br />
public debt.”<br />
Tony Robinson encourages<br />
voters in<br />
Bennelong to vote 1<br />
for ALA and adds: “The<br />
preferences are up to<br />
each voter to decide.<br />
Today Liberals and Labor<br />
are both bad choices<br />
for our country.”<br />
The ALA’s website<br />
says the party’s members<br />
are “civic-minded<br />
Australians” who cannot<br />
remain passive<br />
while “damage is done<br />
to our nation, our communities<br />
and our families.”<br />
It says members of<br />
Australian Liberty Alliance<br />
make a stand for<br />
what is right, just and<br />
not negotiable; values<br />
our forefathers worked<br />
and died for.<br />
“We give civic-minded<br />
Australians the opportunity<br />
to become<br />
part of a new movement,<br />
a political party<br />
that offers Australian<br />
voters a new vision<br />
and hope for the future.”<br />

Christian voters respond to Christian<br />
Democrats religious freedom policies<br />
RELIGIOUS freedom has emerged as a key issue for Christians in the lead up to this<br />
Saturday’s election day in Bennelong.<br />
The Weekly Times has learned<br />
that many Christians from a non-<br />
English background will put the<br />
issue first when they vote, as<br />
concerns emerge about how<br />
same sex marriage laws will impact<br />
on Christian churches.<br />
The concerns are expected to<br />
be a vote winner for The Christian<br />
Democrat candidate Gui<br />
Dong (William) Cao, who also<br />
stands for grassroots democracy<br />
and local government rights.<br />
Christian Democrats State Director<br />
Craig Hall told The Weekly<br />
Times that a vote for candidate<br />
Gui Dong (William) Cao is also a<br />
vote for traditional family values.<br />
“Top of our list is traditional<br />
marriage , freedom of religion,<br />
freedom of speech as well as<br />
traditional family values,” Mr Hall<br />
said.<br />
Mr Hall hopes voters will remember<br />
to support Ryde has<br />
from party leader the Rev Fred<br />
Nile.<br />
“We hope voters will recall how<br />
Reverend Fred Nile MLC stood<br />
by voters in Ryde and Hunters<br />
Hill to fight against forced council<br />
amalgamations.<br />
“This is central to our belief<br />
because we are a grassroots<br />
political party and Christianity<br />
itself started as a grassroots<br />
faith.”<br />
An important part of the Christian<br />
Democrats philosophy is<br />
support for older and retired<br />
people.<br />
“This means we will fight for<br />
quality funding for aged cut and<br />
we oppose cuts to services to<br />
aged care,” Mr Hall said.<br />
While the Christian Democrats<br />
are unashamedly Christian in<br />
policy and ethics, the party is<br />
strictly non-denomenational.<br />
“We don’t favour any denomination<br />
of ethnicity and we hope<br />
to have the support of the Orthodox<br />
Christian community<br />
in Bennelong as well as from<br />
Armenian, Chinese and Korean<br />
speaking Christians.”<br />
The Christian Democrats are<br />
expected to give first preferences<br />
to the Australian Conservatives.
