In the October issue, we commenced acknowledgement of donations received for the 2014 Fighting Fund, which provides the means to fight for public policies which support life, defend the institution of marriage, recognise the importance of the Judeo-Christian values which underpin our society, and advance the interests of Australian families.

Your assistance – no matter whether large or small – will make a significant difference, to ensure that the country which we hand on to our children protects the values which we hold dear.

The following additional donations have been received, and we thank all those who have contributed. Donations not received at the time this Christmas AD2000 goes to the printer will be acknowledged in the February 2015 edition.
