The National Civic Council (NCC) is a conservative Christian lobby group in Australia,[1] founded by B. A. Santamaria in the 1940s.[2] The NCC publishes a weekly magazine, News Weekly.
The NCC promotes policy based on Santamaria's Catholic values, including opposition to feminism,[3][4] abortion, same-sex marriage[2] and supporting Christian values along with "the integrity of human life", "the family unit", decentralism and patriotism (including economic). It is usually considered socially conservative, while in economics it is critical of both socialist and economic-rationalist trends. The group organised support for Tony Abbott before the spill motion in February 2015.[5][6]
