The National Civic Council (NCC) is a grass roots political organization in Australia.[1] Founded by B. A. "Bob" Santamaria in 1942, it was originally known as the Catholic Social Studies Movement (or simply "The Movement").[2] The NCC publishes a fortnightly current affairs magazine, News Weekly.
The NCC promotes policy which: protects the integrity of human life from conception until natural death; regards the family (not the individual) as the most basic unit of society; respects the principle of subsidiarity (decentralism); fosters patriotism (local industry, national sovereignty, low foreign debt); and encourages the living-out of Judeo-Christian ethics. It is usually considered socially conservative, while in economics it is critical of both socialist and economic-rationalist trends.
