United People of Australia

Our Core Principles

The core principles of United People of Australia are:

  1. Shared Australian Identity

    Whatever our background, we recognise that we share an Australian identity.

  2. Fellow Australians

    We encourage Australians to regard and refer to one another as Fellow Australians.

    The term reinforces what we have in common before focusing on what makes us different.

  3. Reciprocal Acceptance

    I accept you for who you are. You accept me for who I am.

    Respect and acceptance must operate in both directions.

  4. Unity

    Australia is stronger when Australians see themselves as members of a shared national community rather than competing groups.

  5. Unity Without Uniformity

    Unity does not require identical beliefs, cultures, opinions or lifestyles.

  6. Respect

    Every Australian should be treated with basic dignity and respect.

  7. Equality

    No Fellow Australian should be regarded as inherently more or less Australian because of ancestry, race, religion, culture or background.

  8. Personal Responsibility

    Each individual has responsibility for their own words, behaviour and contribution to the community.

  9. Community

    A strong Australia depends upon relationships between people — families, neighbours, communities and Fellow Australians.
