News Weekly
For well over 70 years, News Weekly has served as a major mouthpiece of the “Movement”, which became the National Civic Council (NCC); and also since 1980 of the Australian Family Association (AFA); to disseminate the ideas around which these entities organise their activities.
News Weekly has gone through as many phases as have the NCC and AFA themselves, keeping pace with the changes in society and politics, and striving at every step to be a voice of reason, of informed analysis of emerging situations, and of sober and authoritative commentary on developing issues of every kind.
