1Coalition for Concerned Citizens The Coalition for Concerned Citizens is a group of Christian fundamentalists committed to changing what they regard as libertarian attitudes amongst too many of New Zealand's politicians. Dubbed the Moral Majority, they oppose abortion, homosexual law reform and the undesirable effects of the welfare state. They advocate the sanctity of marriage and traditional family values, a strong military defence policy and religious instruction in schools.
