'Taxpayers shouldn't fund abuse': ex-Scientologists — The Age (Australia)
Type: Press
Author(s): Kirsty Needham
Source: The Age (Australia)
FORMER members of the Church of Scientology have told a Senate committee of the "ruthlessness" of the church and its judicial system, and argued it should not be eligible for tax-free status. "Australian taxpayers should not be funding systematic, organised abuse," said Janette Vonthehoff, who claimed her passport was taken from her and she was forcibly prevented from returning to Australia from the United States when she was eight weeks pregnant, because the church ordered she must finish "training". Sydney tax ...

THE Uniting Church is continuing to offload prime real estate. It can expect to make about $6 million from the sale of a church, hall and car park (above) at 12-14 Spring Road, Malvern, near the Toorak and Armadale borders. The 3033-square-metre site, which is zoned residential 1 and has two street frontages, is expected to make way for a medium-density residential project, given the push to build up, instead of out, as per the government’s Melbourne @ 5 Million planning ...

[...] Scientologists move on THE Church of Scientology has finally offloaded the CBD headquarters it has occupied for 30 years. Property developer David Marriner, responsible for the redevelopment of Collins Street’s Regent Theatre, has bought the building, which has redevelopment potential despite being on a small site of about 346 square metres. The religious group, whose tax-free status has been the subject of two recent Senate inquiries, is believed to have made about $ 8.5 million from the sale of the ...

Letters / Time for a fair go / A right to be heard — The Age (Australia)
Type: Press
Source: The Age (Australia)
[...] Time for a fair go AFTER many years of perusing the media on minority religions, I know how it works. Media feeds on media. Falsehoods are published, then taken to be fact and republished by other media. The disaffected minority who have left a religious group are treated as if they are experts on their former group. I have no information on the Exclusive Brethren apart from what I have read in newspapers, but I am willing to believe that ...

Xenophon vows to pursue 'cults' — The Age (Australia)
Type: Press
Author(s): Michael Bachelard
Source: The Age (Australia)
Nick Xenophon will re-write and re-submit his motion for a parliamentary inquiry into Scientology and similar organisations after the South Australian senator declared himself a “stubborn bastard” who would not give up on cult victims. Both major parties voted to defeat Senator Xenophon's motion last Thursday to inquire into introducing a public benefit test before religions could claim a tax exemption. But he said he had been encouraged by conversations with some Coalition MPs since the vote to believe they might ...

Xenophon pushes for Scientology inquiry — The Age (Australia)
Type: Press
Source: The Age (Australia)
Independent senator Nick Xenophon plans to make a fresh bid for a Senate inquiry into Scientology. Labor and coalition senators this week joined forces to vote against Senator Xenophon's motion to launch an inquiry into the tax-free status of religious groups and whether they should be subjected to a British-style public benefit test. But the South Australian senator, who will address a forum on cults in Brisbane on Saturday, said he planned to make another bid for an inquiry when the ...

Scientology inquiry blocked in Senate — The Age (Australia)
Type: Press
Source: The Age (Australia)
Labor and the coalition have been accused of walking away from claims of abuse in the Church of Scientology, by blocking a Senate investigation into the tax-free status of religious groups. Independent senator Nick Xenophon on Thursday failed to win sufficient support for an inquiry into whether church groups should be subjected to a public benefit test, like that in the UK. His move was prompted by complaints from former members of the Church of Scientology, and "hundreds" more allegations since ...

Type: Press
Source: The Age (Australia)
Australian of the Year Pat McGorry has backed calls for a Senate inquiry into Scientology, saying its views on mental health are putting lives at risk. "They are the deniers of the realities of mental illness, which I find incredibly irresponsible and dangerous," he told ABC Radio this morning. The renowned mental health expert has joined psychiatry boss Louise Newman and the Brain and Mind Institute's Ian Hickie in urging senators to vote for an inquiry. The Senate is expected to ...

More Scientology accusations exposed — The Age (Australia)
Type: Press
Source: The Age (Australia)
Scientology has been hit by a fresh wave of allegations, likely to give added weight to calls for a Senate inquiry into the church. Several Australians have spoken out for the first time about their experiences with the church, accusing it of forced abortions, holding slave labour camps and exploiting child workers. Former rugby league player Joe Reaiche told ABC's Four Corners program on Monday of being coerced into spending $400,000 on spiritual books and being paid just $20 a week ...
