AU Senator Calls Scientology a "Criminal Organization"
An anonymous reader passes along news that an Australian senator, Nick Xenophon, has denounced the Church of Scientology as "a criminal organization" from the floor of Parliament. "Senator Xenophon used a speech in Parliament last night to raise allegations of widespread criminal conduct within the church, saying he had received letters from former followers detailing claims of abuse, false imprisonment, and forced abortion. He says he has passed on the letters to the police and is calling for a Senate inquiry into the religion and its tax-exempt status." It wasn't that long ago that the CoS was calling for Net censorship in Australia; a month later the organization was convicted of fraud in France.
In before Xenophon/Xenu jok-... -sigh- too late.
Religions that are not willing to publish their teachings on the web and give away free books are non profit
Typo, or am I missing what you're saying here? (Not a flame. It's late and my parser is on power-save)
As an Australian I have had to endure years and years of idiot Senators embarrassing me in front the world's nerds here on Slashdot. Finally we have a half-smart one.
