Also ask "how many religious organisations have been using the charities act to regroup organisations registered under other acts such as the Corporations Act to avoid investigation and then slip from charity scrutiny into something else to stay one step in front of the law".
Also how can someone barred from directorship become a charitable trustee or even an elected people's representative such as an MP or Mayor?

This story is more about a dubious businessman playing the pea and shell game ala Clive Palmer. Want to talk about corporations operating under the Charities Act look no further than Sanitarium established by the Seventh Day Adventist church in 1898 and quite up front about the fact they don't pay company income tax.

And use poor work practices such as calling on relief workers at 11am to turn in for a 12 hour shift commencing at 6pm.
@FrayedBear If that's the case it also shows how shonky the Australian Business Awards are. Sanitarium has won the Employer of Choice award three years in a row with the last time being 2016.
@Kimba doesn't surprise me. It's like public service and politicians - make a mistake and they invariably promote you if only sideways.

I think the Salvos have remained consistently crooked.
@FrayedBear Yup my late mum was a paramilitary tambourine bashing, Sunday morning wrecking, warcry selling, Salvation army, godbotherer par excellence.
@LenHazell53 lol. Well described. Courtesy of "Traditional and Folkmusic" please enjoy:
Better ask Carter. He seems to have the means to achieve it - at least up to now.
