URGENT - Aussie Senator needs support

Apologies for the crosspost:

I'd like to let the hipforums community know about this petition

http://www.gopetition.com.au/online/32251.html

Quote:
Senator Nick Xenophon is going to the Australian Parliament with a proposal for a Senate Inquiry following letters he has received from ex-Scientologists that describe horrific ordeals that they have endured at the hands of this so called Church.

This petition is to show the support of Australia and the World that we are behind the Senator and wish for this inquiry to be approved to help shine the light on the murky corners of Scientology.
Note that we understand this may go up for a vote MONDAY Aussie time, so the timeframe is short. The Senator has specifically supported the petition call, and that it should be global and not just limited to Australians. If you feel inclined to spread the word, that'd be cool.

To better understand why the issue with Scientology is not the creed, but its duplicitous and criminal nature, that at it's core has no real adherance to the creed it sells to the 'raw public' (or even lower level staff) the recent video interview by Australian ex senior SeaOrg member Aaron Saxton are very informative.

The senate vote has been delayed until TUESDAY, so still time if you want to sign or get others to.

Cheers.

 

Nick Xenophon is a good guy, from what i do know about him. I always like independents.

 

The Australia Senate has come out with its final report about charitable organizations who hide under their tax free status.

hopefully this will be just the beginning and scientology will either change their ways dramatically or be taxed and regulated like any other dangerous business in Australia. Or maybe run out of the country.

 

The actual report.
