AND TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
.
Kevin,
15 There have been various publications (quoted below) as to the Federal government using a
“Federal Government economic stimulus payments” for payments to private education facilities.
.
We also had the heading “You pay $150m for rich schools ”. In my view this is
a gross misconception as to what really is constitutionally that is, applicable.
20 .
I can also refer to Michael Bachelard, senior Sunday Age journalist who is author of “Behind the
Exclusive Brethren”
.
What is needed is to set matters straight as it serves no one to have all kind of misconceptions
25 going on.
.
Firstly, the issue that parents so to say are stinking rich because they have one or children
attending to private education facilities is not relevant because many parents are ordinary
hardworking parents who just want the best for their children and by no means could be deemed
30 “rich” on the little income they have. We would do a disservice to parents to pretend that only
the “rich” can have children attending to private schools. Neither can we hold that only the
“poor” are sending their children to “public schools” because there are ample of parents who
may be deemed “rich” but still have their children attending “public school” facilities.
.
35 As the Framers of the Constitution made clear there is CIVIL LIBERTY and that means parents
are entitled, regardless of their income, to select the kind of education facilities they desire for
their children to attend to. As a CONSTITUTIONALIST I find it sickening to have this rich
versus poor going on because it should be a non issue.
.
40 We all make choices in life and some because of this end up rich and some of them end up poor
gambling it all away and other are poor and become rich with gambling, etc.
Whatever we desire to follow as a path may or may not have an end destination of riches. Our
children never should have to suffer because of parents being rich or poor.
.
45 As the Framers of the Constitution made clear:

Mr. WISE.-If the Federal Parliament chose to legislate upon, say, the education
35 question-and the Constitution gives it no power to legislate in regard to that question-the
Ministers for the time being in each state might say-"We are favorable to this law, because
we shall get £100,000 a year, or so much a year, from the Federal Government as a subsidy
for our schools," and thus they might wink at a violation of the Constitution, while no
one could complain. If this is to be allowed, why should we have these elaborate
40 provisions for the amendment of the Constitution? Why should we not say that the
Constitution may be amended in any way that the Ministries of the several colonies
may unanimously agree? Why have this provision for a referendum? Why consult the
people at all? Why not leave this matter to the Ministers of the day? But the proposal
has a more serious aspect, and for that reason only I will ask permission to occupy a
45 few minutes in discussing it.

What therefore should be clear is that funding of students must be done upon an equal basis
nothing to do with religion.
50 .
What however is relevant is that funding by the Commonwealth of Australia cannot be used to
promote religion or in aid of religion.

I do not need to go into details as the about “100319-submission TAXATION EXEMPTIONS-
NON PROFIT ENTITIES - ETC” submission to the Senate economic commission deals
already extensively with many matters. Also can be downloaded from
5 Http://www.scribd.com/InspectorRikati free of charge.
Therefore any finding by the Federal government must be equally to all schools as to the number
of students there are and not higher or lower to certain schools per student..
.
In my view it makes not one iota difference if one school has gold pillars as an entrance and
10 another salt pillars because as long as any funding for students are being used for the purpose it is
provided for then whatever else any parent may contribute towards is not an relevant issue.
Therefore, if the Federal government provides a payment , say, of $100.00 per student per week
for a “public school” then it is bound to provide the same amount of $100.00 for any student to a
“private school” albeit it can stipulate the monies are not to be used for ulterior purposes such as
15 religious equipment, etc.
.
As my submission to the Senate points out there are Authorities of the U.S.A that makes clear
that religious education facilities cannot use the funding for religious purposes.

Mr. BARTON.-Yes, since then, as is pointed out in a little handbook which my
honorable friend lent me. But the question for us to consider is whether a court like the
Federal High Court or the Privy Council would ever come to such a conclusion. One would
35 think it highly improbable. The real question that may arise under this Constitution is
whether the Commonwealth can make a law establishing or prohibiting the free exercise of
any religion. I take it that in the absence of a provision in the Constitution conferring
that power upon the Commonwealth it will be impossible for the Commonwealth to
do so. For this reason I think we need scarcely trouble ourselves to impose any
40 restrictions. Under a Constitution like this, the withholding of a power from the
Commonwealth is a prohibition against the exercise of such a power.

Hence, any purported COAG (Council of Australian Government) decisions such as regarding

.
35 While the Commonwealth of Australia would obviously be entitled to make known that funding
is not to be used for religious purposes it can however not interfere with the ordinary set up and
conduct of education facilities such as the MySchool website.
.
Neither can it interfere with the education provided at each school because within the provisions
40 of the constitution ever State is a “sovereign” State and entitled to have students learning about
the specific historical elements of that State. In NSW it might be more about issues regarding the
original settlements in 17 88, while in WA it might be about the Dutch explorers who they settled
since 1628 there, long before 1788, and with Victoria it might relate to other issues. It is not for
the Federal government to seek to streamline education in to how its desires to mould historical
45 events, etc, perhaps to its own political agenda.

Mr. GLYNN: I think the last few words of this clause are too comprehensive in their

defeating the effect of direct taxation.

Mr. O'CONNOR: In a case of that kind the reversion which is in the Crown would
not be taxed, but the letting value would be taxed.
Mr. BARTON: I might mention that the property of the Commonwealth in that land is
the reversion upon the lease. The reversion upon the lease would not be [start page 1002]

10 Mr. HENRY: I would like to raise a question as to the right of the Commonwealth to tax
materials for State purposes. In the event of a colony importing rails, machinery, engines,
&c., for State purposes, I would like to know whether such exports are to be free from
Customs duties. Will the Federal Parliament have a right to levy duties on materials
imported for State purposes?
15 Mr. BARTON: This is a matter that was discussed very fully in the Constitutional
Committee, and I think my hon. friend Sir George Turner will remember that I consulted
the members of the Finance Committee upon it, intimating to them the opinion of the
Constitutional Committee on the point. The words:
Impose any tax on property
20 do not refer to the importation of goods at all, and any amendment to except the Customs
would be unnecessary. This clause states that a State shall not, without the consent of the
Parliament of the Commonwealth, impose taxation on property of any kind belonging to
the Commonwealth, meaning by that property of any kind which is in hand, such as land
within the Commonwealth. That has no reference to Customs duties.
25 Sir GEORGE TURNER: Will articles imported by the States Governments come in
free?
Mr. BARTON: The question then arises whether articles imported by the States
Governments are to come in free, but this section has nothing to do with that. Under this
Bill and in the measure of 1891 I believe duties would have been collectable upon imports
30 by any State, and after the consultation which I had with the hon. member and his
colleagues on the Finance Committee the Constitutional Committee decided not to make
any exemption in the case of any State.

35 The Same therefore should apply to the GST, etc.
As the Framers of the Constitution also made clear that when it came to federal taxes, duties and
customs then other then direct taxes upon land (s.114 of the constitution) the States could not
interfere with Commonwealth sovereign powers to raise taxes, duties and customs and would
have to pay taxes, duties and customs as like anyone else. Yet, we find that the NON PROFIT
40 (NOT-FOR-PROFIT) registered entities are somehow allowed not to pay taxes as others and
use this not for the good of the public but to set themselves up in compounds, etc as some
government within a government, even to have their own kind of detention upon religious
followers who may not act in what is demanded by the religious order. This is the kind of
conduct that never should be permitted because then we no longer have a united government of a
45 State or a united government of the federation but we have isolated small pockets of self created
governments, being it known as the Exclusive Brethern, Scientology, etc.
They then are closed of from the ordinary laws of society and any funding by the Commonwealth
per student is not properly accounted for.

Scientology inquiry blocked in Senate
QUOTE
5 Labor frontbencher Joe Ludwig said a Senate inquiry was
unwarranted, as there were already two other inquiries looking into
taxation matters, including the tax-free status of religious groups.
END QUOTE
.
10 I myself indicated that it would be constitutionally inappropriate to hold any inquiry as to
religious practices because s.116 prohibits the Commonwealth of doing so.
My concern is however that contrary to what Joe Ludwig had claimed there is actually no TAX-
FREE STATUS religious group or otherwise inquiry being conducted, neither that in regard of
the GST.
15 .
At least this is the feed back I received from the Senate economic Committee.
.
What should be understood is that the States cannot provide any TAX-EXEMPTIONS for
religious groups as to Commonwealth taxation powers. The Commonwealth and the
20 commonwealth alone can do so and it cannot provide any religious group with tax exemption for
being a religious group, to do otherwise would be a breach of s.116 of the constitution.
.
What however the Commonwealth is permitted to do is to provide tax exemptions to any NON
PROFIT (NOT-FOR-PROFIT) registered entity regardless of it being a religious group or not
25 but provided that the entity provides the monies for public purposes.
.
Hence, any religion that uses moneys to say pay of victims to keep silent about sexual abuse
cannot be deemed to be an entity for public purposes because it uses monies contrary to the legal
provisions of the law and that is that any sexual abuse is prohibited.
30 .
As the Framers of the constitution made clear that any conduct of any religious entity in the end
would be subject to the ordinary criminal laws of a State.
.
As such, if a religious entity were to act contrary to legal provisions that are ordinary applicable
35 to the general community then their conduct is inappropriate and can be dealt with by the States.
As such, the Framers of the Constitution never contemplated to allow any religion to operate as
some self styled government within its own compounds. Regretfully politicians always out to get
political funding are willing, so to say, to sell out the electors with ignoring any improper
conduct by religious entities. That must stop.
40 .
If therefore any religious entity desires to have education funding then it must allow transparency
to the relevant Authorities to check their ingoings and outgoings as to if they are using the
education funding for the students and not say to build some compound to hide behind.
.
45 Any such religious entity that employed all kinds of security guards, etc, cannot be deemed to be
operating for the public benefits and so should be de-registered as a NON PROFIT (NOT-FOR-
PROFIT) registered entity.
.
“Federal Government economic stimulus payments” is not an issue within the legislative powers
50 of the Commonwealth and as such art most the Federal government could have done was to
provide the States with funding (s.96 of the constitution) to assist each school equally with
certain projects. As such, it is not for the politicians in Canberra to work out which area’s might
22-3-2010 Page 6
give them a better return on votes by pork barrelling because it must provide per school the same
funding. Hence, the Federal Government could have stipulated to the States that it would be
provided with an “x” amount of funding per school for certain projects but then the “x” amount
has to be the same throughout the Commonwealth of Australia.
5 .
As such, it makes no difference if one has pearly gates and the other wrought iron gates or just
some ropes serving as a gateway because how rich or poor a school is doesn’t come into play.
The States themselves are there to govern the internal issues of each State.
.
10 Fancy the State of Victoria to go into Canberra and dictating what teachers in Canberra have to
teach their students. The Commonwealth would be quickly objecting that this is the sovereign
domain of the Commonwealth. Well so does every State having their own sovereign domains.
.The States themselves are accountable how they desire to run their State school (and likewise
this is so with hospitals, etc,) and where a State allows private school to operate then so be it.
15 .
It doesn’t matter for one iota if a school is a private school holding religious sessions or not as
that is the schools own internal affair as long as the teaching is not at cost of the ordinary
taxpayers. As I did set out extensively also in the “100319-submission TAXATION
EXEMPTIONS-NON PROFIT ENTITIES - ETC” submission that a grant (INCLUDING
20 TAX CONSESSIONS) is a “CONTRACT” and as such where the Commonwealth of Australia
by way of tax concessions or otherwise provide for grants then it must ensure this is not used for
religious purposes. Hence, any registration based upon the fact that an entity is a religious entity
is unconstitutional. Indeed, any non-religious registered entity would be disadvantaged if the
Commonwealth provided tax exemptions to the religious entity.
25 .
The mere fact that a State may have registered for its own internal tax purposes to be a NON
PROFIT (NOT-FOR-PROFIT) registered entity does not follow then this is a legitimate
registration for Commonwealth taxation purposes and indeed cannot apply at all. For
Commonwealth NON PROFIT (NOT-FOR-PROFIT) registered entity purposes there must be
30 a registration independent of that of the States and not based upon religion. Hence, any tax
exemptions, tax concessions, etc, currently provided are not valid if the Commonwealth provides
them upon the basis of it being a State registered NON PROFIT (NOT-FOR-PROFIT) entity
because it would be for the Commonwealth of Australia to disregard or seek to circumvent s.116
of the constitution in regard of religious entities.
35 .
Where the Commonwealth of Australia is prohibited to provide tax exemptions, etc, by s.116 for
religious entities then it neither can do so by backdoor manner using the States. Registration
processes.
.
40 The High court of Australia 1982 ruling regarding Scientology was based upon State taxation
powers as to pay-roll tax and had nothing to do with the Commonwealth of Australia taxation
powers.
.
Indeed, where a religious entity is operating as a registered company operating under federal law
45 (s.51(xx) of the constitution) then it cannot register under State laws to excuse itself from payroll
tax where it is a federal registered entity and s.116 of the constitution prohibits it to claim special
status as to religious issues.
.
The Framers of the Constitution made clear that for federation purposes the Commonwealth of
50 Australia should have a legislative powers as to the conduct of companies rather then each State
having its own and as such all companies must operate on a non religious platform of registration
and the States cannot undermine this federal powers..
.
22-3-2010 Page 7
Why on earth would one have that as State cannot excuse itself from paying taxes, duties,
customs (other then what is provided for within s.114 of the constitution, but somehow could
excuse a State NON PROFIT (NOT-FOR-PROFIT) registered entity avoid paying federal
taxes? This just doesn’t work this way.
5 .
What we have therefore is that after about 110 years of federation we still haven’t managed to
get the basics right.
.
There can be no doubt that some of the education facilities are associated with what might be
10 deemed religious entities but is subject to abuse and misuse and in my view this must be stopped.
.
Rather then to attach the so called rich school we do better to work united and forget if your
neighbour happen to drive a Mercedes bench and you just drive some 30 old year olden barely fit
enough to get you to the point of destination because we all should be content with the fruits of
15 our lifestyles. After all each of us can otherwise to achieve more.
.
The real issue is the Federal government squandering taxpayers monies and it should be held
accountable for doing so.
.
20 The States should make clear that under the federation the Commonwealth is bound to return the
surplus to the states and not use it to try to blackmail the States time and time again to hand over
legislative powers. It are the states that should wake up and take a stand that they no longer are
going to be subjected to this kind of TERRORISM and that they simply demand their surpluses
back. During the 2007 federal election you claimed to be a “federalist” yet it appears to me you
25 are more acting like a “confederalist” disregarding state sovereign rights.
.
Below I quote some of the media publications about the funding and it is well overdue you so to
say get your act together and avoid divisiveness and start working on what is constitutionally
permissible, as the position of prime minister depends upon acting in accordance with
30 constitutional provisions and limitations.
.
I totally dislike it that as I view it your conduct of funding somehow seeks to get the end result as
if being rich (due to hard work or otherwise) is now a curse where most people achieved this by
hard work and have every right to enjoy the fruits of their labour. Sure, I am not rich and never
35 contemplated to be so and as such I am not speaking on behalf of myself as such but I just like
people to be together and not being divided because they way you are funding schools that result
to such divisions.
.
We shouldn’t overlook the purpose and intentions of the “Version No. 001, State Aid to
40 Religion Abolition Act 1871, Act No. 391/1871, Version as at 3 March 2003” as the pay roll tax
and other taxation exclusions seem to me to undermine this.
.
With the issue of religious funding, and again any tax exemption is still a grant, then I view there
is no excuse to delay any inquiry and you must this make your personal goal to ensure that an
45 appropriate possible ROYAL COMMISSION is held in regard of NON PROFIT (NOT-FOR-
PROFIT) registrations and application considering also the conditions set out below.
.
QUOTE “100319-submission TAXATION EXEMPTIONS-NON PROFIT ENTITIES - ETC”
Likewise we have all kinds of NOT-FOR-PROFIT companies operating that is to collect
50 monies for the sick, the age, the invalid, etc, and often less then 5% of the monies collected is
then actually channeled to those for which the monies were collected and at time not a cent at all.
There simply seems to be no financial accountability for being a NOT-FOR-PROFIT
company!.
22-3-2010 Page 8
In my view, the Commonwealth of Australia should in the first place never rely upon State based
registrations as the Framers of the Constitution made clear that any corporation should be dealt
with by the Commonwealth within s.51(xx) as to ensure that all companies were subject to the
same legal provisions.
5 Further, none of the States therefore can validly register any company because it offend the
purpose of s.51(xx).
.
In my view, the Commissioner of Taxation should have all access to how NOT-FOR-PROFIT
companies operate financially and how monies were disposed off and the commonwealth must
10 set guidelines that a certain minimum percentage of monies raised must be provided to those for
whom the monies was collected and not that 95% or more is deducted from the collection as
overhead cost for the so called NOT-FOR-PROFIT companies
.
We have people donating money and then writing it off as TAX DEDUCTIONS where in fact
15 none may actually find it’s way to any charitable institutions because it is all claimed as overhead
cost by the NOT-FOR-PROFIT companies.
.
Generally the ordinary citizen who works hard to earn an income is paying a lot of taxes and
some of the riches people around Australia pay next to nothing because the way they can deduct
20 their income. Then the system is not for “PUBLIC PURPOSES” to provide NOT-FOR-
PROFIT companies with TAX EXEMPTIONS to the contrary is undermines the entire
meaning and intention to use it for “PUBLIC PURPOSES”.
.
Let’s us use an example:
25 Jo Blow I a fictitious identity) runs a NOT-FOR-PROFIT company and makes a fortune
on income. He obviously has to pay tax so he donates money to his own NOT-FOR-
PROFIT company by this he reduces his taxable income by TAX DEDUCTION and still
keeps the money!
.
30 In my view the term NOT-FOR-PROFIT is grossly abused and misused and too much money is
so to say milked out of it. By this pay-as-your earn taxpayers are the ones having to make up the
shortfall in taxation revenue collected that could have been collected had this rorting been
stopped.

CONSTITUTIONALIST, I do view however that any funding for one but not equally to the
other would be a breach of constitutional prohibitions. Any funding or indirect funding,
such as tax concessions, must if provided to a religious body likewise must be provided to a
non-religious body as failing to do so would breach the provisions of 116 of the federal
25 constitution.
Consider the quotations also below;

STATES, CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR
THE NINTH CIRCUIT, No. 76., Argued January 20, 1970, Decided June 15, 1970
10 1. The language of 6 (j) cannot be construed (as it was in United States v. Seeger,
supra, and as it is in the prevailing opinion) to exempt from military service all
individuals who in good faith oppose all war, it being clear from both the legislative
history and textual analysis of that provision that Congress used the words "by reason
of religious training and belief" to limit religion to its theistic sense and to confine it
15 to formal, organized worship or shared beliefs by a recognizable and cohesive group.
Pp. 348-354.
2. The question of the constitutionality of 6 (j) cannot be avoided by a construction of
that provision that is contrary to its intended meaning. Pp. 354-356.
3. Section 6 (j) contravenes the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment by
20 exempting those whose conscientious objection claims are founded on a theistic belief
while not exempting those whose claims are based on a secular belief. To comport
with that clause an exemption must be "neutral" and include those whose belief
emanates from a purely moral, ethical, or philosophical source. Pp. 356-361.
4. In view of the broad discretion conferred by the Act's severability clause and the
25 longstanding policy of exempting religious conscientious objectors, the Court, rather
than nullifying the exemption entirely, should extend its coverage to those like
petitioner who have been unconstitutionally excluded from its coverage. Pp. 361-367.

AND WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
40 Re; “religious objection” (Subsection 245(14) of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918)
offend Section 116 if the Constitution if it excludes secular belief based objections.
Madam,
As you are aware I continue to refer to my religious objection albeit do wish to
45 indicate that while using the “religious objection” referred to in subsection 245(14) of
the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 I do not consider that this subsection 14 limits
an objection only to an “theistic belief” based “religious objection” but in fact it also
includes any secular belief based “religious objection”, as it must be neutral to
whatever a person uses as grounds for an “objection”. This, as Section 116 of the
50 Constitution prohibit the Commonwealth of Australia to limit the scope of subsection
245(14) to only “theistic belief” based “religious objections”. Therefore, any person
having a purely moral, ethical, or philosophical source of “religious objection” have a
valid objection.
22-3-2010 Page 12
Neither do I accept that a person making an “religious objection” requires to state
his/her +, and neither which part of his/her religion provides for a “religious objection”
as the mere claim itself is sufficient to constitute what is referred to in subsection
245(14) as being a “religious objection”. Therefore, the wording “religious objection”
5 is to be taken as “objection” without the word “religion” having any special meaning
in that regard.
If you do not accept this as such, then there is clearly another constitutional issue on
foot!
I request you to respond as soon as possible and set out your position in this regard.

Subject: Education funding
5 Comment: Kevin,
As a CONSTITUTIONALIST I am very concerned that somehow legislation regarding

education funding is still to be passed through the parliament where the Framers of the
constitution made clear that Appropriation Bills and Taxation Bills had to be considered
10 together, this as any amendments of one may reflect upon the other.
.
My published books in the INSPECTOR-RIKATI® series have canvassed this already
extensively and so no need to repeat the same in this email.
.
15 Therefore, if it is not argued that the Appropriation Bills for the Education funding has not
been passed then it means that the taxation levelled against taxpayers was in excess. You
cannot raise taxes without having the equivalent of monies for Appropriation Bills.
I understand that there is a debate about curriculum issues.
.
20 HANSARD 1-3-1898 Constitution Convention Debates
QUOTE
Mr. WISE.-If the Federal Parliament chose to legislate upon, say, the education question-
and the Constitution gives it no power to legislate in regard to that question-the Ministers
for the time being in each state might say-"We are favorable to this law, because we shall
25 get £100,000 a year, or so much a year, from the Federal Government as a subsidy for our
schools," and thus they might wink at a violation of the Constitution, while no one could
complain. If this is to be allowed, why should we have these elaborate provisions for the
amendment of the Constitution? Why should we not say that the Constitution may be
amended in any way that the Ministries of the several colonies may unanimously agree?
30 Why have this provision for a referendum? Why consult the people at all? Why not leave
this matter to the Ministers of the day? But the proposal has a more serious aspect, and for
that reason only I will ask permission to occupy a few minutes in discussing it.
END QUOTE
.
35 As I indicated recently to you, albeit you may not have bothered to consider it, Section 96
of the Constitution was intended by the Framers of the Constitution to be used only in
extreme circumstances and perhaps never at all and not as a general manner to provide
funding or grants. Therefore any tactic to bleed the States dry from finances as a weapon to
force them to give in to demands by the Federal Government is and remains to be
40 unconstitutional.
If your constitutional advisors lack to comprehend this then I view you did better to have
them replaced with those who can!
.
In my view the funding for schools (private and public) should be in place with the taxation
45 bills before the parliament and not have been withheld as some, as it appears to me, manner
to blackmail the States and others as this to me is the conduct of TERRORIST and not of a
FEDERALIST!
.
Didn’t you claim during the 2007 federal election to be a FEDERALIST?
50 .
Then finally prove this to act in accordance to the true application of the constitution!
.
For the above I for one take the view that without further delay you should guarantee the
22-3-2010 Page 14
passage of education funding bills!

QUOTE Cults should be given nowhere to hide
theage.com.au
Cults should be given nowhere to hide
15 MICHAEL BACHELARD
March 21, 2010
Despite criminal investigations, these groups continue unfettered.
THE recent evidence of the psychological harm caused by religious cults could not be more
graphic.
20 On ABC TV's Four Corners, Liz and James Anderson told how their indoctrination in
Scientology saw them part with hundreds of thousands of dollars buying the outpourings of
guru L. Ron Hubbard. Eventually they also lost one of their daughters, signing
guardianship to a Scientologist slave labour camp called Sea Org.
Today Tonight then revealed how a NSW-based Exclusive Brethren doctor, Mark
25 Craddock, had chemically castrated a young man to suppress his sex drive because he was
gay. When Today Tonight dared to film him with victim Craig Hoyle outside the Brethren
headquarters, they were pursued around Sydney by cars full of young thugs who are facing
criminal charges.
Despite this latest evidence, the Senate rejected Nick Xenophon's request for an inquiry
30 into Scientology when both major parties voted against it. We've been down this road
before. Through much of 2006 and 2007, the Greens tried to get a Senate inquiry into the
Exclusive Brethren, and the major parties vetoed it. The Liberal Party's serial cult apologist,
Eric Abetz, dismissed the victims of these damaging organisations as people ''voluntarily
allowing themselves to be brainwashed''.
35 This means that, in Australia, cults are thriving under the protection of politicians, the
police and the courts.
When it comes to notions of religious freedom, our thinking is dangerously woolly. The
only cult indoctrination we take seriously is by Islamic terror groups. The recent counter-
terrorism white paper recognised the process of radicalisation that young Muslim men
40 undergo before committing acts of violence.
22-3-2010 Page 15
But the same techniques of coercive persuasion make Scientologists sign away
guardianship of their children; have abortions at someone else's demand; or make Exclusive
Brethren members teach their children that their estranged father is ''of the devil''.
All this causes damage that is lifelong and debilitating. And yet politicians are petrified of
5 being seen to infringe the right of an apparently religious group to do whatever it wants.
We need to ruthlessly tighten up our understanding in this area. The state should only allow
a religion as much freedom as the members of that religion themselves enjoy. So unless the
faithful are free to argue, to question their leaders, to be gay, to quit and go to another
church with their families intact, then the religion itself should be taxed, regulated, should
10 lose school funding and be put out of business.
We could use the International Charter of Human Rights as our model of appropriate
behaviour. And we should have a commissioner of religions to enforce the law. Religious
freedom should not be granted unconditionally. And by their practices we should know
them.
15 Kevin Rudd and others have urged victims of the Exclusive Brethren to report criminal
activity. But the criminal law is not up to dealing with cults. In 1998, the federal
government's Model Criminal Code committee recommended that the states and territories
rejig assault laws to deal with the effects of cult indoctrination.
The committee said it should be a crime to cause ''harm to a person's mental health, whether
20 temporary or permanent''. All states and territories should put this clause into their crimes
act, the committee found.
Then damaged individuals would have an option. At the moment, the only recourse is to
sue. A criminal sanction would mean the victim would simply be a witness to a case
investigated by police and run by the state.
25 One or two successful criminal prosecutions and jail terms for cult leaders should be
enough to convince the rest of them to allow people to see their children.
But the implementation of that recommendation has been woeful. We need to get it clear
that cults that deliberately harm people while they hide behind the skirts of religion are not
legitimate. They should not enjoy the protection of the law against their victims. They
30 should not have taxpayer concessions or get government funding for schools. And they
should be answerable for their crimes in the dock.

Brethren.

You pay $150m for rich schools

From: Herald Sun
March 20, 2010 12:00AM
TAXPAYERS have helped fund tennis courts, swimming pools, gyms, playgrounds,
green schemes and even an atrium refurbishment at some of the state's richest private
40 schools.
Fifty top independent and religious schools pocketed more than $150 million in Federal
Government economic stimulus payments, a survey by the Herald Sun has found.
Some private schools got more than $5 million each, while some government schools didn't
get a cent.
22-3-2010 Page 31
Toorak's St Catherine's got $2 million towards a $9 million sports hall that will boast two
indoor pools with glass walls and ceiling, a gym and seating for 250.
The project will also include synthetic tennis, netball, basketball, and hockey facilities, an
underground carpark, classroom, staff offices and landscaping, and the school also got
5 $200,000 to refurbish its senior school atrium.
State-run Apollo Bay College has rotting floorboards and collapsing ceilings but got just
$975,000 for a library and refurbished toilet. It missed out on up to $2 million more
because it was two students short of qualifying.

Rye Primary was left empty-handed after being convinced to give up its share for "more
needy schools".
20 Melbourne University professor Richard Teese said giving cash to private schools ahead of
needy state schools was "just plain wrong".
"I don't think any educator accepts the logic of giving to wealthy private schools resources
or equipment or buildings which are urgently needed in poorer public schools," he said.
"The wealthy private school is over-resourced and the children in it have more resources
25 than they can ever use, while poorer public schools can't get access to facilities and services
they urgently need."
Prof Teese is chair of Post-Compulsory Education and Training at Melbourne Uni and
author of reports on the needs of government schools in poor areas for the State
Government.
30 Child psychologist Michael Carr-Gregg said failure to prioritise poorer schools came at a
huge social cost.
"It will cost society in the long run through unemployment, violence, drug and alcohol
abuse, etc," he said.
"We need to give the schools with broken floorboards and peeling paint a sense of pride ...
35 to increase their students' sense of connectedness."
Dr Carr-Gregg said the cash could have been used to employ welfare staff in schools
struggling with the impact of family breakdowns, drugs, alcohol and mental health
problems.
Association of State Secondary Principals president Brian Burgess said in the
40 Government's rush to get cash flowing "equity had gone out the window".
"If it was based on educational need, many private schools would not have got, and should
not have got, any money at all," he said.
"Plenty of secondary colleges that desperately need refurbished or new buildings are not
getting them."

Cash went to private schools for music rooms, performing arts buildings, pool upgrades and
theatre upgrades. They also got green grants for artificial turf, water tanks, solar cells, water
harvesting systems, improving thermal performance of buildings and shade structures.
"Staff joke privately about having so much money and getting more while other schools are
5 struggling," one private school teacher said.
Independent Schools Victoria CEO Michelle Green said it was a welcome recognition that
independent schools got only a fraction of capital funding that governments invest in public
schools.
"Many independent schools were able to meet deadlines imposed ... because they had been
10 planning new buildings but were not able to start work for lack of funds," she said.
Federal Opposition education spokesman Christopher Pyne said the scheme was a lost
opportunity, with millions of dollars wasted.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said it helped save Australia from recession. "We decided to
use a national infrastructure stimulus strategy, but not just that, to provide state-of-the-art
15 (facilities) for kids right across Australia."

STRUGGLING state schools often don't have the time and resources to prepare
complex submissions for government grants, a parents' group says.
30 Parents Victoria spokeswoman Elaine Crowle said while the stimulus cash was very
welcome, some government schools missed out on top funding because of the application
process.
"Small government schools that are struggling don't necessarily have the resources to spend
a couple of days putting in the whiz bang submission so they are on the back foot from the
35 very start," she said.
"It does seem to be very inequitable that schools that are already well resourced receive
equivalent or larger sums than struggling schools."
Chris Delamore, from private-school parents group Victorian Parents Council, said every
student was entitled to taxpayer funding, irrespective of school type.

5 s"Everyone deserves to have money for education. Whether you send a child to a
government school or a private school, to educate a child and supply the service is pretty
much the same," she said.
Ms Delamore said the purpose of the stimulus package was to build infrastructure and
create jobs across the whole community.
10 "It's a one-off program to stimulate the economy and we were lucky that education got it,"
she said.
"A lot of (private schools) got $200,000 or $300,000 which is not a huge amount in this day
and age to do any sort of renovations."

THE Federal Government's education stimulus payments were flawed from the start,
according to the Association of State Secondary Principals' president, Brian Burgess.
Mr Burgess said the scheme was designed to create jobs and really had nothing to do with
25 education.
"It really didn't matter where the money went as long as ... we kept the building industry
going," he said.
Mr Burgess said the Government not only failed to means test grants, but forced state
schools to accept a centralised design and tendering process to make it faster and cheaper.
30 "As it's turned out, the timelines keep getting extended and schools probably could have
done it in their own way for their own needs."
He also dismissed the Government's claims it did not have time to identify schools of most
need.
"They could have done that overnight," he said.

Apollo Bay P-12 College left to rot

A STATE school with rotting window frames and ceilings that are falling in has
missed out on the top stimulus grants many rich private schools received.
Apollo Bay P-12 College was told it did not qualify for $2 million in funds because it was
two students short of the cut-off point.
5 School council president Maria McQuinn said yesterday the community felt cheated,
especially because Apollo Bay was initially told by education authorities it would get the
extra money.
"They even appointed project managers, but then we were told, 'Sorry, you are two students
short, you only qualify for the $850,000'," she said.
10 "We are appalled - it's nowhere near enough for what we need."
Ms McQuinn said she didn't begrudge other schools getting multi-million-dollar grants, but
the neediest schools should have been given priority.

"There were definitely schools, and we were one of them, that missed out badly. I mean,
we've got ceilings that are falling in," she said.
20 "We had to evacuate a primary classroom in the rain because a window fell off and the rain
came pelting in and was flooding the classroom."
Apollo Bay is so desperate that principal John McConchie has supported the students
launching a campaign over the issue.
School co-captain Findlay Burns-Fabb has organised a petition for more funding and has
25 sought meetings with MPs.
The school was built in the 1950s using second-hand portables.
It was given $850,000 for a new library and $125,000 for a refurbished toilet block under
the stimulus package.
Meanwhile, St Catherine's School principal Sylvia Walton defended their $2.2 million
30 taxpayer handout.
"St Catherine's applied and were delighted to receive funding based on our student numbers
and the merit of the projects," she said.
Geelong Grammar refused to comment on its $125,000 taxpayer-funded tennis courts or
what its other $3 million grant was used for.

THE need to subsidise private schools is based on the reality that the taxpayer could
not afford to educate the vast numbers of students who would be thrown onto state
education if independent schools did not exist.
But over resourcing such institutions at the expense of government schools is a different
5 matter and one that needs urgent review.
As reported in the Herald Sun, taxpayers have paid for tennis courts, swimming pools,
gyms and playgrounds at some of Victoria's richest private schools.
More than $5 million has been handed to some private schools while some state schools
have got nothing.
10 No one could argue that wealthy schools should be given resources that are urgently needed
in poorer public schools.
St Catherine's in Toorak, one of Australia's richest private schools, found itself with $2
million towards a sports sports hall with two indoor pools while the state-run Apollo Bay
College, which has rotting floorboards and collapsing ceilings, missed out on the same
15 amount because it was two students short of qualifying.

As a CONSTITUTIONALIST I have no issue with monies being spend on private school
provided it is done in the same manner with public school. I would be wrong to hold that
every child attending to a private school has rich parents. Constitutionally all funding
should be equal and not that Kevin Rudd is using taxpayers moneys to as I view it bribe
25 parents who’s children attend to private school with too much funding at cost of others
school! The Federal Government economic stimulus payments is no excuse to disregard
constitutional embedded legal principles and perhaps Kevin Rudd should himself go back
to school to learn this!
