Re: "Scientologists are 'bastards' who should be taxed" says Aussie EDU Minister

What about the story about child labor in Scientology on Australian TV a couple of days ago? Surely scilons must be getting a bad (or even worst) reputation over there. The namecalling is never good but the aussie public has just been given a good example of how Scientology is the definition of b...

I agree, this should be win for her and we should do all we can to make that so. Drown out any scilon noise with our own. Phone and email support to her and her party. Let them know a lot of people agree with her both in Auss and around the world. Votes count and votes are a popularity contest, we should make sure she becomes more popular as a result of this.

Oh my. If you can get their charity status revoked in Australia, that'll have a lovely knock-on effect on their UK operations...
Please, please, make it happen.

We can make it happen if we support this woman appropriately. Start clicking links and commenting and don't forget to send the lady a note of support no matter what part of the globe you are from. $cientology is indefensible, and slowly but surely the cracks in its rusty armor are beginning to show. Time to take a wooden stake and drive it through the metaphorical chink in the breastplate and to kill this vampiric blood sucking criminal organization.

Anon influence in Parliament House? More likely than you think.

I'm starting to compile a package for him with all the basic infos including links to EXSCNKids and YFTC More people who post in these things the better.

As the Opposition Leader it's his job to disagree with EVERYTHING someone from the Govt. says--but maybe once his eyes are opened we can get him on-side too.

Another person to harpoon is independent Ian Hunter. He's spoken about the Mercy Ministries as a cult in Parliament this year

Please forward this story to Mediawatch: mediawatch@your.abc.net.au
And while you're there, watch this video: Media Watch: Tom Cruise goes Missing (25/02/2008).

MediaWatch eats Channel 9 for breakfast and will be delighted to know that page 3 of today's Advertiser features the doctored photograph again (the one that edited Cruise's name out). I've already tipped them about this but the more that do it = more WIN.

Quote:
The decision to alter the photograph was made on legal advice which was given to a person on the news desk…The decision…is not one that I agree with...It's something that slipped by in the process.

As matter of course we don’t publish doctored photographs.

BOOYAH!!!! 6 minutes off the press and we have made the BIG TIME!!!

Official backed in Scientology flap - UPI.com

OFFICIAL BACKED IN SCIENTOLOGY FLAP

Published: July 10, 2008 at 9:25 PM

ADELAIDE, Australia, July 10 (UPI) -- The South Australian government said Friday that the education minister had a right to call Scientologists "bastards" in a video posted on YouTube.

Jane Lomax-Smith made the comments in May when she encountered demonstrators from a group that calls itself Anonymous outside the Church of Scientology headquarters in Adelaide, The Australian reports. Lomax-Smith asked the masked protesters if they were related to people who had been "sucked in" by Scientology.

"They should be taxed, the bastards," she added. "They shouldn't be tax-free; we're subsidizing them. I like your masks."

Anonymous posted the video on the Internet, leading to an official protest from the church to South Australian Premier Mike Rann. In a statement Thursday from Sydney, the church said that Lomax-Smith should not promote intolerance.

Rann's office said that Lomax-Smith was giving her own views in a private conversation as she has a right to do.

The church, founded by L. Ron Hubbard, a science fiction writer, has a number of high-profile members, including movie stars John Travolta and Tom Cruise.



MY COMMENTS: heh! "fuckin a" comes to mind!
