Exclusive Brethren exposed – Senate inquiry move

If you didn’t hear it on Sunday make sure you don’t miss the repeat of Background Briefing on Radio National this Tuesday 2 May at 7.10 pm. You can also listen to the program online here.

Reporter Wendy Carlisle takes a closer look at the shadowy religious sect the Exclusive Brethren including its work in attacking the Greens. See the previous post from March on benoquist.com for some detail about the Brethren’s underhand activities in attempting to sabotage the Greens.

Also check out the recent exposure on JJJ’s Hack program (Wednesday April 26 broadcast).

On the back of the revelations in the Background Briefing program and Hack about secret funding of Liberal party campaigns (dating as far back to John Hewson in 1993) and more horror stories of family break ups, Greens Senator Bob Brown told me yesterday that he would be moving for Senate inquiry into the activities of the Exclusive Brethren.

I hope you enjoy some of my ideas and analysis. I am unashamedly Green and much of what you will find here relates to Green politics however I write about a range of current state and national political issues that might have wider appeal.
