Stop it for good
Neville, It’s now been 253 days since Kevin Andrews, the Social Services Minister, introduced a bill to repeal the charities commission. Despite that, the Government has not yet had the guts to bring the bill to a vote. Why? Because they know they’ll lose the vote in the Senate. Let’s make sure they never bring it to a vote and make sure they understand Australians don’t back their repeal of the charities commission. Today is also the second birthday of the charities commission, which has done a terrific job for community organisations. Four out of five charities continue to support it, while hardly any approve of the government’s vague notion of going back to the tax office as charities regulator. That’s why we need to stand up for the charities commission. Click here to share our petition today. We can make sure our Members of Parliament understand — Australians support the charities commission. Andrew Leigh |
