EN0991 Stop charitable status for religions

Dear Petitioner,



This is to provide you with an update on the progress of your recent petition on the following terms.

Petition number:	EN0991 (Please quote in future correspondence)
Date submitted:	29/07/2019
Number of signatures:	227

Terms:

• Reason: The recent Royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse has shown the religious organisations in this country are only interested in protecting themselves and making money. If they were truly a charitable organisation there would have been no need for a royal Commission into the raping and abusing and in some cases torture of children.
• Request: We therefore ask the House to cancel charitable status for all religious organisations and have them start paying taxes like any other business.

The petition was considered at a recent meeting of the Committee, and certified as meeting the requirements for petitions. It was presented to the House on 9/09/2019 and has recently been referred to the Treasurer. Under the petition requirements, Ministers have 90 days from presentation in the House to respond to a petition.

Why do we bother with petitions? Supposed to be trying to get MPs to take notice of what the people want. Protecting the paedophiles again.
