Government LOVE the charities they use them extensively to HIDE the real cost of the so-called refugees.

One problem of this method is as well as support the so-called refugees the Australian taxpayer is directly subsidizing the high salaries of the executives of the charities.

Something needs to change Juliar give us the REAL cost of these economic invaders not your rubbery figures that most people know are another one of your many lies.

Any organisation that can be labelled a religion is automatically considered a charitable organisation and therefore pays no taxes, no rates, nothing towards the state. Worse, they are not required to have their financial activities audited, so no one knows what they spend their money on. The Roman Catholic Church has an annual income of over 8 billion dollars untaxed from their stocks and shares, hotels, casinos and property, yet the state supports their schools and their "charities". The Anglicans and United enjoy untaxed incomes of over 2 billion dollars each untaxed from a very wide portfolio of assets, yet a year or so ago the Anglicans withdrew from some of their "charitable" work because the stock market plunged.
The only inference to be drawn is that religions only offer charity because it's a money spinner for them because they are never held to account.
Meanwhile excellent charities are under or simply not funded, although failure to do so places enormous costs down the line. An obvious example is the care of ex-prisoners after release from jail. Anyone who gives to a religious charity is supporting one of the great scams of all time. If Religious corporations paid their share of tax, that would be enough to do all the charitable work needed.

No funding for charities? About time.

And while you're at it, stop taking while you stop giving: fines-as-revenue, application fees, permits, licences, rates, tolls, stamp duties, sin taxes, registrations, blah, blah, blah.
