I might be wrong, but didn't the Abbott government get rid of the woman who was exerting some control over the charity business?

I agree with Cobber. Not just on Hillsong, but all religious organizations.

What about the Victorian Bushfire relief fund? Millions donated and where is it now? I looked on the website and there was no indication of any money anywhere. Never mind that pitiful creature Christine Nixon who really needed another meal?
Charity and churches are to be avoided always and give them nothing, except some well placed abuse of course.

It's not only the co-called religious 'charities', it is the whole religious corporation that is considered a 'charity'. All organised Religions pay zero tax on multi billion dollar profits from their casinos, real estate, share holdings; they pay no council rates, their maintenance bills are subsidised, their salaries are termed donations, that means all Australians pay a huge religious tax and we call this a secular country. Italians with the Pope in their midst can choose whether to pay a religious tax or not. We can't. And most of the charities they front are subsidised by the taxpayer.
