Daffy Duck chides the IPA for being a "charity".

More correctly, IPA is registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), as are:

Australian Conservation Foundation
Earthwatch
Greenpeace

and hundreds of others.

Wonder why he didn't mention them? Wonder if it's because a lot of them run Left propaganda?

Perhaps any and all such donations could be handed to the electoral commission to redistribute with politically blind, equal handed, pro rata, equanimity?

Excellant idea and the best yet. Lets go with it.

This offer just arrived:

Salamu Alaikum,

Claim your Arafah virtues and blessings.
“This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favour upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion." (Qur’an 5:3)

The ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah is the Day of 'Arafah, the day on which the Hajj pilgrims gather at the mountain plain of 'Arafah, praying and supplicating to their Lord. This is a day to increase in giving of charity. The Prophet (pbuh) said, “There is no day on which Allah frees people from the Fire more so than on the day of Arafah.” (Tirmidhi)
This Arafah, don’t miss out!
Earn your reward by giving Qurbani!

When the Prophet (pbuh) was asked about the reward of offering Qurbani he (pbuh) said "A reward for every hair (of the sacrificed animal)."

"And (what reward is there for animals with) wool, Oh Messenger of Allah (pbuh)?" they asked.

"A reward", he said, "for every fibre of the wool." (Ibn Majah).
-

This could save the wool industry from bushfires. Sheep can be trucked to Arafah or city mosques for sacrifice after recording fibre width and length and current auction prices .Results will be assessed by their local Rural Fire Charities.

Hey Daffy Duck,
What's the 300m ?
I know News Corp got let off 882m in tax a few years back, and they pays little or no tax, also Foxtel got 30m.
Seems like if your a large media company you can do whatever you want and not pay a cent, because you can just pump bad stories against the government and sway opinion polls if you wanted to, but that isn't enough in itself, the government buys the medias complicity in lies it sells the public.
