Quote "It already gathers essential information about the performance of charities." NO it gathers the rubbery figures the charities give it.

Every charity should publish the REAL amounts paid to senior staff as well as the other benefits they get, like car, housing, tax exemptions, credit cards etc.

Lots of people know the accounting tricks they use, why don't you stop them and make them use real figures.

If a company gives them 1000 shirts that were selling for $50 each the charity gives them away and on the books say they gave $50,000 so the overall fees paid to management seem low.

Also counting volunteers or very low paid people as workers making the ratio of salary paid to management seems low.

Commissioner Johns, I have watched many Commission Investigations on ABC TV, to say the least, they are a farce. What goes on is absolutely laughable. None of these high Flyers ever answers a question directly & when the Questioner does get close, suddenly they are out of time.

These high flying CEO's get paid millions, plus Expenses & Bonuses, & suddenly it's, "I have no knowledge of that Commissioner" & that is accepted. ?? At this point myself & everybody else watching goes, "WTF," in disbelief.

We, of the lowly common unwashed throng, didn't come down in the last shower of rain. If these people don't know anything about their Businesses' or what is going on in their Businesses then why are they getting paid those horrific Salaries plus Expenses & Bonuses? Why are they allowed to make a fool out of the Commission & why does the Commission allow them to get away with it.

We, of the lowly common unwashed throng, are sick & tied of the BS we are supposed to accept as Justice seeming to be served. It is not. We, suspect that there is a lot of, "Wink, wink, nudge, nudge going on." amongst the "Elite."

Then there are the Recommendations which are treated as a big Joke by the two major Parties. The two major Parties make a big deal out of the Recommendations but very few, if any, ever get implemented. Then everyone goes back to sleep.

It is quite true when they say, "The law is an Ass,"

Please take this in the spirit of good intention. Not as a condemnation of the Law Elite.
