Exclusive Brethren's easy access to the PM's ear

Getting access to PM Howard and Ministers in the Coalition government is, for most people, not an easy task, but members of the Exclusive Brethren don't seem to have such troubles.



What's so special about them?



Perhaps the ABC's reports that "a former member of the Exclusive Brethren has revealed the secretive religious sect has been transferring large sums of money across the world, possibly to fund political campaigns in Australia and the US" provides an explanation as to why thet get 'special treatment'.

The full report is at http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/10/15/2059279.htm?site=elections/federal/2007



On October 15, ABC TV's Four Corners provided an informative examination of the machinations of the Exclusive Brethren. See the program at

Are the Exclusive Brethren on the nose, or what?



PM Howard and his Ministers who have provided Exclusive Brethren members with easy access to them defend their actions by saying that the EB are like any other constituents and have the right of access to elected representatives. Sure, but why do they get to the front of the queue so easily AND so often? Something ain't right!

The holy power of the almighty dollar is a very real thing my friend .It helps the brethrens prayers to be answered .No unions ! no worrys ! with the almighty dollar (praise be to it !) and little Jonny on side .

If the little Johnny/brethren dictatorship comes to pass not only might we see the vision of no unions for the working man/woman .Maybe it will next become law that ALL Australians must go to church and women must wear hankys on their heads , and men will be banned from wearing shorts too .
And any refusing to bow to this united Australian Christian heratige , will be seperated from their children and familys .
