The Christian Lobby is a registered charity, which means it pays no tax and receives other financial benefits. For example, Visa, MasterCard and American Express all give charities interchange fees of 0 per cent.
This morning Nine newspapers reported “a number of complainants” had raised concerns with the ACNC over the Christian Lobby’s efforts to help Folau.
“The ACNC can investigate concerns that a charity has breached the ACNC Act or the Governance Standards,” the ACNC said in response.
“This may include not pursuing its charitable purpose, not operating in a not-for-profit manner, or providing private benefits to members.”
