Plenty of everyday Aussies out there giving up their time and cash for people less fortunate but still pay their fair share to the state.

Churches are run by businesses these days and should obey the relevant laws.

Tax the bottom line like everyone else.
As you said Plague they legally circumvent the laws as the laws are written in a way they can. They ain't doing anything wrong at all.

No different to the wealthy and elite dodging tax (Kerry Packer) not paying staff ( Hello Tinkler ) etc

Church only plays by the rules

Don't hate the player hate the game etc
