Mob associated with Hillsong do a lot more harm than good

Surely, recent revelations about the activities of the Hillsong-associated Mercy Ministries requires a response from an Australian government department.

That Mercy Ministries avails itself of government funding for highly questionable motives is in itself a disgrace, but that no government department, and especially a cabinet member of the Rudd Government, has as yet stepped up to the plate and put this matter on the public record suggests this mob of bible-bashers continues to wield power that they ought not have.

Mercy Ministries' Peter Irvine initially reckoned "only (that's Irvine's wording, not mine!) three" women had negative experiences with Mercy Ministries. Irvine subsequently revised the number and said it was six. Come on Mr Irvine, spare us the crap. One is one too many!

The problems with Mercy Ministries were raised in the Senate, but a move for a Senate directed ACCC investigation was blocked by the Liberals and Nationals. (See that last link for more details on it.)
