Well, This week in Australia, there have been a couple of articles of interest relating to our movement. First is an interview Today Tonight did (which took a HUGE stab at Scientology):

And secondly, The City Messenger picked up on the Jane Lomax-Smith video:

Adelaide Minister Jane Lomax-Smith, unaware she is being filmed for the anti-Scientology video.

CITY of Adelaide Minister Jane Lomax-Smith unknowingly appears in an internet video in which she brands members of Scientology as "bastards" while criticising the group's entitlement to tax exemptions for religious organisations.

Her comments were secretly filmed in May by the internet collective Anonymous, which has been conducting protests against Scientology and posted on the online video site, YouTube.

Anonymous members, often wearing eye-catching disguises, have been holding monthly protests against Scientology and its teachings.

The YouTube video shows Dr Lomax-Smith in front of a restaurant in Waymouth St, next door to Scientology, asking a group of masked people: "Are you all related to someone who's been sucked in?"

The video, which appeared to be taken without Dr Lomax-Smith's consent, then hears her discussing Scientology's tax exemptions, a status shared by other religious organisations and charities.

"They should be taxed, the bastards," she is heard saying. "They shouldn't be tax free, we're subsidising them."

In an emailed statement from the ministers' media adviser Leah Manuel, Dr Lomax-Smith said: "It was a private conversation and I was expressing a personal view. There's nothing more to add."

Scientologist spokesman Nigel Manock said he was aware of the video and had sought clarification from the State Government, which had responded by saying Dr Lomax-Smith's views did not reflect State Labor antidiscrimination policy.

And, now… The Australian:

Scientologists are bastards: minister
July 10, 2008

A SOUTH Australian minister has attacked the Church of Scientology, branding its members as "bastards".

Education and Children’s Services Minister Jane Lomax-Smith made the comment to a group of protesters outside the church’s offices in Adelaide.

She was recorded and the video was posted on You Tube sometime after the protest earlier this year.

Ms Lomax-Smith was critical of Scientology’s tax-free status as a religious organisation.

"They should be taxed – the bastards," she told the small group of protesters from an internet collective called Anonymous.

"They shouldn’t be tax-free, we’re subsidising them."

The minister approached the group whose members wear masks and asked whether they were all related to someone who had been "sucked in" by scientology.

She has described her comments as personal views made in a private conversation.

Scientology attracts high-profile converts around the world including actor Tom Cruise who is believed to have introduced one of Australia’s richest men, Jamie Packer, to the church and its practices.

Sorry guys, killed the other thread because it was a repeat, but renamed this thread to a more apt name. And Anon1138, no scans of the print articles yet, advertiser and australian haven't come out yet, but try and find this weeks city messenger, it should be in there.
