hey all.
just finished a new flyer titled "a fair go for australia not FAIR GAME", just briefly explains scientology, and talks about the COS's tax exempt status- i also threw in jane lomax smith's quote of 'tax the bastards'
i did use some info from xenu.net, and i'm thinking it might be a little too harsh so to speak- but i'll let you all be the judge, feel free to post any ideas for this flyer, or for a new one.

I like it. I like that you've got the flag top and bottom.
A few changes to the text that would make it really pop: You could mention that there's a Hubbard directive that states "Make money. Make people make money. Make more money" or words to that effect, let me dig it up for you so you can cite it. Ah, here we go:
"MAKE MONEY. MAKE MORE MONEY. MAKE OTHER PEOPLE PRODUCE SO AS TO MAKE MORE MONEY."
- L. Ron Hubbard, Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter, 9 March 1972, MS OEC 384
You could also chuck in something about him being a racist, although not sure where exactly you could put that, but it's the sort of thing that would stick with people. The relevant quote is:
"They smell of all the baths they didn't take. The trouble with China is, there are too many chinks here."
- L. Ron Hubbard's diary, 1928. (Jon Atack, A PIECE OF BLUE SKY: SCIENTOLOGY, DIANETICS AND L. RON HUBBARD EXPOSED. Lyle Stuart/Carol Publishing Group 1990)
The sources he took from to cobble together Dianetics and Scilontology include: Alfred Korzybski's General Semantics, kharma, dharma, Freud, Jung, Sargant, Tao te Ching and Buddha including others.
A list of Hubbard quotes you might find useful can be found here: http://www.xenu.net/archive/infopack/5.htm
Also to give it an Aussie flavour, you could cite the legal ruling here in Australia that made Scilontology illegal: article reposted here - http://www.suburbia.com.au/~fun/scn/press/801219ag.htm and
Justice Anderson, Supreme Court of Victoria, Australia:
"Scientology is evil; its techniques are evil; its practice is a serious threat to the community, medically, morally, and socially; and its adherents are sadly deluded and often mentally ill… (Scientology is) the world's largest organization of unqualified persons engaged in the practice of dangerous techniques which masquerade as mental therapy."
