This is it folks. March 15th is fast approaching and the preparations for the march plow on despite a few red herrings. The following is a copy of a petition that we have drawn up in an effort to get enough signatures to request a public inquest into Scientology and it’s tax exempt status. This is the big one folks.

For those of you who are concerned about your name appearing if you sign the petition, we will be gathering public signatories and mixing up anon signatories amongst them, meaning your anonymity remains intact as you blend in with the general public. Few specifics are required, just names, signatures and your region. Please read this draft version of the petition and suggest as many changes as you like. All changes suggested for this weeks Media Release were added and your contribution on this would greatly benefit the final product. Now without further ado:

To the Honourable the President and Members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:

The Petition of the undersigned shows:

That the public has become aware of the human rights abuses and corporate nature of Scientology. By exhibiting this behaviour we feel that Scientology is abusing its Tax Exempt Status and the rights of Australian Citizens.

Your Petitioners ask/request that the Senate should:

• conduct a public inquiry into the practices of Scientology be undertaken to reveal the true extent of their “Fair Game” and “Disconnection” policies in Australia.
• order the ATO to Audit the Church of Scientology to show the amount of tax exempt dollars used for charitable work.
• consider that a third principle be added to the High Court definition of religion, being that a religion “must ensure the Human Rights of its practitioners (past, present and future) are not abused in any way as a result of joining, practicing, leaving the religion.

Due to the unbridled success of the Mini-Raid on 1st of March, and the increasing necessity to raise awareness and inspire action amongst the populace, we are holding another Mini-Raid. Donations are being collected to raise funds for public liability insurance and March 15 is less than two weeks away, the time to promote our cause grows short.

So gentlemen, we once again ask you to don your masks and join us in taking to the streets armed with flyers and a perpetual smile. February 10th was just the beginning. We need more people to stand up if we really want to see Scientology’s tax exempt status removed and it’s criminal abuses of human rights brought to light.

Again we meet on a Saturday, March 8th this time, at 14:00 in Hindmarsh Square near the Griffin’s Head. Depending on numbers a few small groups will then embark on a distribution run in and around the CBD. The groups need to be kept small to avoid the need for Public Liability Insurance as well as giving us a better opportunity to cover more ground.

If you have any suggestions or questions feel free to leave a comment or join us in IRC. A petition has been suggested and may be available to sign if we can come up with appropriate wording. If you are interested your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
