| Message | Mr. Speaker This is an over step of the government in organized religion. By baring them from receiving any remuneration we are dictating to the faiths themselves. What a Church choses to pay it's own Minister is not a concern if the government as long as it isn't taxpayer money. Further forcing missionaries to register with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is an overreach of our authority. We vehemently oppose these measures. Mitchell Court Conservative Senate Leader Senator for Sutton |
