Default Federal Senate Inquiry into the CofS, called for, in Australian Parliament tonight

In Parliament tonight, Senator Xenophon called for a Senate Inquiry into the Church of Scientology, and gave his reasons why.

When the hansard (transcript) of Senator Xenophon's speech to the Senate (which was bloody awesome ) is available, we'll post it.

And, media will follow tomorrow, so stay tuned!

A fantastic blow for freedom has been struck - I was totally blown away by his speech and it seemed like the whole Senate were too.

No sleep for OSA ANZO tonight.

Probably for the next few weeks actually.

Try to place that poor man's feet on solid ground
Just remember he's some mother's precious darlin'
Always lift him up and never knock him down

My love & thanks to all of you who have stood up and said it like it was.

I have nothing but respect and admiration for you.

I heard the speech. I had tears.

My thanks to the Senator.

Love to all on this big night.

What's that rumble!? - It's like stampeding bisons in the morning fog, unseen yet.. Making the ground shake! (Recall the scene in 'Dances With Wolves)

Better issue an avalance warning! - If there's time!!!

Default Don't F$@# with Carmel I said

Well done Carmel.
I look back at the meetings I had with church officials in the past and how I said:
"If you want to fix ANZO, confront the injustice done to the Underwoods"

And of course they never did. The lies and crimes were kept hidden and now the roof is falling down on CoS.

Seek to live with the truth ! It's the best way!

If you are an OSA terminal reading this, do yourself a favour and have a cognition.

Once again, well done Carmel.
