Exclusive Brethren Church's Surprisingly Ambiguous Statements in Parliamentary Hearing
Bruce Hales appeared before Parliament to address allegations that the Exclusive Brethren Church supported the Liberals in the 2025 election and paid neo-Nazi associates to harass the Prime Minister. Despite denying any 'organising' activities, the church admitted to 'coordinating' efforts. This could set a new benchmark for secretive groups in describing their involvement in public affairs. The Prime Minister's office, who were not present, gave a nonchalant response: 'Just another day of drizzle, folks.' The hearing ended with a note that the church's admission of coordination could set a new precedent for how secretive groups describe their involvement in public affairs.
