Comments are open, but I cant find the documents which were mentioned on the show (scn responses etc).

There were no actual links to docs, they just set forth the Co$ response in full:

"It is inappropriate for the Church to make comment on the claims of former volunteers and religious ministers of the Church of Scientology, given that they have filed formal complaints with the Fair Work Ombudsman and that investigation is now in progress. This should be allowed to run its course.

The Fair Work Ombudsman has not handed down any findings and has requested all parties keep confidential the interim findings.

All religious work for the Church of Scientology is done by volunteers and their period of religious service helping others and engaging in community work such drug education; literacy and numeracy programs; health; human rights promotion and disaster relief is also a manifestation of their religious beliefs.

This is no different to many other charities and religions in Australia, which rely upon the generosity of their volunteer workers and ours do so freely, wishing to help their Church and community.

The Church of Scientology was declared a bona fide religion by the High Court of Australia in 1983."

Wow. It's a great piece. Dean, you're a jet!

I think Nick Xenophon might be pissed, though. I'm pretty sure he did not agree to footage of him being part of any story published before the final report comes down.

I wonder if ACA will get an SRA.

Ok. So it would be inappropriate to comment. But they will anyway. You couldn't make this stuff up.
