The Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, has just gone public expressing his "concern".
Please email Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull to express support for an inquiry into the CoS.

Australian PM 'concerned' about Scientology | The Australian
PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd says he has concerns about the Church of Scientology but wants to see what material independent senator Nick Xenophon has before committing to a parliamentary inquiry.
...snip...
Asked about the senator's claims, Mr Rudd described them as "grave allegations".
"Many people in Australia have real concerns about Scientology," Mr Rudd said.
"I share some of those concerns. Let us proceed carefully and look carefully at the material he has provided before we make a decision on further parliamentary action."
Asked about the Church of Scientology's tax exempt status, Mr Rudd said he was advised the High Court had dealt with the matter back in the 1980s.
"I am so advised, but I stand to be corrected," he said.
"Therefore the true question is the actual nature of the operations that involve Scientology now.
"I don't want to rush into any judgment on this, other than to say he's (Senator Xenophon) raised concerns and made some serious allegations."
NB. The High Court determined that Scientology was a religion. Surely that's not the only criterion for tax exempt status. Can an organisation not become ineligible by its criminal conduct?
