The Melborne Age reports that:

A writ is expected to be filed in the High Court on Wednesday alleging the involvement of the secretive Exclusive Brethren in a variety of crimes, including fraud and kidnapping.

Three sisters, from India, who say they are on the run from the religious sect, allege they can link it to numerous crimes.

The women also allege the Exclusive Brethren is involved in money laundering, immigration fraud in New Zealand and bribery of police and members of the judiciary in India.

    Of course not, that’s why he’s no longer in the Labour Party. Duh.

    “Religious bigotry does not become you.”

    What a strange comment.

    Who is ‘you’?

    What religious bigotry?

    Should we presume that people of faith be immune from criticism, or indeed the law?

    What delicate flowers.

    rOb,

    Of course not, that’s why he’s no longer in the Labour Party. Duh.

    If only that were the case. He wasn’t booted out for his alleged immigration indiscretions. He resigned of his own volition because “the increasingly damning language of Prime Minister Helen Clark had been grossly unfair to him and the due process”.

    Though I suspect you already knew that, rOb, but hoped you could pass Labour off as a party of unquestionable integrity.

    He was going to be dumped, and to salvage some pride he jumped first. End result the same. “the increasingly damning language of Prime Minister Helen Clark” says it all.

    Merely to kidnap these young women and trap them in New Zealand, the EB have organized genocide (extermination) of a path breaking Non-Profit Educational Organization in India (where these young women were directors and members) and on over 4000 of its members and students, by buying out key officers of the police, judiciary and politicians in India

    He resigned of his own volition because “the increasingly damning language of Prime Minister Helen Clark had been grossly unfair to him and the due process’.

    Are you suggesting that the PM was intending to keep him on?

    Don’t be a dick.

    There is no organisation called “The Exclusive Brethren”.

    There does appear to be, in this case, some people who are members of a fellowship of people who accede to Exclusive Brethren beliefs, who are presumably alleged to have carried out the acts in question.

    This salient point should have become abundantly clear to the newspaper in question as well as the NZ Labour Party and everyone commenting on this thread.
