There are also apparent serious issues of curiculum content not included or included by these schools, but that's not a reason to deny them funding it would seem? It is to me? I dislike them intensely, I dislike their misogynist attitudes, their protection even for sexual abusers, and their interference in all elections, even though they don't vote? I find their attitudes to gays and lesbians as hateful as any bigots in the community, and feel angry that they are financially supported for their hatred and lack of scrutiny into their affairs. When I think of the hatred aimed at people from the Middle East in their quest for building schools in western Sydney for example, it would appear, that the attitude to this 'cult' is excused by all levels of government. That's not democracy? The Libs, state and federal have used these peoples' money for their own ends - I call that 'prostitution' of the worst kind!

Members have been duped into thinking their fund has performed in a stellar manner. Once the accountants or the valuers perform a mark to market exercise, watch the unit prices tumble.
