1 Australian senator attacks 'criminal' Scientology November 18, 2009,
An Australian senator has called for a parliamentary inquiry into Scientology - and the allegations made by former members he cited could help ongoing lawsuits and criminal investigations in Europe and the US.
An independent member of Australia's senate has launched an extraordinary attack on Scientology, denouncing it as a criminal organisation and calling for a Senate inquiry into the movement's tax-exempt status.
Senator Nick Xenophon used his parliamentary privilege to list a catalogue of allegations passed on to him by former members, some of whom said officials in the movement had covered up serious crimes.[1]
