Scientology inquiry rebuff a 'cop out' November 19, 2009,
Independent senator Nick Xenophon has described as a "cop out" coalition reluctance to back his call for a Senate inquiry into the Church of Scientology.
The senator, in a scathing parliamentary attack on Tuesday, labelled the church a criminal organisation hiding behind so-called religious beliefs.
He called for a Senate inquiry into the church's tax-exempt status and a police investigation of criminal allegations.
