“We don’t pay tax but deserve taxpayer money”

I hope the parents rip the author a new one! A variation of the same letter was sent to parents of catholic students in Hamilton, Dan Tehans home town. Not good enough Catholic Education Office!

if they want to interfere in elections they can pay tax like the rest of us do.

Writing to parents in an effort to retain your overgenerous funding, not getting into any issue of who to vote for in terms of social equity, reducing poverty etc.
So not surprised

Catholic Church acting without any ethics at all in their attempt to scrounge more money… totally on brand

Bah! The Catholic churches and schools were directing their parishioners and student parents to vote Liberal / DLP from back in the 60s. They have never been "a-political".

Tax the Churches. They are not supposed to get involved in politics.

Impose tax and halt any school funding.
If the MACS are a lobbyist for the LNP then they must be an assessable private entity. As a taxpayer, I resent my money being directed their way.
Morons.

Having worked in the Catholic education system in the recent-ish past this is beyond the pale. Simply disgusting.

Separation of church and state? Not where Comensoli and his corporate Catholicism is concerned.

Women (nuns and teachers) kept Catholic education alive, these aresholes will destroy it

The "Jesus wants you to vote Liberal" faction of Catholicism gives me the shits.
Jesus had (and has) a much more expansive view of how God's love should be carried into the world. This narrow emphasis on school funding is pharisaical.
I hope it backfires on them.
