Abstract
This submission addresses Consultation questions 4 and 9 in relation to the advancement of religion head of charitable purpose. In addition, some general comments are made concerning Consultation question 18 in relation to a harmonised definition of charity. My submission draws upon my work on the legal regulation of religious financing and my expertise in trusts law generally. In particular, my comments in relation to the advancement of religion draw upon a recent draft article, Religious Charitable Status and Public Benefit in Australia. A copy of the article is attached to this submission and the main points from that article are extracted in the following discussion. I request that the article itself not be published on your website because it is currently under review by an Australian law journal.
