You may have heard that the Australian Government has announced two important inquiries recently. The Australian Evangelical Alliance and Missions Interlink wished to respond intelligently and responsibly to these inquiries - with the interest of our member organisations uppermost in our minds.

After a forum discussion in Melbourne mid August, AEA and MI were able to make a detailed submission to the Senate Economics Committee reviewing this. Keith Benson, the facilitator of this network, was heavily involved in the drafting of this submission. A copy of this document is attached. 

AEA and MI have been asked to appear before a public hearing of the Senate Economics Committee at 1.45 pm Melbourne time on 30 October.This will be a crucial opporunity for clear input on behalf of our members.
