Brown flays non-Greens Senators as
Exclusive Brethren inquiry denied
 
Greens Leader Bob Brown has attached the Exclusive Brethren's ban on children going to university as abhorrent and unconscionable in 2006 Australia.
 
The Senate voted down the Greens' motion for an inquiry into the secretive sect's political and social activities.
 
Millions of dollars of taxpayers money fund the sect's education system which in turn denies thousands of children their essential right to a full education in this modern western democracy.
 
"The Senate should investigate, not abandon, these children," Senator Brown said.
 
Senator Brown challenged the Elect Vessel, Bruce Hales, to a public debate on the sect's 'un-Christian' treatment of children, relegation of women and global political aspirations.
