澳大利亚反对党领袖安格斯·泰勒和自由党联邦主席托尼·阿博特正在参加由Plymouth Brethren基督教会的慈善机构Rapid Relief Team赞助的自行车骑行活动1。这一举动引发关注，因为该教会最近被曝光在上次选举期间向新纳粹分子和极右翼人士支付费用以骚扰和恐吓政治人物1。
气候行动组织Climate 200已将这家教会转介给澳大利亚慈善和非营利委员会进行调查1。该教会关联的慈善机构拥有超过2.95亿澳元的税免净资产1。教会发言人Lloyd Grimshaw否认该组织参与赞助极右翼活动或选举宣传1，但工党议员Jerome Laxale指出Grimshaw的证词"留下的问题多于答案"1。包括国家党领导人Matt Canavan在内的7名议员则联合声明称调查是"超党派的猎巫"1。
Opposition Leader Angus Taylor and Liberal Party Federal President Tony Abbott are participating in a cycling event sponsored by Rapid Relief Team, the charitable arm of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, days after the organization faced serious allegations regarding its conduct during the recent election 1. The church has come under investigation following revelations that it allegedly paid neo-Nazi sympathizers and far-right activists to harass and intimidate political figures 1.
Climate 200's executive director Byron Fay has referred the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church to the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission for investigation into potential violations of charity law 1. The Brethren-affiliated charity organization holds tax-exempt net assets exceeding A$295 million 1. Church spokesperson Lloyd Grimshaw has denied the organization's involvement in sponsoring far-right activities or electoral campaigns 1, yet Labor MP Jerome Laxale stated that Grimshaw's testimony "raises more questions than it answers" 1. A joint statement from seven parliamentarians, including Nationals leader Matt Canavan, characterized the investigation as a "cross-party witch hunt" 1.
