A whistleblower has shared financial records and board papers that indicate alleged fraud, money laundering, and tax evasion on the part of Hillsong Church, with a long history of misconduct including cover-ups and pedophilia dating back many years.
Australian Labor MP Daniel Mookhey says that he has reported allegations of misconduct at Hillsong Church, including pedophilia and financial crimes, to the New South Wales Police Commissioner, and urges the authorities to act urgently if the allegations are true.
Investigative journalist, Sophie McNeill, reports that Hillsong Church uses non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and silence to prevent people from speaking out about the church, causing a culture of submission. Despite McNeill's attempts to contact the church about their practices, they have yet to respond.
A whistleblower provided financial records and board papers showing that Hillsong is breaking laws relating to fraud, money laundering, and tax evasion. The records also revealed former leader Brian Houston using church money to treat private jets like Ubers.
