Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has welcomed the stripping of a radical vegan activist group’s charity status, saying there was “nothing charitable” about the “green criminals” and their invasion of farmer’s homes and properties.
The militant group called Aussie Farms drew scorn from Morrison’s ruling conservative coalition government after publishing an interactive online map with farmers’ full personal details in a bid to encourage attacks against them.
The group sparked outrage among farming organizations and propelled the little-known outfit into the national spotlight as Morrison branded the activists as “grubs” and pledged to strengthen trespass laws.
The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission has now revoked its charity status after an investigation. Without charity status, Aussie Farms will lose all of its tax concessions, including income tax exemption.
“Aussie Farms encouraged the invasion of farmers’ homes & properties & the sabotaging of businesses,” Morrison tweeted on Tuesday night.
“It’s why we introduced new laws to ban that sort of bullying of our farmers. There’s nothing charitable about it & I welcome news the group’s charity status has now been revoked.”

This is not the first time Morrison has taken on the Green movement in Australia.
Last April he called animal rights activists “un-Australian green criminals” following protests around Australia, including a major one in Melbourne which led to the arrest of 38 people.
The prime minister said his government was prepared to join a legal challenge if any landholder wanted to launch court action against animal rights activists protesting on their farms.
That threat to act in the interests of farmers and landholders has now been made good by Morrison.

farmers now that is going to hurt .
Spray the jerks with liquified animal poop spray them so they stink and all need baths
You are assuming they don’t already need baths? There’s a reason my generation called these people “stinky hippies”, they typically don’t have the best hygiene.
Farmers should greet eco-Nazi with shotguns. Too bad, they have been disarmed by the government for their own good. How they are going to protect their farms against the fascists’ mobs now? Sue them?Good luck with that.
Its way past time they went after these Animal Rights idiots like the jerks who go to grocery stores and supermarkets and block the meat coolers these jerks need to be sn hown the door and its time for PETA to lose its charity status and all the other radical animal rights groups as well
It’s about time someone started to really challenge the totally out of control, mindless lefty idiots who infest our society. A great step forward Mr Morrison.
