Each month, the Rationalist Society of Australia hosts a webinar, with a guest speaker, or speakers, presenting on a topic of interest. We share highlights of our past webinars here on this podcast.

This episode features highlights from our June webinar with Dr Philip Saj, Visiting Scholar at The Business School at University of Adelaide.

In the webinar, he spoke on the topic ‘Basic Religious Charities: The case for more transparency’. He shared insights from his research into Basic Religious Charities (BRCs) and their unique place in Australia’s charities system, enjoying exemptions from the financial reporting requirements and governance standards that apply to other charities. You can watch the full webinar here on our YouTube channel.

Dr Saj told the webinar that removing exemptions for BRCs would enhance public trust in the charities system. Read a review of the webinar here on our website.

In August this year, Crikey wrote an article about Dr Saj’s research in BRCs. You can read it here.

The theme music of the Secular Agenda podcast is called 'Curiosity', and it's by Shimmer.
