going by what I read yes more than likely as it falls under entertainment and selling tickets

Collections for Charitable Purposes Overview

The Collections for Charitable Purposes Act 1939 regulates fundraising activities conducted for a "charitable purpose" as defined in the Act.

The definition of "charitable purpose" includes:-

The affording of relief to diseased, disabled, sick, infirm, incurable, poor, destitute, helpless, or unemployed persons, or to the dependents of any such persons.

The relief of distress occasioned by war, whether occasioned in South Australia or elsewhere.

The affording of relief, assistance, or support to persons who are or have been members of the armed forces of Australia or to the dependents of any such persons.

The provision of welfare services for animals.

Charitable organisations that are not collecting for a charitable purpose as described above do not require licensing and therefore will not be found on the Charities List (e.g. religious organisations, environmental groups and educational institutions).

Any charity seeking access to Commonwealth taxation concessions and other Commonwealth benefits and concessions, including deductible gift recipient (DGR) status, is required to be registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission.

Fundraising activities for a "charitable purpose" include:

Doorknock appeals

Telemarketing

Donations to clothing bins

Sales of goods at secondhand shops

Seeking bequests

Badge days

Public appeals

Film nights

I agree, when the facts come out at the trial people will be wishing they weren't associated with Moorook. Others will think that the supporters either have no problem with the cruelty that goes on there or they just blindly support anything without any facts.

Do you really think so? Isn't it at the stage of conspiracy theory where nothing said in court will be true?

possibly.

Will be interesting to see how this all pans out long term. Will Moorook close down??!! Will the supporters get ired enough to demand for changes in the Animal Welfare legislation??!! Will the RSPCA be brought down a peg or two [/tic]??!!

My nan got an 8 month old dog from rescue 2 years ago [cross bred SWF], and she's 88 this year. Still sprightly and has no problems looking after her dog.

Jeez mid 60's is not elderly, but hope they find a better rescue to go to.

Some small success... Save A Kitty SA have pulled out of the awareness day after finally realising the ultimatum.

That's a positive, considering what has happened.

Attendance at the rally will be assumed to be support for Moorook no matter what the stall holders think. Does Mark really think he can stop the rspca if they want on his property, if they have a warrant that gives them access they'll just break down the barricades, can he really believe this No wonder he never gets elected he isn't all that smart.

Well yes if they have a warrant and he tried to blockade, then the police can handcuff and physically remove him from the property and the RSPCA can go in.

nvm I was too slow lol

Wasn't there another in WA??!!

I guess in regards to Moorook, I empathised a lot, as I was on the receiving end of a vexatious report about my horse [back when she was having trouble with a hoof abscess]. All was ok though with the RSPCA, ended up having a good yak to her about many other things [she was quite nice]. But it made me reserved about talking to anyone when ailments arised :\ and this was done by a malicious member of the family too

I've only heard of 3 of them, and now I thought C.A.T.S inc were ok doing subsidised cat sterilization [well was led to believe that's what they do, heard about them years ago back in the 90s]

feral mentality

That more than enough for me, don't want to know more if it's really horrible

That is pretty gross and sad Snook

I try not to be harsh as would hate to be in that predicament. I'd always believed Moorook were doing good [had never been up there though so was going on the say so of others...my cousin got a kelpie x from there late last year], but now, I'm still not sure exactly - but from what I've been reading here mainly...there is genuine cause for concern. Have to let the justice system take care of it.

Last I heard they had lawyer, but for criminal court they needed a barrister

The RSPCA seldom lose in court...unless they don't by some weird twist of fate.

I give them 10 points for having faith, but I don't think this will end the way they're hoping it will.

I did, because I'm nosy. Can set it up so they don't appear in your newsfeed, just make a new interest and add them to it. Then just click and read when you want to. Once it's all over can just delete it all. Doesn't stop things appearing in the right hand ticker, but tbh I seldom read that.

I did caution a supporter on the Adelaide Now page about going off when a court case is coming up as it can be detrimental to the shelter [although at this stage, I think it's past detrimental and halfway down the passage]. Did quieten down some there.

Can add him as a friend, he pretty much adds anyone who sends a request

I think the 'supporters' going off half cocked have been instrumental in proceedings [if they are taking place]. The rudeness and profanities have been off putting [even by my standards], especially on other sites. There's ways and means of doing things and well they've been going about it all wrong

...seldom watch tv. Only watch Game of Thrones or Sky News on fox, the rest is whatever tickles my fancy on ABC's iview or I read. Can't stand reality tv nor silly controversial shows.

I can just imagine a government telling me I need separate bowls for my sheep

Probably already in the works

Business: a premise with three or more fertile female dogs or cats used for the purpose of breeding or, for members of an applicable organisation, 10 or more fertile female dogs or cats; or a premise where rearing of weaned animals from breeding business are kept.

The Code is mandatory for:

• all breeders with 3 or more fertile female dogs or cats that are not currently registered members of an Applicable Organisation, or
• all breeders who are registered with an Applicable Organisation and have 10 or more fertile female dogs or cats.

The black plasticy thingy on the side of the Ezydog quick fit is for id tags [as a lot of people use just the harness and not a collar when out and about]

Very easy to make typos, so I tend not to pick on people who do make them. But in this instance I couldn't stop myself, as it was rather ironic.

Most of the time I gloss over them and read errors as the word they're meant to be, but that one just stuck out like veritable dog's jatz crackers :)
