            Exclusive Brethren: Union anger over Exclusive Brethren schools money ABC News Tom Nightingale April 7, 2010 Source The Education Union wants the Federal Government to re-consider the funds going to two school campuses run by a religious sect in northern Victoria. Documents show $2 million is being spent at the Exclusive Brethren's campuses in Bendigo and Swan Hill. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has previously labelled the group a cult. The union's federal president, Angelo Gavrielatos, says the money would be better spent at other schools. "There are other schools with a greater demonstrable need that should be given a priority with respect to these funds," he said. "The Government needs to justify why an organisation that was described as a cult by the Prime Minister himself is receiving such large amounts of government funding."
