The party does not ask members, or prospective members, about their faith, religious or ethnic background or employment.”AdvertisementThe Diocese of Wilcannia-Forbes, which takes in the Carmelite Monastery of contemplative nuns, could not be reached for comment. It will probe fugitive property developer Jean Nassif’s links to Liberal party powerbrokers and councils.
