- Title
A CHARITY IN ALL BUT LAW: THE POLITICAL PURPOSE EXCEPTION AND THE CHARITABLE SECTOR.
- Authors
GLAZEBROOK, SUSAN
- Abstract
This article examines the political purpose exception, which has prohibited charities from having non-ancillary political purposes. The origins of the modern definition of charity in early case law, through to the codification in modern statutes, are traced, and the reasons for the political purpose exception examined, as well as the difficulties and tensions that have arisen because of it. Finally, this article examines recent attempts in Australia and New Zealand to deal with some of the issues arising from the exception.
