Treasury Laws Amendment (Strengthening Accountability for Tax Adviser Misconduct and Other Measures) Bill 2026

Senator FARUQI (New South Wales—Deputy Leader of the Australian Greens) (17:56): According to reports, the Chai Charitable Foundation, which made more than $19 million in tax-deductible donations in 2025, has hosted campaigns for organisations that publicly state that they provide direct support to IDF soldiers. The reporting also alleges that the foundation hosted fundraising campaigns linked to illegal settlements in Tekoa and Hebron in the West Bank.

Michael West Media reported that the United Israel Appeal Australia, which reported $50 million of revenue in 2024, funds programs connected to the Lone Immigrant Soldiers initiative, which provides support for immigrants serving in the IDF. The report also alleges that the UIA has funded settlements to take over produce farms in the West Bank. Minister, do you know if the ACNC is investigating these organisations?
