Progress of an investigation into the charitable status of Destiny Church
Rex Widerstrom made this Official Information request to Department of Internal Affairs
The request was partially successful.
From: Rex Widerstrom
Dear Department of Internal Affairs,
It has been widely reported that several complaints have been submitted referring to the charitable status of Destiny Church. I therefore ask, under the provisions of the Official Information Act:
- How many such complaints have been accepted as having prima facie validity?
- How many, if any, are currently under investigation?
- What is the expected date of completion of any active investigations?
- Have any such investigations been concluded?
- If so, what was the outcome?
Yours faithfully,
Rex Widerstrom
