A Perth religious group that housed rapist Jarryd Hayne without warning female members has been accused of failing to report a sex assault, blaming victims and utilising a series of troubling rituals. Award-winning reporter Annabel Hennessy investigates
A Perth-based Christian missionary group is facing serious allegations of misconduct including that leaders failed to report a sexual assault to police and blamed alleged victims for their attacks.
A special investigation from The Sunday Times into Youth With A Mission Perth can also reveal how the registered charity admits to encouraging sexual abuse victims to forgive their abusers and “repent” for any ill-will they held towards them.
The Australian government introduced new regulations last week that could have a major chilling effect across Australia’s diverse charities sector.
The government’s aim was clear: the regulations are intended to target “activist organisations”, and specifically crack down on “unlawful behaviour”.
Despite this rhetoric, there is no evidence unlawful behaviour by charities is a problem of any significance. By clamping down on charities in this way, the government is not only curtailing their ability to organise peaceful protests, it is imposing more unnecessary red tape on an already highly-regulated sector.
What would the regulations do?
The regulations would give the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) new powers to take action against a charity if it commits, or fails to adequately ensure its resources aren’t used to commit, certain types of “summary offences”.

The Coalition Government will cut red tape for thousands of Australian charities, with financial reporting obligations to be eased from the upcoming financial year.
Under reforms agreed to by the Council on Federal Financial Relations, financial reporting thresholds for small and medium charities registered with the Australian Charities and Not‑for‑profits Commission (ACNC) will be lifted, allowing over 5,000 charities to redirect their resources to help vulnerable Australians.
The new ACNC financial reporting thresholds for small charities will increase to under $500,000 annual revenue. This will mean nearly 2,500 charities will no longer be required to produce reviewed financial statements, saving each charity around $2,400 in accounting expenses annually.
