There were several states in Australia which banned Scientology in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and then those Australian state governments in turn lifted those bans in the 1970s. I was Scientology staff from 1975 until I quit in 2003. Hubbard privately to his top aides in the late 1970s/early 1980s pondered if taking the religion label route was a wise choice. Scientology is a mystical practice at best. It's a fixed donation for each spiritual step of the Scientology ladder. I jumped aboard when I was a college student, and in hindsight I regret my leap, and I urge similar young people to steer clear of the movement. It is a totalitarian operation at the highest ranks, operating today on auto pilot. I think German academics from several universities should do some 5-10 year studies of Hubbard's full cannon of writings and pick this "established cult" apart!
