Ann Aly's reasons for wanting The Base designated a terrorist organisation apply equally to the Muslim Brotherhood-Meanwhile BASE members and all taxpayers are entitled to clarification about her tax payer funded charity PAVE's finances, and why it is of concern to persons in Malaysia

Australia's security.(ABC News: Herlyn Kaur)

From Ann Aly, according to the ABC:

"What we've seen is that The Base very much operates as a terrorist organisation in the way in which they recruit, in the way in which they communicate, the way in which they circumvent security."

It is surprising that "we've (not) seen that" the Muslim Brotherhood, which is active in Australia; is not also a terrorist organisation and that Aly and friends are not also demanding that the Muslim Brotherhood be banned. 

Meanwhile, Aly has yet to provide answers to these issues revealed in 2017, which concern he charity PAVE's financial management. The charity is funded by taxpayers.

Neither has she explained why queries from this writer about PAVE were sent to a person or persons in Malaysia.

Labor MP Anne Aly Cannot Explain Where Money From Her Government Funded NGO Has Gone To

Anne Azza Aly

Labor MP Anne Azza Aly is founding chairperson of People Against Violent Extremism (PAVE), a charity registered with the Australian Charities And Not For Profits Commission.

 As of November 2016 PAVE's statutory filing of financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015  remained overdue.When this was made known to media in November last year by this writer,  she responded via an email demanding to know what this writer could do to help her meet her reporting obligations (I kid you not).

When the accounts were finally lodged, the accounts showed that some AUD 210,000 in government funding was explained away in just two items; "Other Expenses" and a "Surplus",which has presumably been retained by Ms Aly.

INCOME STATEMENT

For the Period 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015 (if different provide range below)

to

Income/Receipts $ Government Grants 208,732 Donations and bequests 2,200 Other Income/Receipts 7,530 Total Income/Receipts 218,462 Expenses/Payments $ Employee expenses/payments 8,131 Grant and donations made by the registered entity for use in Australia 0 Grants and donations made by the registered entity for use outside Australia 0 Other expenses/payments 118,844 Total expenses/payments 126,975 Net surplus/deficit 91,487

No auditor would pass this set of accounts,yet the AG 's Department seems to have done precisely that,for  PAVE has reporting obligations to the Commonwealth AG. 

As for Aly, silence prevails on all matters raised, including her connections with Malaysia.

2015 Financial Report

"Other" in accounting terms means miscellaneous and that is how Anne Aly MP explains spending the bulk of a government grant.

Other expenses/payments

118,844

The quantum of the next largest item is only $ 8,131. Consequently, more than 93% of outflows have not been identified.

The ultimate destination of the  surplus of $ 91487,or 42% of the total inflows  is also not  explained.

Therefore only 3.7 % of the total income of the charity (almost all of which is in the form of a  government  grant of about $210,000)  is accounted for.
