In conversation with Simon O'Connor, Associate Law Professor and charity law specialist Dr. Juliet Chevalier Watts explains her report on the tax-free status of churches in New Zealand and the economic value of religious charities in the country. They also look at the potentially negative impact of the government's proposed tax on charities, the decline of faith in younger generations, and the controversy surrounding certain charities. They also touch on the relationship between the Church and State, with a focus on the State's interference in the Church's space and the importance of charities speaking out about their work.
