Story summary

On October 15, 2026, Lloyd Grimshaw, a spokesman for the Exclusive Brethren, appeared on right-wing US television to deny any involvement of his church in the previous federal election in Australia. This statement came ahead of his boss, Bruce Hales, who was scheduled to testify before the parliament's electoral matters committee. The timing suggests an attempt by the Exclusive Brethren leadership to preemptively address potential scrutiny regarding their influence on the election.
