The Australian Charities and Not For Profits Commission (ACNC) is now investigating every state and territory branch of the Returned and Services League of Australia (RSL). The New South Wales, Queensland, and South Australia branches are all under specific scrutiny, while other branches are understood to be the target of a more general review. Some within the organisation view it as fall-out from the multiple allegations of financial misconduct at the NSW branch, which first surfaced six months ago. The CEO of RSL Queensland, Luke Traini, said the branch had submitted a huge tranche of documents, including receipts for executive spending. “It was a pretty fulsome (sic) reply, so that’s 2,500 pages of documentation supplied to the ACNC,” he said.
