A second company linked to the Exclusive Brethren won more than $100 million in government contracts for protective gear during the pandemic.

Dubbed an “extremist cult” by former PM Kevin Rudd, the group has condemned homosexuality, requires women congregants to wear head coverings and has been accused in courts of forbidding contact with family members who choose to leave.

Senior church figures including a son of global leader or “elect vessel” Bruce Hales, were behind a company awarded $26 million by the federal government to supply Covid tests, TND revealed last week.

It can now be revealed a second company run by a church member and with direct links to Mr Hales’s sons’  was awarded another $105 million in contracts to supply the government with tests and equipment during the pandemic.
