Members of the group expressed “concern over Mr. Ham’s domination of the groups, the amount of money being spent on his fellow executives and a shift away from delivering the creationist message to raising donations.” Ham was accused of trying to send the Australian ministry into bankruptcy. According to the CMI website, this dispute was amicably settled in April 2009. In 2008, Ham appeared in Bill Maher’s comedy-documentary Religulous.
