Because spamming appears to be the intent of the organisation, so I was 
merely assisting the organisation in the promotion of its objectives.

The list keeps resending spam.

It can be stopped, quite simply, by closing the list to all but 
subscribers, but, the list stays open, and the spam keeps being 
distributed by the list.

In the case of a previous spam, the organisation is directly responsible 
for distributing offensive material via the internet, which, I believe, 
is a federal offence under the telecommunications act.

The list is responsible for spamming; the organisation is a deliberate 
spammer.

Why does the committee just sit back and spam?

Why doesn't the committee take proper action to stop the spam, including 
closing the list to non-subscribers?

Because it appears that the organisation has a policy of spamming.
