I reckon its a massive beat up. Slow news day.

I may have no experience working with NGOs, but $11m in additional (to their existing running costs) seems a stretch. Punters like me naively gave thinking that my cash would be immediately injected in to the community who have been burdened by hardship. Then to find that charties are skimming excessively and warehousing the majority of the funds, makes us think again about spontaneous philanthropy.
The CEO declared openly that a large chunk of the funds would be “saved to spend towards disasters in the future“. To me, that’s a breach of trust (referring to the legal concept of trusts) and not too far away from obtaining financial advantage by deception.
The instagram mum who raised $30m proudly stated that 100% of all donations would be given to charties on the ground. Little did she and the donors know ....

Now that we can't be outraged at the charities, focus on Scotty who thinks it's just great that merkins are donating cos he can keep his wallet closed. How good are volunteers and charitable donations !f**k off Bandy ... this is the age of outrage ffs .... i'm outraged!!
Gonna be a loooong few days and nights for the south of C-Brah
Whaddya mean? Coupla days at 42 degrees, fires on your arse and Curtis Scott returning to town? Just as well Julian O'Neill isn't anywhere near. I'll be interested to see if the Brumbies v Reds game goes ahead on Friday night.
it won't play for meThis is truly frightening. The perfect firestorm.
Best to read the description of what happened before watching the video.
These fires have been ruthless and at the mercy of the gods.
No human intervention can stop this sort of shit.
