Folau had his contract terminated by Rugby Australia (RA) in May after he said that ‘hell awaits’ gay people. He sought donations for a legal battle with RA and after the closure of the initial fund, the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) fundraising campaign had raised more than A$760,000 (£414,000) in donations. The ACL have donated A$100,000 itself.
