Second Folau fundraiser
A second fundraiser for sacked rugby player
Israel Folau drew more donations within 24
hours than a previous campaign that was
shut down by the GoFundMe site in June.
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.
