“Friendly reminder….Comedian raised money not lawyer, politician, accountant lady.. that is the boss of the world. (CB quote) Celeste Barber has raised $51 Million to support areas affected by the bushfires that devastated Australia in the summer of 2019/20.“I’m all like let’s just give it to all these different places" (CB quote) "Turns out it’s not that easy because there’s laws or something involved” (CB quote) After celebrating the tremendous achievement, the community realized that the funds raised were only permitted to be used by the benefactor of the campaign, the NSW Rural Fire Service, and only then for strict purposes defined in the governance of that organisation.So the funds could be distributed to many other areas requiring help.Enter - an outraged group of people alleging deception and annoyance at the amount of money locked up with the charity that was the benefactor of the fundraising campaign.We now watch as Celeste and the NSW Rural Fire Service engage lawyers to attempt to redirect some funds to other area affected by the fires.Your hosts:David Galbally AM QC is one of Melbourne's most respected legal authorities.
