The page was launched early Tuesday morning and quickly climbed past $115,000 by 7.30am — in addition to the $100,000 head start from the ACL — as Australians woke and started donating.
“The words that Folau uses about gay Australians — people like me — they exist in a context where the Morrison government is looking at whether people really care or not that religious schools can exclude LGBTI teachers and students,” she said. “While Israel does not intend to respond in detail at this time regarding the accusations thrown at him or his family, he wants it known that these attacks have hardened his resolve,” the statement from Israel Folau said.
“Today we will be closing Israel Folau’s campaign and issuing full refunds to all donors. After a routine period of evaluation, we have concluded that this campaign violates our terms of service,” GoFundMe’s Australia regional manager Nicola Britton said. According to the terms and conditions on the website, users may not attempt to raise money “for the legal defence of … intolerance of any kind relating to race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, sex, gender or gender identity, or serious disabilities or diseases”.“Yes, GoFundMe has pulled the page. People are actively working on a solution,” he wrote.Israel Folau with Australian Christian Lobby managing director Martyn Iles.
Be careful what you wish for:
Donating money to a man that has over $7 million seems a little excessive.
A pair of fools sucking up money from bigger fools who are funding a rich man' s futile and deplorable court challenge.
Absolute disgrace. I know FatherBob would appreciate a donation if they money like that to throw around. At least he will use it for good.
If these lot can raise money that quick well maybe they should start being taxed, as always the greedy hide behind the word of God
Support his greed. Great
That's fine they can give money to whatever they like. I wouldn't support a legal attempt to justify breaking a contract myself but it's a free country.
I just threw up a little in my mouth looking at these 2 wankers!
If you don't understand why ACL is giving money to him you should probably move on to debating something more simple and suited to your child like intellectual level
What would do if Falou didn’t exist? Every second story is about him, considering how outraged your “journalists” are about him they sure do love him
It’s interesting that the leftists aren’t happy with the bullying pitchfork campaign on his family, but they’re also looking at cybercrime to stop him having support.
Stupid is a stupid does 🤨
Oh I’ve had enough now. I will no longer give money to charities associated with a religious bent, there goes the salvos and any other my hard earned goes to.
What a joke the both of them 😂
That’s great news about the ACL - giving Foolau money that was donated to them. Obviously they’ve already given blankets and heating to elderly Christians who are freezing to death! Jesus sure did weep when he read that on Twitter!
I'm raising money for Help Israel Folau learn contract law. Lol Jks he will never learn so why not help a great cause like headspace_aus Click to Donate: via gofundme
Disgusting!
Why that lobby doesn’t launch a fundraising for poor people and poor children ? Why defend an influencer public rugby player (strong on the field but homophobic and poor off field)?
someone should check the hard drive of the other bloke... justSayin
Religious extremists scare the crap out of me. The pair look like rabid fundamentalists and we've seen the damage they have caused across the globe.
Would rather give it to someone terminally ill.. the wanker has enough money to pay his own court costs
Where was this outrage when it came out about priests sexually abusing mostly young men?
Still wanting his 15 minutes of fame. This person is not newsworthy .
