MELBOURNE - Sacked Australia fullback Israel Folau has had his crowdfunding campaign seeking A$3 million to help fund legal action against Rugby Australia shut down for breaches of the website’s terms of service, local media reported on Monday. More than A$650,000 would be returned to donors who had contributed to Folau’s campaign, the reports said.
“After a routine period of evaluation, we have concluded that this campaign violates our terms of service,” GoFundMe Australia’s regional manager Nicola Britton told the Sydney Morning Herald in a statement. Folau, a fundamentalist Christian, was sacked by RA and the New South Wales Waratahs for a controversial social media post and launched the crowdfunding campaign last week to pay for his appeal to the courts.
