More than our actual Government! ScottyfromMarketing NotMyPM

I wonder if other celebs and millionaires living in Australia will reach into their pockets with the same generosity too.

Wonder of its worth asking Jabba Reinhart to chip in

Pink donated a fortune last time. We should adopt her.

Thank you 🙏 very much Pink for your kind donation & support to my fellow Aussies who have become victims to this horrifying tragedy, which has almost destroyed our beautiful land, people, property & precious wild life. 🙏

I like Pink.......she's good. Probably would have been a super star in any era. Could of at least evened it out to a Million though.

Let’s hope they aren’t donating on the Libs page. I’ve seen it reported donations to the fire relief where actually going straight to the Liberal Party!

Not a fan but all due respect to both of them.

Any news from Kylie and Adam Hills?! Maybe a bit from the payment of that awful (and terribly timed) tourism ad?!?

Selena Gomez has also said she will be donating

how wonderfull

OK let's openly hear what the corporations in AU are contributing to help with bushfires (beyond free time given up by employees for which corporations take all the credit)

Thanks celebrities
